Power washing

Noticing that your exterior just doesn’t have the same luster it once did? Feeling pressured about pressure washing?!  

Here’s  a few helpful things to consider when looking for professional pressure cleaning services:  

Pressure washing or power washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove loose paint, grime, dust, mud, biological growth and debris from hard surface objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete or asphalt.  

The pressure, expressed in pounds per square inch (psi)  is designed into the motor driven pumps capabilities  but can be adjustable, particularly for professional systems. Machines that produce pressures from 750 to 30,000 psi  or more are available but most jobs require 5,000 psi or less.  

Most pressure washers purchased at a local hardware store or retailer don’t sell machines capable of performing to maximum efficiency to the same degree as commercial pressure washer  units.  A professional system can run for hours at carefully regulated pressure settings for optimal cleaning. 

The terms pressure washing and power washing are generally used interchangeably. There is some debate as to whether they are actually different processes but, regardless, we’ll make sure the right system is employed, whether it’s cold water wash or hot water for those challenging areas that need that extra boost. 

Pressure washing is more important than ever as pollutants from industry, atmosphere and combustion have increased the need.  Regular cleaning not only enhances the appearance of buildings, but it also helps in delaying the need for expensive and time-consuming restorations due to damage from environmental factors such as  mold or mildew, etc.  

For business owners, customers often judge a business by the appearance of the frontage and surrounding property. If the buildings exterior is covered in organic build up, graffiti or peeling paint, it could detract from maximizing your businesses potential and regular cleaning maintains the value of the property.
