Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is a cleaning tool that uses highly pressurized water to create a powerful and concentrated stream of water to blast away clean dirt, algae, and other contaminants from outdoor surfaces. Methods can vary depending on the machine being used and the surface that’s being cleaned. It’s important to hire a professional as the pressure makes the stream of water dangerous and capable of causing damage, so it’s critical to have the knowledge and experience to find that sweet spot.

Pressure washing is great for those surfaces that require much more pressure than soft washing to be able to get to the dirt, lift it out, and away. For example, concrete is a durable surface that is cleaned using a higher amount of pressure. Because concrete is porous, contaminants soak into the surface of the concrete, requiring a good amount of pressure to properly flush them out.

Perhaps you’ve heard the terms “power washing” and “pressure washing” and wondered what the difference is. Some articles suggest it’s a difference in temperature. However, in practical use, the terms are used interchangeably. But soft washing and pressure washing are different, soft washing is a low pressure water system that’s ideal for more delicate surfaces that need a deep clean like roofs, whereas pressure washing is great for removing years of grime from your hard surfaces. 

When you look around your home’s exterior do you notice mold, mildew, discoloration, dark spots, moss or algae? These problems are typical, but you don’t have to live with them when you schedule routine pressure washing. Having regular cleaning services will prolong the life of your exterior surfaces, keep it safe from being a hazard for slips and falls, keep your home’s value, and prevent damage from occurring due to deterioration.
