Risk of Property Damage
In the hands of an inexperienced user, a pressure washer may offer more risk than reward. Different surfaces withstand different levels of pressure, so it’s vital to know how much is too much. If done incorrectly, pressure washing often causes damage to the property, including:
- Stripping or discoloration of paint
- Loosening or damaging brickwork and masonry
- Denting or accidentally dislodging siding and roofing
- Cracking, marking, or etching concrete, stone, or wood surfaces
- Shredded screens, broken windows, or damaged window seals
- Water buildup resulting in algae, mold, or mildew growth under siding or roofing
Depending on the surface, As New Again uses both pressure washing and soft washing techniques to ensure the job is done correctly with zero damage to the property.
Safety Considerations
Power washers for regular consumer use reach pressures of nearly 3,000 psi, while commercial pressure washers take it upwards of 4,000 psi. Balancing on a wet ladder or roof while trying to control and focus a nozzle and high-pressure water stream is a recipe for disaster. The trained and experienced technicians at As New Again safely clean the surfaces of any home or commercial property, eliminating the risk of injury to the property owner.
Power Washing Techniques
Believe it or not, power washing entails more than just pointing a pressurized stream of water at a target. Too much pressure damages surfaces or leaves water underneath siding and roofing, causing the eventual growth of mold and mildew. Not enough pressure doesn’t do the job effectively. Standing too close to the target may cause concrete etching or leave marks in the wood of a deck. That’s why it’s best to leave pressure washing to the As New Again professionals, with their tried-and-true techniques perfected by experience.
