Why Professional Pressure Washing Is Better Than DIY

Roof cleaning

When the exterior surfaces on your property need to be cleaned, it can be mighty tempting to run out and pick up a pressure washer and try to tackle the task yourself. But what many homeowners don't realize is that there are a lot of factors and variables when it comes to pressure washing, and it's far from a matter of just blasting water around.

Hiring a professional pressure washing company to take care of your surface cleaning needs isn't an expense but an investment in the beauty and longevity of your exterior surfaces. If you're thinking about taking matters into your own hands, do yourself a favor and at least consider the risks and rewards of DIY pressure washing.

Using The Appropriate Tools And Techniques For Each Surface

Each of your exterior surfaces needs to be cleaned in its own specific way, requiring different equipment, methods, and cleaning solutions. Roof cleaning, for instance, is best completed using a form of pressure washing known as soft washing. Soft washing uses little to no water pressure but a higher concentration of cleaning agents that will break down contaminants so they can be rinsed away. Soft washing soaks a surface rather than spraying it.

If one were to try to clean a surface material that required soft washing using standard pressure washing, they could be in for a world of hurt. Delicate surfaces can't be ripped apart and destroyed using the wrong form of pressure washing, and the pros know how to clean each one appropriately.

Avoid Injury Or Worse

Pressure washing blasts water through a spray nozzle at a frightening speed. While this high pressure is essential for cleaning certain surfaces, it can also be tough to handle and easy to lose control of. One wrong move or turn can send a powerful blast of water over your shoe or limb, and the force of this spray is enough to cut through clothing, skin, arteries, and tendons. There have been many horrific accidents due to the improper use of a pressure washing machine, and when you hire a professional, you won't have to worry about that.

Ensure You Get The Results You Desire

The whole point of having your surfaces pressure washed is to restore their original beauty and extend their lifespans by removing harmful substances such as algae, mold, and mildew. When you enlist the help of an amateur pressure washer or try to do it yourself, they or you could work at a surface all day and not achieve the precision, uniform clean that you had hoped for. Hiring a professional pressure washing team will ensure your surfaces get a deep, revitalizing wash and guarantee that you'll get the results you want.
