A quick, satisfying way to blast gunk away from a variety of exterior surfaces is done with pressure cleaning. Nothing compares to the unbridled power for cleaning walkways and stripping old paint from a deck among other nitty-gritty tasks by the incredible power of these machines. With the beneficial and simple use pressure cleaning offers, businesses and homes have a better advantage of combating gunk, filth and contaminants. Though power cleaning has its uses, there are applications that are safe for the high pressure and surfaces where you can cause damage. Today we at Big Moose Pressure Cleaning would like to share the surfaces that are safely pressure cleaned when done correctly.
Surfaces that Can Be Pressure Cleaned Without Damage By a Professional Exterior Cleaning Company
Deck. Pressure washing the deck is something most people find the optimal solution for cleaning the compact dirt and mud off, along with any mildew or mold, or simply as part of the refinishing process. It is safe to do with the right pressure and as long as the nozzle isn’t too close to the surface. Too much pressure or spraying too close can cause etching or other blemishing marks and to the extreme can lead to needing the planks replaced.
Concrete Walkways & Driveways. There is not much concern for etching on concrete surfaces and the durability can withstand the pressurized washing. A finer nozzle will prove to be more effective at spot-cleaning grease stains where mold or mildew cover can be rectified with lower pressure and a mold remover cleaner.
Siding. There are some types of siding that can handle the pressure, vinyl for example is durable enough for the pressure cleaning, as well as fiber cement. Aluminum siding is susceptible to denting if the pressure is too high, but with care, low pressure and broad nozzle, without heavy concentrated blasts can be effective. Wood clapboard siding is effectively cleaned with pressure washing, however, siding originating from homes built before 1978 will need to have an EPA-licensed lead-remediation specialist test the exterior paint first. Lead in the paint can be a detriment to the soil and it will never break down as it is a heavy metal. Any shingle-siding should be avoided as the pressure cleaning can knock the shingles loose.
Roof. Professionals can easily pressure clean the roof using safety protocols and the correct techniques and technical applications of the equipment can effectively and safely be pressure cleaned. DIY pressure cleaning on your roof poses too many variables that can lead to injury or damage. Where it might be tempting to tackle this project on your own, not all types of roofing materials should be pressure cleaned. An expert like Big Moose Pressure Cleaning offers soft washing for roofs.
