Why Pressure Washing Should Be Left to the ProfessionalsFor most people, their home is the single largest investment they will make in their lifetime. If you think of it in those terms, one would understand that when providing any service to your home, you should only hire a professional. They have the experience and the expertiseâexperience is the BEST teacher!
So the question still remains about pressure washing your home, and the answer is this. Your home will NOT have damage IF you hire a professional. Below we will discuss the reasons.
Reasons Why You Should Hire a Professional Pressure WasherProfessional contractors have the highest quality equipment; the most important to the piece of pressure cleaning equipment is the pressure cleaning machine itself. It has to have variable pressure settings. If you donât know what you are doing and use a pressure that is too high (referred to as PSI), you could possibly damage the siding.Here are the top four reasons to hire Schertz Services:
- You could harm your home. A majority of the time when pressure cleaning the siding, you are shooting or aiming up and, because siding has vents, water can get up in there and you can potentially accelerate wood rot between the siding and your home.
- Low pressure needs to be used with detergents that are bio-degradable. Many times, if there is a tremendous amount of dirt and mold, using just plain water will not take care of cleaning the siding. The detergent needs to be an algaecide and fungicide so the mold will not return as quickly. A contractor that is not well versed in the proper chemical composition may use the wrong detergent for you siding and damage can occur.
- We know how to protect your landscape. Many times a forgotten item, if the proper precautions are not taken to landscaping, damage can occur. Several steps to keep in mind to prevent the damage such as pre-wetting of the landscapeâplants, grass, and anything else thatâs in the path of the pressure washers. Tarping the landscaping with the proper tarps works well tooâsometimes used in combination with the pre-wetting of the landscaping.
- Schertz Services is licensed. Does the contractor you are using have the proper permits and licenses to operate in your area? I hope so because if they donât and something occurs, Harry Homeowner could have a âsituationâ on their hands!
