Pressure washing can significantly benefit your property when performed by a professional. However, those who try to do it alone and without training may cause more harm than good. The professionals at Vortex Pro Wash explain the costly mistakes of DIY pressure washing and how to avoid them.
Using Too Much Pressure
Too much pressure causes significant property damage, such as the following:
- Concrete etching
- Warped siding
- Stripping paint
- Damage wood
Many property owners use incorrect pressure levels, leading to ineffective cleaning or creating damage. Too much pressure leads to costly repairs and replacements; a professional pressure washing service eliminates this problem and protects your property from harm.
Not Using Cleaning Solutions
All commercial pressure washing services utilize various cleaning solutions to provide optimal results. Many DIY property owners forgo the solutions and rely on high pressure to clean. However, your property will not receive the best washing available without cleaning solutions.
Because the DIYers aren’t getting the results they want, they up the pressure and harm their building materials. Without the proper solutions, you will have to use more water, which may damage your property, leading to unsatisfactory results. You’ll waste your time, money, and effort on a lower-quality washing.
Low-Quality Equipment
Without access to a professional-grade pressure washer, a property owner cannot gain the full benefits of pressure washing. Over-the-counter pressure washers do not work effectively and lack the settings and abilities necessary for optimal performance.
A professional will pressure wash your property with high-quality cleaning equipment. With in-depth industry training, an expert will provide efficient and reliable cleaning. A low-quality pressure washer may not offer multiple cleaning methods, such as soft washing and power washing, which are necessary for a thorough cleaning.
For maximum benefits, request professional services for your property. Renting and using multiple over-the-counter pressure washers wastes time and money, leading to costly and inadequate cleaning.
Lack of Safety Gear
Pressure washing requires training and skills to prevent accidents. High-pressure water remains dangerous and may cause expensive hospital bills. A professional uses necessary safety gear to minimize injuries and limit unnecessary costs.
Below are some of the most common safety equipment professionals use:
- Goggles
- Long sleeves and pants
- Nonslip shoes
- Safety harness
- Gloves
Without proper safety procedures, you may significantly harm yourself or other residents. A professional team has a strict protocol in place to minimize these issues and prevent injury to the team and damage to the property. A qualified professional team has the necessary licensing and insurance to reduce financial problems if an accident does happen.
