Pressure washing - it's so easy anybody can do it, right? Not quite.
This type of thinking gets a lot of homeowners into trouble when it comes time to give their house a good pressure washing. Just spray a little soapy water, and the dirt comes right off. That's one of the biggest misconceptions about the craft.
DIY house washing sounds appealing now, but there's a major risk involved in trying to tackle pressure washing your house on your own.
DIY Pressure Washing Can Cause Serious Damage To Your Property
You've undoubtedly heard some of the horror stories about pressure washings gone wrong. Exaggerated as they may sound, most of those stories are true. Trying to pressure wash your property without learning which pressure settings work best for surfaces can lead to:
- Broken windows
- Cracked and chipped paint
- Damaged siding and roof shingles
Not only do these things drag down your curb appeal, but they can also lead to bigger issues down the road. For example, using too much pressure can cause you to make a massive hole in your roof. That massive hole allows water to leak in, which can cause accelerated growth of mold spores and mildew in your house. Now, you've got to have your roof repaired AND spring for mold removal.
When you need to have your property pressure washed, it's best to avoid the worry of irreparable damage and have a trained pressure washing professional do the work for you. Fortunately for our Melbourne neighbors, our friendly pressure washing experts are just one call away!
