Charleston, SC - The process of house washing can be intimidating to anyone who has never tried it before. After all, houses can prove to be overwhelmingly large. How is one supposed to reasonably clean all its exterior surfaces? And how can they complete the work in a reasonable amount of time, too? This is another one of those situations where knowing is half the battle. Jay’s Pressure LLC, a locally owned house washing business, provides pressure cleaning services on a daily basis. As a result, the company has vast experience with this work and has shared relevant information below.
Required Tools
Homeowners who plan to wash their own exterior surfaces and outside walls should assemble the correct equipment ahead of time. Jay’s Pressure LLC uses this gear regularly and has put together a list for your consideration.
-
Pressure Washing Pump and Hose
-
Treatment Chemicals (e.g. Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hypochlorite)
-
Safety Gear (Eyewear, Earplugs, Gloves)
-
Ladders (for Higher Surfaces)
Getting Started
The very first step of house washing is a thorough review of the home’s outside surfaces. During this review, keep an eye out for any sorts of tough stains, or any stubborn substances, such as moss, mold, and mildew. These hard-to-remove blemishes can be weakened using the treatment chemicals listed above. Further research is recommended to understand how these substances work, how much should be used per project, and which chemical should be used based on the homeowner’s unique situation.
Next, the correct level of water pressure for the job must be determined. This will vary depending on the material the home exterior is made of. For example, aluminum siding can withstand a force of 1,200-1,500 PSI. Conversely, painted surfaces may need to be washed with as little as 500 PSI (to avoid chipping the paint). Each material has its own limits, so be sure to double-check online sources to determine the right level of water pressure for your home.
Restoring Residential Beauty
With all preparatory steps out of the way, it is time to advance into the process of pressure washing the house’s outside walls. It is important to pay attention to the small details during this work. Spray jets of water on the home’s exterior using a hose, and work in a “row-by-row” method to avoid losing track of what has been cleaned and what has not. However, you may find that it is obvious to tell which areas have been pressure washed because of the drastic visual improvement. Exteriors that have been cleaned will be much brighter and even smoother to the touch.
The process of washing a home’s exterior can take a first-time DIYer most of a day to complete. This sort of time investment can be intimidating. Because of this, you may opt for professional house washing instead of DIY house washing. Jay’s Pressure LLC is happy to provide this service to clients all across the community and would be delighted to serve you whether your home is one story tall or two stories tall.
