Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you bring our own water?Open or Close
We use the clients water whenever possible, however when needed we can bring our custom made water trailer. This is important if you are on a well and the system cannot keep up with the demand.
-
Is the pressure of your machine going to damage my siding, brick, wood or any thing else?Open or Close
NO. We use a soft wash or low-pressure system that is designed to limit your property’s exposure to high-pressure washing. House washing is typically kept under 500 PSI (pounds per square inch) and wood restoration under 1,000 PSI. This is done with the use of cleaning solutions that kill 100% of the mold and mildew, as well as aid in removing pollution buildup, pollen and insect webs and droppings.
