Pointing and shooting a pressure washer might seem like a quick and easy way to get your property clean but there is more to this process than just pulling a trigger. In the wrong hands, a high-pressure water jet can cause serious and expensive damage to your structures. Instead of taking a risk, call a Gorilla for your Acton pressure washing.
It is not difficult to get your hands on a power washer but just renting a machine can lead to DIY disaster for the exterior of your home or workspace. Too much pressure can blast away aged or weakened materials or strip away protective coatings. Leave the heavy duty cleanings to the experts and get the best results, today.
What Can You Wash?
The stains around most properties can be broken down into naturally occurring discolouration and man-made (or bird-made!) stains. Dirt, grime and organic debris are a fact of life, but that doesn’t mean that you are stuck learning to live with them. Bird droppings can happen anywhere at any time and so can graffiti. This makes for a wide range of ugly stains that should be removed as soon as possible.
Because of the high water pressure used in these power tools, it is important to keep sprays limited to certain areas. Spraying vulnerable materials like stucco, vinyl siding or wooden tiles can lead to bald patches or breakage. This damage not only looks terrible but it makes the rest of your structure susceptible to water damage and rot.
High powered pressure washers are the ideal choice to remove dirt from hardened materials like concrete, decking or patios. In addition to dirt, these materials are vulnerable to algae growth – particularly in high humidity or damp environments. If algae is left to sit, it holds moisture against concrete which causes damage and creates slippery surfaces which are dangerous.
Professional Power Washing: The Cleaning Solution That Works
Stained concrete or invasive growth is an eyesore. This does not only create a negative first impression but it can impact the value of your property as well – but routine cleaning services can help this. Each Gorilla pressure washing service is dedicated to getting the right results and that means a proper inspection before machines are even fired up.
It is easy to overlook even the most high traffic areas. Everything from a retaining wall to a parking lot or parkade needs a thorough cleaning in order to look its best. Pressurized hot water sprays are part of the solution but proper pressure washing is a multi-step approach.
Using environmentally friendly cleansers and disinfectants, loosen surface dirt and pave the way for our next step: Gorilla Brushes. Specialized bristle brushes scrub these heavily stained areas, exposing the root cause of the problem underneath. From here, power washers are fired up and those stains are as good as gone.
