Ten Reasons To Soft-Wash Instead Of Pressure-Wash

Of all the concerns with house washing, damage is the biggest. The reason to clean bio particles off a home's siding, roof, bricks, and driveway is to prevent damage in the first place. In the second place, pressure has the potential to do more than a little damage. If you decide to use a pressure washer, like a hand held sprayer, do so at your own risk. We advise that since the purpose of washing fungus, algae, mold, and mildew is to prevent further damage from spreading, care should be taken to do the job correctly. Pressure washing will only exacerbate things.

Our third, on a list of reasons to soft wash, is that high pressure can actually peel back asphalt shingles and rip them apart. And number four on our top ten is that the same damage vulnerablity is present with siding. Even quality siding under warranty should not have to stand up to a hand held tornado such as pressure washing.

Fifth reason Is that pressure moves the bio- organisims away from the target and that's about it.

Oh, then there's reason six Pressure washing provides a nice wet bed for the fungus to re-establish itself and flourish. Soft washing usually requires professionals to bring the right equipment and do a quality job. A homeowner do-it-yourselfer can get a pressure washer from his brother in law for cheap and enjoy spraying. But the results will likely not be satisfctory.

Reason seven Some homeowners like selective overgrowth for its visual appeal on stonework and walkways. It can be left untouched by professionals. Brick walkways and patios provide boundaries and decorative hardscapes to enhance the yard. The pros understand that you might like to maintain certain patches of bio growth as a natural way to create a certain look.

Reason eight It is wise to prevent damage to your home. Maintaining your home's roof is so much less expensive than replacing sections, or, the entire roof . Many homeowners are unaware that prevention is an option to replacing.

Reason nine Professionals who are insured properly will not cause more headaches in case someting goes wrong on your property. The pros take full responsibility for all their actions and for being on the property. Make sure you see credentials and insurance papers, not just a promise.

And reason ten to soft wash Your home's appearance is something you are proud of and we want to help you keep it that way.Your investment is more than just a place to live. You have a stake in the community, daily life, actual overall appearance, and feelings of satisfaction that come from the way your home looks. We agree that you need to use regularly scheduled maintenace to keep your home looking its best.
