Frequently Asked Questions About Power Washing
At Lakeside PowerWash we field a lot of understandable questions regarding the pressure cleaning process for residential homes and commercial business locations. Below are some of the questions we get. Have a question about pressure washing your home or business? Feel free to send us a message!
We only use envionmentally safe products that will not harm your pets, however, plants are more sensitive and need to be protected. If a cleaner drys on the leaves of a plan it can leave burn spots. It’s best to wet the plants down with water before, during, and after the cleaning process. There should be no damage as long as cleaners are not allowed to dry on the plants.
No. Only inferior cleaners have to depend on high pressure to do the job. High pressure can cause a lot of damage to your home. Too much pressure will force water behind the siding of your home and cause mold and mildew problems. Wood is softer than you might think, and using too much pressure to wash a deck can cut wood leaving marks and scars that show through the sealer. We use professional grade cleaners and the right amount of pressure.
Keep in mind the price you see advertised may not be the price you pay. Many homeowners get pressured into paying more for various extras. Other contractors’ strategy is to get the job by being the lowest bidder, and then cut corners to profit. Finally many companies come and go because they think pressure washing is easy and profitable, but they lack the equipment, cleaners, knowledge, and normally will charge an extremely low price. Lakeside Power Wash has been pressure cleaning around Lake Norman for over 20 years.
