If you’ve got a fence that looks old and dingy, we at Under Pressure Cleaning and Sealing Services, know how to remove the build-up of unsightly stains and discoloration without damaging your fence, no matter what the materials might be. Our softwash technique allows us to control the pressure through every aspect of the process, providing deep cleaning without fluctuations in pressure that might peel paint or otherwise harm the surface of the fence itself. These problems also are more likely to occur if a novice or untrained individual tries the same job with a pressure washer. The last thing you want is a fence that’s been “etched” by a poorly trained pressure washing professional. That’s why our technicians go through additional training every year.
We also know how to tailor our services to the specific type of fence you have on your property. For example, many pressure washing companies opt to use straight chlorine to remove mold, bacteria, algae, and other types of fungus from a fence. This can permanently alter the wood fibers in a wooden fence or, if your fence has been sealed, it could deteriorate the protective coating. The end result fades the natural color of your wood and can destroy lignin—the technical term for the glue that holds together wood fibers. We know how to clean your wooden fence the right way, using the correct accessories, the optimum water pressure, and the proper technique administered from the right distance. Get too close and you can strip or damage the fence, even breaking off pieces. Pressure wash from too far away and you’re not going to give your wooden fence in Fort Myers the proper cleaning it needs.
Vinyl fencing is easier to clean, but when removing mold, mildew, and other biological substances from a plastic fence, you still have to take special care to make sure you do not damage the finish on the fence. You also must ensure the fence is cleaned promptly, before those stains set in for good. You may think that you can pressure wash your plastic fence yourself; after all, how different is it from spraying down the fence with your garden hose? Just like your wooden fence, a plastic fence can be damaged if pressure washed by someone who’s not a trained professional. Many people have no idea exactly how much pressure the average machine puts out. But we can tell you, it’s enough to cause serious damage to a fence of any kind, so trust a professional like Under Pressure for this job.
