Are you considering a power washing service for your building?
Under Pressure & Sealing Services’ team is ready to help you out.
You may have heard about power washing (also known as pressure washing). It is a process to remove loose paint, dirt, grime, debris, and other pollutants using a high-pressure water spray. It is preferred over traditional washing as the high pressure can be used to clear up hard-to-remove contaminants.
Advantages of Power Washing
There are several advantages of power washing services for commercial buildings.
- Improves Your Building’s Appeal
One of the most apparent benefits of power washing is that your building gets an immediate boost in its curb appeal. After a power washing, if your building is on the market, its real estate value goes up. Not only does it give the structure a fresh new look, but it can also benefit your business too. If you have clients coming up after a pressure washing service is done, they are more likely to be impressed by you.
- Cleans Your Surfaces Thoroughly
Power washing doesn’t refer to only the walls of your building. It can be done to walkways, sidewalks, driveways, and any surface that needs cleaning. The more footfall a particular place has, the more visible the results will be after power washing.
The place with the most footfall will have the most amount of garbage, such as trash, gum residue, stains, and others. For someone who is used to seeing such a gross sight, the effect of a power washing can be surprising for them.
- Prevents Injuries
Power washing removes all the dirt, grime, stains, and other substances too. These are not just hampering the visual appeal but are also a threat to your health and safety too. Pollen, dust, bird droppings, and other contaminants can affect your health and can cause issues like difficulty in breathing and allergies. Many diseases will fester in these contaminants. With power washing, all these can be washed away easily.
Furthermore, oil spills, paint stains, grease, and other such substances can cause slips and falls in walkways, garages, and other surfaces. With pressure washing, these won’t be a problem anymore.
- Prevents the Need for Repairs
One of the most common issues that building owners face is the growth of moss and algae and the build-up of dirt. Apart from the ugly look they cause, they can actually be a source of some serious damage to your building’s structures. Building materials like bricks wear away gradually if they are not properly washed.
Moss and algae can spread around, weakening your walls and bricks and may lead to roof collapse. Pressure washing helps prevent all of that and ensures you don’t have to call for repair services again and again.
Power Washing Process
A professional power washing service requires several steps in the procedure.
- First, the experts will clear away all the dirt and debris and remove any plants. They will start the pressure washer to clear up any loose dirt too.
- The experts will then apply soft wash pre-treatment over all the surfaces and let it wait for approximately 20 minutes.
- The experts will then proceed to spray hot water over the surfaces to ensure a thorough cleaning.
- In the final step, the experts will give a rinse to remove any residues. They will then do a manual scrubbing to ensure all the debris is cleared away, leaving a sparkling surface.
