Pressure Washing in Mountain View, CA

Power washing a house can be good and bad. This depends on the home’s condition and building materials.

For example, a newly built face-brick house can withstand some pressure, so you can power wash it. However, this same technique would destroy a stucco finish. You would also run into problems if the brickwork was cracked.

Power washing uses quite a bit of force to remove dirt. Therefore, you need to know when to use this technique.

We recommend using a soft washing technique to be safe. This is gentle enough to use on all surfaces because we use a detergent rather than pressure to lift and remove dirt. Soft washing is also better if you’re dealing with organic growth.

The power washing method uses a combination of high-pressure and heated water. This is a highly effective technique that removes dirt, grime, and other debris. We adjust the pressure based on the surface type to avoid damage.

You would typically use more force when cleaning a robust surface like concrete or brick. You’ll want to dial things back when it comes to glass and roofing.

You should power wash your concrete patio and soft wash your wooden patio at least once a year. This will not only maintain its appearance but also remove compounds that can degrade it over time. However, you should keep an eye on it.

If you use it a lot, or there’s been particularly bad weather, you may need more frequent cleaning. You might also need to consider cleaning more frequently if you have a lot of trees in your yard.
