When you are considering having your home pressure washed, pressure cleaning services in Brisbane is important to hire a reputable pressure cleaning contractor. When you begin to look for a contractor you will find that there are many available. However, they are not all the same. There is no legal standard in the business to protect the unsuspecting consumer from a fly-by-night individual who does not meet the standards of a professional pressure cleaning service. As a result, it is in your best interest to learn a little bit about proper pressure washing and what to look for in any service before you decide to hire them. Here is what a top notch commercial pressure cleaning service looks like.
First, consider the equipment they use.
The minimum requirements for a commercial quality service is to have a mobile station that contains a generator, water tank, chemical tank, professional grade hoses, whirl-a-way pressure washer, a direction pressure gun that supports 3 to 4 gallons per minute with at least 3500 PSI (pounds of pressure per square inch). When you talk with a pressure washer company representative ask him if he has this type of equipment. When the professional performs the pressure cleaning services in Brisbane of your home or business, they will wear protective boots, glasses and ear protectors. Before and during the cleaning process they will move your patio furniture and protect your garden, sprinklers and any other property to insure there is no damage to them as they pressure wash.
As they begin the actual pressure cleaning,
the tip of the pressure washer gun should be kept at the same distance from the surface at all times. Changing the distance will result in some areas being cleaner than others and when they have finished cleaning the surface will appear uneven in color. There will be darker areas and lighter areas. Consistency in distance is also an important element when it comes to pressure cleaning a wood deck. On a deck, however, the amount of pressure is even more important as too much pressure will damage the wood. In addition, pressure washing wood should be done with movements that go with the grain of the wood, just as you would when sanding. Smooth even, consistent movements are essential, using just the right amount of pressure to remove the dirt and mildew without damaging the wood.
A professional pressure washer service will apply all chemicals used with a sprayer
Or other similar type of equipment. The chemicals must be applied evenly and thoroughly and not applied by hand directly to the surface. If you are having your driveway and/or sidewalks pressure cleaned, ask the service rep if they use a whirl-a-way in combination with the regular pressure cleaning guns. This will optimize the cleaning process of your driveway and give you a much more thorough pressure washing job.
