Got Hose Pressure? Probably Not Enough To Do The Job

It's inevitable. At some point in the spring or summer, or maybe the fall too, you'll notice some mold has appeared, or leaves have gathered on one of the paved surfaces around your Wesley Chapel home or business. So you grab the traditional garden hose, set the nozzle on the "jet" mode, and fire away. A spot that was once a foot in diameter now is spread out and covers a much larger area, though it appears there is less dirt.

Not so. All you've done is spread the mess around, and nothing is clean. In fact, the grime now covers a bigger area. So you keep spraying, and eventually, you think the problem is solved. Unfortunately, it's not.

Pressure washing a paved surface involves more than just using a hose and nozzle to clean away unwanted blemishes. There is a system and procedure that includes the following:

• Water pressure and temperature.
• Condition of material being treated.
• Degree of contaminants on the surface.
• Overall desired result.

Homeowners and business owners alike would think simple sidewalk cleaning or pool deck cleaning is a simple task. Just point the hose and blast away. This actually can cause damage if the pressure is too high or results in the aforementioned spreading of dirt and grime.

Why Pressure Washing Is A Must In Florida

We live in a hot, humid area with temperature fluctuations and sometimes unpredictable weather conditions. It might be clear and beautiful in the morning, but by mid-afternoon in the summer, those Florida thunderstorms roll in and often pound away at your roof and property.

Your roof bears the brunt of the impacts of precipitation and weather. So scheduling roof and gutter cleaning at least twice a year will ensure the mold, mildew, grime, and other hard-to-spot contaminants are washed away using proper pressure and temperature and, if necessary, an environmentally sound antibacterial detergent.

Make The Call Before You Adjust Your Nozzle

While some property owners will choose the DIY option, it's essential to seek advice from professionals. They know this business better than you do and have trained professionals who will advise you on the best course of pressure washing action, from simple sidewalk cleaning to window washing to deck and fence restoration.
