Get matched with top pressure washers in Odebolt, IA

Does the water in your taps sometimes come out very slowly? If so, you might have problems with low water pressure in your house, and your pressure washer won’t effectively clean. To test if your water pressure is sufficient, time how long it takes for the water from your hose to fill a 5-gallon bucket. Usually, if it takes less than two minutes, you’re good to go.

The difference between pressure washing and power washing is the temperature of the water. With pressure washing, cool water from an outdoor spigot supplies water to the pressure washing machine. With a power washer, the cool water is heated inside the machine, which has a heating coil. The power washer sends out heated, pressurized water for a deeper clean.

A pressure washer’s size or power is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The amount of pressure you need will depend on your project and the material you’re washing, but consumer pressure washers range from 500 to 2,400 PSI. Porous materials like brick and stucco should not be blasted with anything stronger than 1,000 PSI, while you can use a PSI of up to 2,400 to clean a vinyl fence.

Choosing a professional to pressure wash your home can make all the difference between a job well done and a job not so well done. The best way to choose a pressure washing pro is by finding at least three contractors or companies and vetting them. To help you find the best pressure washing pro near you, ask the following questions: How many years of experience do you have? Do you have any credentials? What methods do you use to clean driveways? Do you have a workmanship warranty and insurance? What availability do you have? What happens if you damage my property? How long does it take to complete the job? How much do you charge to pressure wash a driveway? What’s the cancellation policy? Do you offer any additional services? Do you offer a customer satisfaction guarantee?
