Pressure Washing questions, answered by experts

You should avoid using a pressure washer on any surface or item that could be damaged by the high-pressure spray, as some materials are too delicate to withstand the force.

Key items and surfaces to avoid include:

  • Electrical Components: Never pressure wash electrical systems, as water can cause short-circuits and create a safety hazard. This includes utility meters, breaker boxes, electrical outlets, generators, and HVAC or air conditioner units.

  • Delicate and Fragile Materials: Fragile items can crack, shatter, or be stripped by the pressure. Avoid pressure washing windows, glass, light fixtures, shingled roofs (especially asphalt), and stucco.

  • Painted, Stained, or Sealed Surfaces: Unless your goal is to strip the finish, do not pressure wash painted surfaces, stained wood (like decks), or anything with a protective seal that could be stripped away. Be especially cautious with older surfaces that may contain lead paint.

  • Soft Woods and Certain Decking: Delicate surfaces like softwood, composite decking, and antique or wooden patio furniture can be etched or damaged. If you must wash wood, use a lower-powered pressure washer with a wide-angle nozzle to prevent damage.

  • Living Things: Never use a pressure washer on people, pets, or plants. The force can cause serious injury and will destroy landscaping.

The life expectancy of a pressure washer depends on the model, its overall quality, and how well it is maintained. Most pressure washers have a life expectancy rating, typically measured in hours of use. Many models are rated for up to 500 hours, which can translate to a lifespan of around 10 years for a homeowner who uses the machine for about 50 hours per year. If you plan on using your pressure washer regularly, you may want to look for a higher-quality model rated for 2,000 hours or more.

Much like wood siding, it can be dangerous to use a pressure washer on composite siding. While normally durable, composite siding isn’t made to stand up to higher pressure settings. It also makes it very easy to damage the paint or finish on the siding. Some professional power washing companies may take the job on, but we recommend avoiding it, especially as a DIY project with a rented pressure washer.

Yes, you can safely pressure wash vinyl siding. As a durable material, vinyl can typically withstand pressure up to 3,000 PSI, holding up better than other siding types like aluminum or stucco. However, it's crucial to operate the pressure washer correctly to avoid damage. Before you begin, repair any existing cracks or damage to the siding. For a safe setup, use a 15- or 25-degree nozzle and maintain a distance of at least three feet from the siding to prevent splashback and damage.

If you don’t use the right PSI setting for your fence’s material, then yes, pressure washing can ruin your fence. Specifically, if you use a PSI that's too powerful, you may permanently damage a fence. Pressure washers can also remove paint from fences, though this can be a great thing if you’re looking to restore an old wood fence.
