05.22.24

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to overlook the dirt, grime, and mildew on the exterior surfaces of your home especially in the Pacific Northwest. Here the climate can exacerbate the buildup or debris, professional pressure washing services offer an efficient solution to tackle cleaning with precision and expertise. Here are some common questions:

What is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing is a cleaning process that uses high-pressure water spray to remove dirt, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces such as driveways, composite materials such as Trex decking, siding, and roofs. Trained professionals utilize advanced equipment and techniques to ensure thorough cleaning without causing damage to the surfaces being cleaned. The process is especially beneficial in the PNW, where damp conditions can lead to more rapid growth in organic material.

Doesn’t Pressure Washing Damage Surfaces Such As Siding and Walkways?
Pressure washing, when done correctly, does not damage surfaces. However, it requires knowledge, the right equipment, and careful technique to avoid potential harm. Sound Cleaning uses a variable power pressure washer and outdoor detergent when servicing your property. These create a powerful, effective, and efficient way to clean and restore the appearance of various outdoor areas, including siding and walkways, without damage.

Can I Perform Pressure Washing Myself?
While it is possible to rent a pressure washer and attempt to clean surfaces on your own, there are significant advantages to hiring professionals. Professionals are equipped with the knowledge to handle different surfaces appropriately, using the right pressure settings and cleaning solutions. This expertise helps prevent potential damage to your property that can occur from using too much pressure or incorrect techniques.
