Heated water is important because it creates a faster abrasive action, which combined with the cleaning chemicals breaks down the dirt more effectively while the water pressure loosens it and the water flow carries it away.

Depending on the size and square footage of your building, times will vary. On average a typical residential property will take about one day to clean all walls, grounds and patios.

Although a scheduled maintenance program is preferred, you can expect your estimate within a few days, and work to be completed within one week to ten days following an approved estimate.

In order to complete each job as quickly as possible, we ask that you:

• Access to electricity is not needed.

• Leave all water taps turned on.

• Close and secure all windows and doors

• Unlock gates or any entrances that might prevent access to the property.

• Place a towel under door frames if cleaning is to be done directly in that area.

• Report any leaks and concerns at the time of estimation.

Moss and debris should be removed first. Then a preventative spray can be applied to slow future growth. Zinc flashing or stripping can also be installed. If the area accumulating moss is always in the shade and is moist or damp, regular visits or a scheduled maintenance program is recommended. This prevents any permanent and harmful damage. Branches and vines should also be trimmed or removed from the roof as often as possible.

Yes, concerns regarding pets, gardens, and children are noted during the estimating process. Hot water cleaning is a great substitute for soaps and algaecides.

Yes, and with a de-grease treatment and pressure washing these areas can be cleaned and stains removed.

Regular cleaning and sealing extends the life of your deck or fence. This will save you money in the long run.

Obvious signs of trouble are:

• Grayed surface (sun or U.V. damage)

• Warped or cracking (water damage)

• Loose nails (a sign of excessive swelling & shrinking)

• Before sealing, the wood must be clean, and dry. Consult P.S.I. Factor for specific solutions to your wood related concerns.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

This saying should not apply when trying to maintain ones property value. A pro-active approach is highly recommended when it's related to home maintenance and water based cleaning. The more frequent the cleaning, the less pressure needed during cleaning.

Preventative cleaning takes less time and is more gentile. This will save you money in the long run, and preserve the integrity of the material being cleaned.

Blasting high-pressure water might remove surface dirt, but can also weather the surface, only damaging it in the long term. The proper washing technique is to use a light pressure (PSI), the right cleaning agents, and large amounts of water.

A higher GPM (gallons per minute) rating is much more important than the PSI (pounds per square inch) rating.

Note: P.S.I. Factor uses equipment rated at 5 GPM - over double the regular GPM used by most available pressure washers.

Flat surface cleaners are the preferred choice used by professionals to eliminate "wand marks" or streaks. Flat surface cleaners provide a more even and gentle clean. Flat surface cleaners are also less likely to "lift" edges around tiles, cause flaking on slate and damage previously repaired areas.
