FAQ's ABOUT POWER WASHING HOUSES

Yes, the "green" you see on your home's vinyl siding is a species of algae that infests thousands of homes yearly. We clean the siding with a special detergent and pressure washing to kill the algae and remove the stain. We also suggest using a mildew-inhibiting detergent to keep the algae from forming again. We clean the vinyl siding on houses with a process designed to safely remove algae, mold, grime, dirt, mold and other contaminants.

How to Clean my Roof

The black streaks on your roof are an invasion known as Gloeocapsa Magma. These algae eat away at the limestone filler in the shingles, leaving a dark residue. Our roof maintenance is designed to eliminate those black streaks and neutralize the infestation at its root. 

Pressure washing the roof is never recommended, so we do a "roof treatment." We use a special algae treatment to destroy moss, lichen and black streaks. This is done at very low pressure using a pump sprayer or garden hose attachment to avoid structural damage and ensure the best possible results for your home. 

Because roofing shingles can be damaged from high pressure, we stick with our "roof treatment," which destroys harmful living organisms that grow on the roof. We do not recommend using water pressure to remove debris from the roof. 

Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with Power washing or soft wash roof cleaning is not recommended. The good news, however, is that our treatment neutralizes moss and lichen at the root. This allows them to fall off the roof over time naturally. , italics or bold, and add links.

The time after which they fall naturally depends on the depth of their roots. That's why we offer a one-year warranty, beginning on the original service date. 

Our Concrete Washing and Sealing Process uses safe pressure to remove dirt and grime from concrete surfaces. We use the best concrete sealer that contains a siloxane sealant. The sealant helps protect against staining, water damage, moss, mold, and mildew growth. Additionally, it creates a barrier that repels oil and other contaminants and resists UV rays and other weather elements to extend the life of the concrete.

Our sealant is designed for typical concrete used on driveways and sidewalks. Our penetrating sealant is unsuitable for stamped concrete because another type of sealant was used when stamped. We also wash stamped concrete, but that is a different process. 

We use the highest quality siloxane-silane compound expertly formulated to penetrate the surface and protect concrete from cracking, chipping and pitting. 

No, we use a high-quality sealer that penetrates and protects the concrete from the inside. This ensures that the concrete does not become slippery or change its appearance after applying our sealer. 

These stains may lighten, but our process does not completely remove oil/rust or inorganic stains. We use professional grade degreaser or rust remover that diminishes the stain, but deeply embedded stains cannot always be removed without damaging the concrete. We can remove tire marks and other buildups on your concrete.

Cement under 3 years old is not cured enough to withstand power pressure washing.

High pressure can force water behind the shingles and set up the opportunity for mold and mildew. We use the correct pressure for home vinyl siding to clean and protect.
