Surfaces That Should Not Be Pressure Washed – Try our Soft Wash Instead.
There are some surfaces that should not be pressure washed, or that require special care when being pressure washed. The siding of your home should not be pressure washed unless it is made from brick. Follow this link to learn more about house washing and soft washing.
Stucco
Stucco is a very porous material that is commonly used on homes and buildings. Using high pressure water can blast away pieces of stucco or make the surface vulnerable to cracking. Stucco should only be cleaned with soft washing.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles can be damaged by high-pressure washing, as it can strip off the protective granules that help to protect the shingles from the sun. Although you can pressure wash some types of roof such as concrete tile, and ceramic tile we don’t recommend this unless absolutely necessary. There are much safer and effective ways to perform roof cleaning.
Softwoods
Softwoods, such as cedar or redwood, can be easily damaged by pressure washing.
Painted Surfaces
Using high pressure on painted surfaces can strip paint or reduce the adhesion of the paint causing it to chip and peel in the future.
Vinyl Siding
Pressure washing vinyl siding can strip the factory UV protection layer causing it to become chalky when exposed to the sun. Using high pressure water on vinyl can force water behind the panels causing mold and rot. Pressure washing vinyl can also leave permanent lines and stripes where the pressure was not applied uniformly.
Wood Siding
Using high pressure on wood siding can cause marks and lines and can also force water into the insulation behind causing mold.
Windows
Using high pressure on windows can damage the adhesive between the glass and the frame. On double-paned windows, this can break the vacuum seal causing the window to fog up from the inside and reduce the thermal isolation.
