Why Pressure Washing in Ellijay?
Pressure washing in Ellijay and Blue Ridge is more of a necessity than a luxury. Although appearance is important, pressurized washing lifts dirt, grime, moss, mold and damaging substances. Power washing reaches into the tiniest crevices to blast out everything that has built up over time.
The key benefit is stopping the damage before it has a chance to really take hold and create a major headache for the property owner. A good cleaning will prevent damage to your home or business and even help keep your family or employees safe and healthy.
The “pressure” part is what makes it so much more effective than just regular washing with water and elbow grease, as well as the ability for the jets of water to reach into tiny nooks and crannies and blast out all the dirt hiding out of sight. The washers produce pressures from 750 to 30,000 pound-force per square inch, or psi. (For comparison, the average force from a home water faucet is about 40 to 60 psi.)
Should You Do it Yourself or Hire a Pro?
Obviously, we’re big proponents of professional pressure washing in Ellijay … it’s kind of our gig. But, we truly believe that pressure washing your property in Ellijay and Blue Ridge is one thing you should definitely leave to professionals. Hiring professionals to power wash your property actually saves you time and money, not to mention sweat and elbow grease.
Let’s be honest. We may make it look pretty easy, but Pressure Washing in Ellijay is hard work. Professionals can clean your exterior in a matter of hours, while it may take those who are not as experienced an entire day. Plus, professionals can guarantee results that last – you won’t have to rent a power washer again in a couple of weeks when dirt starts accumulating again.
The most important financial consideration, however, is that if you don’t own a pressure washer you will have to pay rental fees, AND you risk paying repair fees if you end up damaging your property.
Safety Concerns When Pressure Washing in Ellijay …
Pressure washing in Ellijay and Blue Ridge brings different challenges than pressure washing in other areas, say Arizona. Our area is mountainous and most houses are built on a slope, some on the side of a mountain. Pressure washers, by definition, pack a lot of pressure. They can generate 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch. To put this into perspective, a garden hose delivers water at 50 psi.
That’s a serious safety hazard in untrained hands while balancing on an uneven surface. Retail power washers come with product warnings for a reason, and Consumer Alerts has even issued a safety alert for them. High-powered water streams are dangerous for property, people and pets, as they can pierce skin and eyes. According to ABC News, more than 6,000 people were sent to the emergency room for pressure washing related injuries.
The professionals at Detailz Professional Services know how to handle this dangerous equipment, and know how to protect themselves and others, as well as your property. Additionally, a lot of exterior cleaning jobs require getting up on a ladder to tackle dirt that’s up high. The added dimension of height can make an already tricky job more dangerous.
Leaving pressure washing to the pros is your best bet when it comes to keeping yourself and your property safe and achieving the best results.
