Professional property maintenance services company The Service Pros, can help maintain your home through pressure washing. Regular pressure washing ensures that all exterior surfaces remain clean and free of debris, grease, mold and mildew.
If you’ve scheduled a pressure washing service with our team, there are a few steps you can take to prepare your home before we arrive.
1. Give The Pros Easy Access
If your property has gates or electronic keypads, please unlock them in advance or provide us with the access codes. When our team arrives, we will need to connect our pressure washers to your outdoor water faucets. To ensure a smooth and efficient pressure washing service, kindly inform us of their locations beforehand.
2. Clear The Areas That Need Cleaning
Professional pressure washing services use powerful soaps and cleaning solutions to remove debris, dirt and grease. Ensure the work area is free of objects or obstacles that could be damaged by water overspray.
Inspect the surroundings of every outdoor surface you need us to work on and consider moving or covering the following with a waterproof tarp:
Outdoor furniture like patio tables or grills
Decorations, such as lights, potted plants or flags
Vehicles like cars, trucks or motorcycles
Lawn and gardening equipment
3. Protect Your Indoor Environment
Our power washing services use high-pressure water jets to dislodge dirt, debris and contaminants. While our team will take care to minimize overspray, our equipment is designed to dispense large amounts of water at high velocities. Take the following extra precautions to secure your home from accidental water seepage and prevent potential water damage from our pressure washing equipment:
Ensure every door and window is fully closed.
Inspect each door and window frame for potential gaps and cracks.
Check your home’s siding, seams and joints for potential gaps or holes through which water could enter.
If you find gaps or cracks, seal them with duct tape, weather strips, plastic coverings or caulk. The right choice depends on what best fits the area.
4. Trim The Vegetation
If dense vegetation or overhanging branches cover some of the walls that need cleaning, consider trimming or removing them before our team arrives. Overhanging vegetation can obstruct our equipment and delay the completion of our services. Consider taking these steps:
Locate tree branches hanging over or near your home’s exterior and trim them so they can’t obstruct pressure washing machines.
Prune wall bushes and other climbing plants on the walls that need cleaning.
Trim hedges closest to the surfaces to be cleaned.
Identify any plants that can’t be trimmed or pruned, cover them with a waterproof sheet or tarp and inform our team about them.
5. Protect Your Exterior Power Outlets
If you have a lawn, a garden or outdoor space for cookouts and gatherings, chances are your property is equipped with outdoor power outlets. Protecting your outlets from our pressure washers can help prevent short circuits. Follow these steps to ensure your outlets are safe from our water jets:
Find your circuit breaker and turn the power off on all exterior outlets.
Physically locate all outdoor power outlets.
Install waterproof covers on all outlets.
6. Tell Us About Sensitive Surfaces
If any surfaces of your home are more sensitive than others, let us know. Our team can use softer washing techniques and different cleaning solutions to ensure they don’t break or wear out unnecessarily. Examples to look for:
Fragile windows, such as older single-panes, loose frames or windows with cracks.
Wooden surfaces, such as decks, fences or wood patios.
Fragile painted surfaces, such as walls with chipped or peeling paint.
Older roof shingles.
Older or unstable gutters and downspouts.
Delicate delicate plants and flowers.
