Power Washing | H2O POWERWASHING

Power washing and pressure cleaning are general cleaning trade terms that cover outdoor cleaning with the use of pressurized water. While pressure to some degree is involved in most cleaning jobs H2O POWERWASHING always uses the minimum amount to get the job done right. Water pressure when used incorrectly can do much more damage to the surface being cleaned then good. Specialized green cleaning solutions and hot water when necessary are a far superior combination of cleaning methods.

Roof Cleaning is one of the services that H2O POWERWASHING provides to clients in Ocean and Monmouth Counties of Central New Jersey. Many times clients will refer to roof cleaning as roof washing, shingle cleaning, pressure cleaning or just power washing when looking for a dependable roof cleaner.

The correct way to clean shingles, roof tile, slate or any other roofing material is with no pressure. Special cleaning products that are approved by the shingle manufactures and require professional applcation followed by a thorough rinse work best.

Removing the black stains from your roof will prolong the useful life of the shingles. A very aggressive algae growing on your roof is what causes the black streaks. The growth is actually feeding on and diminishing the amount of limestone in your roof shingles, and thats not good.

House Washing, exterior house cleaning and siding cleaning are all referred to as power washing by homeowners looking for a service provider. Homes in central NJ have a very diverse range of exterior siding. Vinyl siding because of it easy installation and durability is the most common on homes built in the past 30 years. While extremely durable vinyl siding is prone to organic growth such as algae and mold.

The north side of most New Jersey homes usually develops and grows algae, mold or mildew first. Tree cover and other factors can influence and accelerate the growth rate. Prolonged moisture from rain, morning dew and sprinkler systems in shaded areas is the perfect environment for growth.

Brick, stucco, aluminum siding, stone veneer, hardboard, cedar and other home siding materials are also susceptible to organic growth.

Deck Cleaning is another of the H2O services that is often called pressure cleaning or power washing. The fact is that more often then not, very little water pressure is used to properly clean and restore a deck. Deck cleaning solutions, hot water and a rotary surface cleaner are far safer then high pressure washing.

Wooden deck cleaning and composite deck cleaning are very similar. Both surfaces are easily scared and gouged with high water pressure.

The term Power Washing is also used to reference the outdoor cleaning of many other structures & surfaces such as;

Pergola / Gazebo Cleaning or a garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway or sitting area of vertical posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which woody vines are trained.

Fence / Railing Cleaning of usually wood or vinyl material.

Paver Cleaning is a new challenge to cleaning professionals. Pavers are solid enough to take high pressure but are usually set in and grouted with fine sand. High pressure washing can easily destroy thousands of dollars in highly skilled labor costs.

Patio Cleaning / Porch Cleaning is most often included in a complete house washing.

Shed Cleaning is exactly like house washing. These smaller structures usually feature the same type of building materials used on a residential homes.

Driveway / Walkway Cleaning are most often done with a rotary surface cleaner and hot water.

Patio Furniture Cleaning can be highly varied depending on the vinyl, metal, concrete, wood or other material used in the manufacturing process.
