How To Prepare Your House for Professional Pressure Washing Services

Pressure washing your home is the best way to get rid of built-up grime, decaying organic materials, moss, mold, and mildew. Your home will look clean and fresh, improving its curb appeal. It protects your exterior finish materials from deterioration, saving money on repairs. Before we arrive to professionally pressure wash your house, there are a few things you can do to prepare.

Prepare Your House for Pressure Washing

Pressure washing involves hundreds of gallons of water being sprayed on your house with force. The following steps will safeguard you and your home from unexpected harm:

  • Seal doors and windows – inspect your doors and windows for potential leaks that may allow water to get inside. Use a sealant to close the gaps. Securely lock them before the pressure washing begins.
  • Seal exterior openings – take a close look at your exterior walls for drilled holes or damage that would allow water to penetrate. Use a sealant to close them up.
  • Clear the area – remove objects from around your house that could become tripping hazards or get tangled in the hoses. Clear away anything that should not get wet.
  • Check window screens – loose screens can be dislodged during pressure washing and get bent or broken. Remove them, or properly secure them if you want them to be washed.
  • Check electrical outlets – shooting a stream of water directly into an exposed electrical outlet creates a shock risk. Remove extension cords and close the outlet covers.
  • Protect your plants – most plants cannot endure high-pressure water. Drape your shrubs and flower beds with tarps. If possible, move potted plants out of the way.
  • Keep your family safe – during the time of the actual power washing, keep your children and pets indoors. It protects them from injury and allows our technicians to leave your gates open for easy access to our power washing equipment.
