Bluewhale Powerwash is a professional pressure washing company serving Charlotte and surrounding areas
If you live in or near Charlotte and have not hired a professional pressure washing company like Bluewhale Powerwash to clean the exterior of your home, you are missing out. The level of “clean” our professional pressure washers are able to achieve is by far superior than the results you can achieve as a homeowner. While you might save a few hundred dollars by doing the work yourself, there are four main benefits that come with hiring a professional pressuring washing company to clean your home – the use of commercial-grade equipment to yield a deeper clean, leveraging professional-grade chemicals and cleaning solutions instead of brute force that can cause damages, using proper techniques to clean a home safely and time saving.
1. Achieving a deeper clean with commercial-grade pressure washing equipment
There are substantial differences between the type of pressure washing equipment the professionals and homeowners use. Performance and equipment cost are the two main differences. Commercial pressure washing equipment is much more powerful than the type of pressure washers homeowners usually have access to. With our pressure washing equipment, our technicians can easily reach heights of 50 feet or more without having to climb a ladder. With such a reach, no area is left unclean when Bluewhale Powerwash pressure washes a home. Using our commercial-grade equipment, our technicians can efficiently wash roofs, siding, driveways, fences, decks and other exterior surface and get excellent results.
We meet countless homeowners in and near Charlotte who hired our services because they could not clean the second level of their home or that dormer on the second floor, and avoided climbing a 24+ feet ladder using a high pressure wand to get the job done. We completely understand that. The reason Bluewhale Powerwash is in business is to provide a safe and affordable solution for homeowners to have the exterior surfaces of their property cleaned.
Commercial and homeowner-grade pressure washing equipment also differ on cost. Whereas you could buy a top of the line pressure washer from a home improvement store for $1,000, commercial-grade equipment runs in the thousands ($6,000 and more). Commercial pressure washers are able to put out 8 GPM to 12 GPM of water, while most consumer pressure washers cap out at 4GPM. The higher the GPM, the deeper the clean. It’s not so much about the psi (pound of force per square inch), but about the volume of water coming out. To run a commercial pressure washer, you also need a buffer tank with a least 100 gallons capacity, the proper spray gun or wand and surface cleaner for concrete.
Pressure washers are powerful machines that need to be handle with care. Inexperienced users could cause serious damages to their property and to themselves use brute force to clean surfaces with their pressure washers. But pressure washers are only half of the equation when cleaning a home. By themselves, pressure washers won’t be able to efficiently remove organic growth and other stubborn stains. For that, you need cleaning solutions and chemicals the professionals use.
Cleaning solutions and chemicals used by pressure washing company professionals
Using brute force to remove stains (organic or other) will only cause damages to surfaces. While regular water from a pressure washer will remove some surface residue like pollen, it won’t safely remove stains from organic growths like mildew, algae or even cobwebs. Pressure washing companies like Bluewhale Powerwash use chemicals and cleaning solutions only available to professionals to remove the toughest stains on exterior surfaces including siding, wood, concrete, brick, stucco, stones, shingles, metal and aluminum.
With our bio degradable chemicals and cleaning solutions, we are able to treat and remove mildew, algae, pollen and cobwebs, rust, red clay, oil stains, efflorescence and even oxidation from exterior surfaces. When using cleaning solutions and chemicals, using the proper ratios when applying to surfaces is important. Using the wrong cleaning solutions or ratio could have disastrous results.
Power washing techniques
Different surfaces require different cleaning techniques. Many homeowners and inexperienced pressure washers use the wrong technique to wash exterior surfaces causing expensive damage to siding, driveways and decks. As a professional pressure washing company, Bluewhale Powerwash uses several cleaning methods using specific techniques to pressure wash homes in and near Charlotte including soft washing, down streaming and pressure washing.
Soft washing involves applying water, chemicals and cleaning solutions to surfaces using pressure that is less than 300psi (low pressure). This method is safe for all surfaces as long as the proper ratio of chemicals, cleaning solutions and water is used. If the wrong ratios are used, damages to exterior surfaces and vegetation can and will occur. As a professional pressure washing company, we know how to achieve the best cleaning results safely without causing damages to surfaces and vegetation.
We use pressure washing to clean concrete surfaces like driveway, sidewalks and patios, as well as pavers, stone (pool decks) and brick. We typically use varying amount of pressure when pressure washing concrete and other flat work from 2,000 psi or less to 3,500 psi depending on the situation. Bluewhale Powerwash has cleaned hundreds of homes in the Charlotte area and has seen first-hand what bad pressure washing jobs look like. We’ve seen it all from swirl lines on siding that cannot be removed because oxidation was removed from using too much pressure.
Or discolorations on wood surfaces, metal roof and siding from using too much chemicals, circles, lines and etched marks on concrete. All those errors cost thousands of dollars to correct and can easily be avoided by using the proper cleaning techniques. Unless you know what you are doing, hiring a professional pressure washing company like Bluewhale Powerwash will save you time and money in the long run and ensure your property looks great and not worst after the cleaning work is complete.
Time saving
If you have not done so already, you could buy a pressure washer from a home improvement store and pressure wash your home yourself. If you have a smaller home, it might take you half a day or so to complete the work. To clean your driveway with a high pressure wand might take you another half a day or so. But what about if you have a two or maybe three-story home, or a very large ranch? Or again a long driveway?
A pressure washing project can turn into a laborious and frustrating project very quickly that consumes all your free time for a few weekends. And how about the quality of the work once you are done? Did you miss some areas you could not reach, or etched surfaces? Save time and money by hiring the professionals at Bluewhale Powerwash. We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee and we know you will love the results we achieve.
