Pressure Washing Services in Cumming, GA

Pressure washing, also known as power washing, is an extremely useful service for both residential and commercial properties in Cumming, Georgia. Using pressurized water allows for thorough cleaning and removal of dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other debris from surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, decks, houses, buildings, and more. As a trusted pressure washing company in Cumming GA, we provide customized services to help restore and maintain properties.

Benefits of Pressure Washing

Pressure washing utilizes specialized equipment that shoots pressurized water out of a wand or nozzle. The pressure, which can range from 1500 to 4000 PSI, allows the water to dig into and dislodge messes that normal cleaning cannot. With the right nozzle, it can cleanly cut through layers of buildup.

Compared to manual scrubbing, pressure washing is far more efficient and effective. It saves hours of labor and gets surfaces cleaner than they have been in years. The pressurized spray can reach cracks, crevices, uneven terrain, high stories, and other hard-to-reach areas.

Beyond just saving time and effort, pressure washing provides health and safety benefits as well. Removing mold, mildew, moss, algae, pollen, dust mites, grease, vehicle fluids, pet waste, rodent droppings, and more eliminates sources of bacteria, allergens, irritants, and contaminants. It is practically a whole-property sanitization process.

For businesses, a fresh, clean appearance attracts more customers and makes a great impression. Stopping deterioration can also prevent costly repairs down the road.

- Pre-soak extremely dirty areas 15-30 minutes beforehand
Pressure Wash

- Adjust nozzle distance and angle as needed
- Apply cleaning agents to stubborn areas during 2nd pass
Post Wash Touch-ups

Difference Between Pressure Washing and Soft Washing

While often used synonymously, pressure washing and soft washing refer to different cleaning methods:

Pressure Washing utilizes very high PSI levels (1500+ PSI) and hot water to essentially “power scrub” surfaces using the brute force of the pressurized spray. This works well for extremely dirty concrete, sturdy structures, industrial equipment, and metal surfaces. Pressure washing excels at general grime removal.

Soft Washing uses low PSI around 400-800 PSI and cold or warm water. Cleaning relies more on applying and rinsing specialized detergents and cleaning agents. The lower pressure makes soft washing ideal for delicate surfaces like roof shingles, wood siding, windows, canvas awnings, foliage, etc. It effectively eliminates mold, mildew, moss, oils, rust stains, and other niche contaminants.

As you can see, soft washing depends greatly on having the right formulations and knowing how to apply them correctly. It is as much an art as a science. Here at our pressure washing company, we use eco-friendly detergents designed specifically for different cleaning challenges. We know which ones work best for house washing vs concrete cleaning vs deck brightening and so forth.

Rest assured we always start with the gentlest method first before bringing in the big pressure washing guns. This balanced “one-two punch” allows us to tackle even the most seemingly impossible cleaning projects.

Eco-Friendly Pressure Washing

While incredibly useful, pressure washing does involve spraying a high volume of water at a property. Done improperly, this can overload storm drains or contaminate ground soil. We adhere to strict EPA regulations concerning containment and disposal of pressure wash runoff.

When possible, we use hot water pressure washing units with built-in containment tanks to recycle water onsite. For chemicals and detergents, we select the most environmentally-responsible options certified for safe usage. Your property gets an effective deep clean without any lingering chemical residue or environmental impact. It is the best of both worlds.
