Power Washing and Roof Cleaning Forum

Although Ed doesn't know it but his truck(s) provided a good lead for us. The other day I got a call asking us to come out a provide a quote for roof cleaning. When I got to this large lake front property the homeowner told me he didn't even know the roof could be cleaned until he happened to see one of Ed's tru...

Late last season and in March and April of this year we used our hot water trailer but last week I decided to redo it. We pulled all the equipment off of it and painted the chassis(turned in on it's side with my engine hoist). All boards were sanded and painted (battle ship grey for now). The boards will ult...

Wondering if there are any recent or new roof cleaning mixes for metal that will keep me off the roof and no need to scrub !

We are a condominium complex consisting of 3 clusters of buildings located in Pantops. The buildings are constructed in such a manner that some only receive short periods of sunlight.

This was in another thread,.but it wasn't about surface cleaners and didn't want to muddy the waters with ongoing chat about it. (Regarding Mikes video.) Hey Mike,..what GPM is your washer? I ask because I see you use the Whisper Wash the same as I do. I run 8 GPM machine and can't keep the machine on the...

This is a house I am bidding for a house wash. No way my 12 volt pump will reach anywhere close to that peak. Will I need a lift for this? I'm standing in the neighbors driveway to take the photo. Barely any safe place for a ladder on the slope. Would a booster pump spray that far? Pressure washer?

We switched to a K7.3 on our 3500 psi 8gpm water dragon. I have 1/4" hose barb to the water tank for the bypass. At this time the feed line is the old 3/8" ID that came with the machine when it had the spring valve on it. It settled down a lot, but now I cannot feather the wand like I could with a spring bypass valv...

Here's a little demo area we are doing tonight for a property owner we do work for. They are flying in from California tomorrow morning and it was kind of a rush thing. The rain didn't stop us but we are glad to be done. -- Edited by John Aloisio on Tuesday 3rd of May 2016 03:13:18 AM

We were asked to go out and clean a family plot at a city Cemetery in Tallahassee Florida. While there, we noticed that some of the soldiers Tim stones were in pretty bad condition and needed cleaning. I found a number for the cemetery manager, called him, and got the OK to volunteer our services. So tod...

My injector is filling my chem tank when I'm bypassing it. This usually means it's bad and usually not drawing. When I cut bypass off to inject it's working. Almost like it needs a check valve

I know that market prices vary, as well as design setup, full, 3/4, 1/2 and so on for a truck wrap. But I am just trying to get a basic idea of the cost associated with wrapping a full size truck, such as a F150, Dodge Ram etc. My thought was 3/4 to full wrap to include the hood and tailgate as well. I have just a c...
