The Dangers Of DIY Pressure Washing
There are countless articles and blogs about how to pressure wash your own outdoor surfaces, but they seldom tell of the risk of it. While it may seem like a frugal and easy DIY project, experts agree that you should leave it to the professionals.
The main factor of this cleaning method, the high-pressure spray, is dangerous for the average user. For example, the average psi level for driveway washing is around 3,000 psi. One might just glance over that number as technical jargon that just means it sprays really hard, but let's break that down.
Psi stands for "pounds per square inch." That means if you spray your sandaled foot on accident, you'll be tearing away your flesh with 3,000 pounds of pressure on that one inch of it. It would be debilitating on your foot, but can you imagine your face or one of your eyes? And this doesn't even account for chemicals and soaps often needed in the pressure washing process, or even the risk of electric shock due to improper use.
Keep your DIY projects within a safe range, and leave pressure washing projects, like driveway washing, to the pros at G&Y General Wash Services Corp..
How Does Pressure Washing Work?
Pressure washing is a method of cleaning that involves spraying a high-pressure stream of water onto various outdoor surfaces. This method works wonders as it can wash away practically any substance from any sturdy outdoor surface. Oil, mold, mud, gum... none of them stand a chance when it comes to a pressure washer.
Pressure washing services can include varying psi levels, water temperatures, and chemicals and soaps to address each project individually. Without the perfect mix of these variations, your surface may be at risk of damage, or you may not be satisfied afterward. A knowledgable professional, like at G&Y General Wash Services Corp., will have this information dedicated to memory, ready for anything that may come their way. That means you never have to worry about damage or unsatisfactory results when you come to us with your pressure washing needs.
