The treatment process involves the application of our green cleaning products with precision spray equipment for consistent cover onto all affected areas. Trained and licensed technicians with IPAF and CSCS operate system section by section, allowing the appropriate treatment concentration for each tile, slate, or surface. This detailed process provides maximum efficiency with the minimum time your facilities are closed.

After the first treatment with a biocide, we let the treatment take its natural course over a few weeks, softening the growth of the moss slowly without harsh scraping, which may harm your roofing materials. Our follow-up visit guarantees a thorough removal, and if spots prove persistent, we will retreat them free of charge as part of our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Your roofing system intact while getting rid of moss is our top priority, which is the reason we solely use soft washing techniques and not the high-pressure ones. The age-old high-pressure clean may blast water under the tiles, rupture pointing, and result in costly leaks, but our soft technique ensures the integrity of your roofing system. Our uniquely designed delivery systems offer controlled power with adjustable pressures so the cleaning gets accomplished without structurally destabilizing your roofing system.

Pressure washing and power washing utilize high-pressure water jets to eliminate loose paint, mold, grime, dust, mud, and dirt from various surfaces including buildings, vehicles, and concrete structures. Mechanical pressure washer capacity is measured in gallons or liters per minute flow rate, often designed into the pump and not variable. The pressure, expressed in pounds per square inch, pascals, or bar, is designed into the pump but can be varied by adjusting the unloader valve or using specialized nozzle tips. Machines that produce pressures from 750 to 30,000 psi (5 to 200 MPa) or more are available.

The terms pressure washing and power washing are frequently used interchangeably, though some debate exists regarding whether they represent distinct cleaning processes.

An industrial pressure washing surface cleaner features a rotating bar equipped with two to four high-pressure jets that spin when water flows through the system. Many models include a wheeled circular shroud that moves across the surface, shielding operators from water spray and flying debris. This rotating mechanism produces consistent cleaning patterns enabling rapid coverage of flat surfaces. In contrast, budget-friendly household systems generally employ a single fixed orifice without adjustable spray pattern capabilities.

Hydro-jet cleaning is a more powerful form of power washing, employed to remove buildup and debris in tanks and lines.

Areas of use

Pressure washing is utilized by businesses and homeowners to reduce allergens, eliminate safety hazards, and enhance property appearance. Residential pressure washing applications include cleaning gutters, roofs, decks, paved surfaces, siding, cladding, and windows. Commercial pressure washing services target office buildings, churches, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, and other large-scale structures.[3]

Equipment

There are 2 main types of pressure washers. Hot water pressure washers and cold water pressure washers. Each have their own purpose.[4] Hot water pressure washers excel at cleaning flatwork such as concrete driveways and walkways containing grease or oil contamination. These systems prove most effective for parking garages, drive-through facilities, and gas stations. Hot water generation requires integrated burner units that help emulsify grease and oil deposits, accelerating removal processes. Cold water pressure washers are predominantly used for residential cleaning applications including siding, gutters, roofing, decking, and window cleaning.

Surface cleaners are specialized pressure washing attachments designed for uniform cleaning of extensive flat areas. Multiple models attach directly to pressure washer wands, featuring disc-shaped housings that enclose rotating bars with nozzles positioned at each end. During operation, high-pressure water divides into dual streams emerging through end-mounted nozzles, directing jets against target surfaces while inducing bar rotation. Moving the unit across surfaces creates rotating jet patterns cleaning swathes slightly smaller than the circular housing, which contains splashback and reduces operational noise. Larger commercial models incorporate castors for maintaining proper clearance and enabling smooth movement across level surfaces, while compact versions utilize plastic bristle rings for surface contact and stability.[5] The water enters the surface cleaner through a trigger gun at the top of the handle bar, travels through a hose, the swivel, and the bar ending up passing through specifically sized nozzles to spray the surface and remove dirt and grime.

Nozzles

Pressure washer nozzles alter the direction of flow and velocity of the water. Nozzles allow users to reach a greater distance or apply more pressure to a difficult-to-clean surface. Nozzles are color-coded for easy identification, with black nozzles covering the widest degree (65°) and red nozzles covering the least (0°). Great care should be taken when using a 0° nozzle as it can cause injury to both the user and passersby, as well as damage to surfaces. Nozzles are sized based on the flow rate (GPM) and delivery pressure (PSI) of the machine.

High-pressure water jetting

High-pressure water jetting, also called hydrojetting, is a variation in which the pressure can be significantly higher (up to 1,400 bars (20,000 psi)) than consumer models, and is sufficiently hazardous that special precautions are necessary for acceptable safety. High-pressure water jetting also has applications in cutting a wide range of materials with very low heat input or dust production, and can be effective underwater.

Key advantages of pressure washing technology within the oil and gas production sector include minimal fire and explosion risks alongside simplified waste product disposal procedures. Applications encompass cleaning storage tanks, pipeline systems, filtration sieves, process filters, and heat exchange equipment. The technology effectively removes protective coatings, corrosion deposits, mineral scale, deteriorated paint, burned residues, biological fouling, and various insoluble contaminants while preserving substrate integrity when appropriate pressure levels are maintained. These cleaning procedures can be performed in both above-water and submerged underwater environments.
