How Does Power Washing<\/a> Damage Your Home? – <\/strong>While you may want to get your home\u2019s exterior clean and looking like new, you understandably don\u2019t want to damage your siding or surrounding landscape. This is why you should hire professionals who specialize in soft washing<\/a>, a gentler approach to power washing that isn\u2019t as risky and that\u2019s safe on soft surfaces.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how traditional power washing<\/a> can damage your home, and why it should be handled by an expert who can do it the proper way.<\/p>\n

Power washing can\u2026<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Damage Siding or Knock it Loose <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your siding doesn\u2019t hold up well when power washed incorrectly, as it\u2019s not completely waterproof. When done by someone who is inexperienced, power washing can damage vinyl siding or make it come loose. The result? Expensive, unnecessary repairs on your house. Did you know even brick can be damaged? That\u2019s because high-pressure water can blast away mortar that\u2019s decades old.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Allow Water to Get Into Your Walls <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Water can get into and behind your walls when your house is pressure washed incorrectly. Commercial pressure washers<\/a> typically use pressures between 1500 psi and 3300 psi. However, when you launch water with that much pressure, it easily gets behind asphalt, wood — even concrete.<\/p>\n

Got a wood frame home with wood siding? There is a high chance that water can get into the siding, then soak through flooring, wall cavities, wiring, plaster and insulation.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cause Window Damage <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The seals around your windows may leak, and then result in rotting of your wood frames. Those powerful blasts of water can break the double pane, which can result in fog between both layers of glass. If you have screens, those can be shredded and destroyed.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remove Paint <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Too much pressure chips away at your paint, which is a safety issue if your home has lead paint. Those paint chips can get into the soil or play areas where kids can then play with it and eat it.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Allow Water to Get Into Your House or Attic <\/strong><\/h2>\n

When using a powerful pressure washer on your home, this forces water through window and door seals. Then, that water can soak your hardwood floors, carpet and furniture. You may see water damage in your attic too because water can get underneath your shingles.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that pressure washing is an extremely effective way of cleaning the exterior of your house. But if done improperly by yourself or an inexperienced company, it can result in costly disasters. You may want to save money by renting a power washer for a DIY job, but it\u2019s likely you could do far more costly damage on your own than if you just hired a professional in the first place.<\/p>\n
