When it comes to maintaining your home’s curb appeal, there is a common knowledge gap: many homeowners believe that “more pressure equals a better clean”.
It’s an easy mistake to make—watching a high-powered jet of water blast away dirt can be satisfying.
However, using the wrong technique can lead to significant damage from pressure washing, turning a simple maintenance task into a costly repair project.
If you are looking for pressure washing services in Nanaimo, it is crucial to understand the difference between a high-pressure blast and the professional “soft wash” approach.
Standard high-pressure systems, often reaching 2,500 psi or more, are powerful tools that must be handled with extreme care.
When used incorrectly on delicate surfaces like your roof or siding, the results can be catastrophic:
• High-pressure water can easily strip paint, stain, or varnish right off your home’s exterior.
• Water can be forced behind your siding and under shingles, leading to trapped moisture, rot, and mold growth inside your walls.
• Excessive force can literally blow gutter seams and joints apart, causing leaks that lead to foundation damage.
• Using high pressure on shingles can blast away the protective granules, significantly shortening the lifespan of your roof.
Soft wash exterior house cleaning is the industry standard for safely deep-cleaning delicate surfaces.
Instead of relying on brute force, this method uses specialized, biodegradable cleaning solutions combined with a gentle, low-pressure rinse.
While high pressure only removes stains at the surface level, soft washing “digs deep” into the textures and grooves of your siding or roof. This technique kills the organic “roots” (rhizoids) of moss, algae, and lichen, ensuring your property stays clean up to seven times longer than traditional pressure washing.
