Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions - Answered By Pinnacle Exterior Solutions
At Pinnacle Exterior Solutions, we firmly believe that being able to hold the title of premier resource for pressure washing in Arroyo Grande also requires being a source of useful industry information. Glance over some FAQs and then contact us with any questions you may have or to schedule your estimate or service.
What’s The Difference Between Soft Washing And Pressure Washing?
Soft washing is a technique of pressure washing that uses a low-pressure spray and a more potent mix of cleaning solutions than regular pressure washing. This allows our pressure washers to shower a surface area with a powerful cleaning foam. This foamy mixture of water and cleaning solutions loosens and breaks apart contaminants, allowing them to be gently rinsed away. Soft washing is perfect for surface areas such as roofs and house sidings because, unlike regular pressure washing, it doesn't run the risk of severe damage caused by force.
So Those Black Streaks On My Roof Aren’t Just Dirt?
Dirt may be part of the problem, but that's not the main cause. When you see black streaks on roofs, you're noticing a build-up of blue-green algae on the roof and mold. These black streaks are common in wetlands and are an inconvenience for many homeowners living in humid environments. Fortunately, our pressure washers can effectively remove mold, mildew, dirt, and grime from your property with our roof cleaning service.
Why Do I Need To Worry About Cleaning My Solar Panels?
Although you might not notice it, your solar panels can get dirty! Many external influences can make a panel grimey, including dust and road grime, salt spray, and bird or bat droppings to name a few. A photovoltaic (PV) system performs best with completely unobstructed access to the sun’s rays for most or all of the day. Even something as seemingly inconsequential as a residue layer can affect the performance of your panels, while bigger spots and obstructions can have a much greater impact that is disproportionate to their size.
How Often Should I Wash My Home’s Exterior?
At Pinnacle Exterior Solutions, we’ll help you determine the best options for keeping your house looking great year-round based on your individual needs. For most properties that we service, semi-annual house washing keeps invasive organisms like algae and moss at bay. However, it’s safe to have house washing performed more often; for instance, following a weather event or to prepare for a big gathering at your home. Your pressure washing expert will discuss your individual needs and arrange a personalized service plan that works best for you.
