BLOG The Ultimate Guide to Preparing Your Property for Pressure Washing Jul 24, 2024

Whether you're looking to revamp the exterior of your home or preparing your commercial property for a grand opening, pressure washing can be a highly effective way to spruce up your space. However, proper preparation is key to ensuring that the process goes smoothly and you achieve optimal results. Here is the ultimate guide to preparing your property for pressure washing with J&B In and Outdoor Maintenance.

1. Assess the Areas to be Cleaned Start by taking a walk around your property and carefully assess the areas that need to be pressure washed. This could include your driveway, sidewalks, patio, siding, decks, and fences. Make note of any particularly dirty or stained areas that may require extra attention.

2. Remove Any Obstacles Clear the area of any furniture, decor items, or other obstacles that could get in the way of the pressure washing process. This will ensure that the pressure washing team has easy access to the surfaces that need to be cleaned.

3. Trim Nearby foliage Trim back any plants, bushes, or trees that are in close proximity to the areas being pressure washed. This will prevent leaves, branches, and debris from interfering with the cleaning process and potentially causing damage.

4. Cover Nearby Exterior Elements If you have any delicate exterior elements, such as light fixtures, outdoor furniture, or decorative pieces, consider covering them with a tarp or plastic wrap to protect them from the high-pressure water.

5. Repair Damaged Surfaces Inspect the surfaces to be pressure washed for any signs of damage, such as cracks, holes, or loose paint. Make any necessary repairs to ensure that the pressure washing process does not exacerbate any existing issues.

6. Secure Windows and Doors To prevent water from seeping into your home or building, securely close and seal all windows and doors. It's also a good idea to cover any vents or openings to further protect the interior from water intrusion.

7. Communicate with Your Pressure Washing Team Before the pressure washing team arrives, communicate any specific areas of concern or special instructions that you may have. This will help them tailor their approach to best meet your needs and expectations.

By following these steps and properly preparing your property for pressure washing, you can ensure a successful and efficient cleaning process.
