Pressure washing might look simple — just aim the nozzle and spray, right?
Not exactly. Many homeowners discover the hard way that DIY pressure washing can lead to costly mistakes and surface damage.
Here’s why hiring professionals is almost always the smarter (and cheaper) choice.
1. The Risk of Using Too Much Pressure
Different surfaces require different pressure levels. Too much pressure can:
- Strip paint
- Crack siding
- Damage wood or concrete
- Force water under siding, leading to mold and rot
Professionals know the exact PSI (pressure per square inch) and nozzle type for every surface, ensuring a clean and safe result.
2. Using the Wrong Cleaning Solutions
Household detergents or bleach can cause discoloration or harm plants.
Professional cleaners use biodegradable and surface-safe detergents that break down grime without causing damage.
3. Safety Hazards
Pressure washers are powerful machines that can cause injuries if mishandled.
Professionals are trained to handle equipment safely, preventing property and personal harm.
4. Time and Equipment Costs
Renting a pressure washer might seem cheap, but add in:
- The cost of detergent
- Fuel or electricity
- Time spent learning and cleaning
- Risk of damage
You’ll quickly find that hiring a pro often costs less overall.
