Have You Ever Heard This
PRESSURE PACKED replied to PRESSURE PACKED's question in Residential Pressure Washing
When I Say Run-off I Mean The Mold That Sticks To The Walls, Driveway Etc. There Is A Film Of Mold That Needs To Be Rinsed Off. -
CAN ANYONE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TELL ME IF THIS IS TRUE 1. DO YOU LOSE H2O PRESSURE AND OR VOLUME WHEN YOUR PRESSURE CLEANERS HOSE IS ATTACHED TO A HOSE REEL WITH PLUMBING THAT INCLUDES AN L ATTACHMENT.... ie, THIS IS WHERE THE CONNECTION MEETS THE HOSE. SOMEONE TOLD ME THIS IS TRUE AND WHAT THEY DO TO NOT LOSE PRESSURE IS THE HOSE REEL IS ONLY USED TO "REEL" UP THE HOSE, THEN THEY DISCONNECT IT AND ATTACH DIRECTLY TO PRESSURE CLEANER. 2. ALSO DOES ANYONE USE A HOSE TENSIONER OR ANYTHING THAT I MIGHT NOT KNOW OF TO STOP THE HOSE FROM GRETTING TANGLED, THIS HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I DONT USE THE ENTIRE HOSE.IE A SMALL DRIVEWAY THANKS IN ADVANCE PAUL

New Guy That Has Done His Homework Needs Your Advice
PRESSURE PACKED replied to SQUEEKY's topic in Business Topics & Tips
This Site Is Free..everthing You Could Ever Need Is Here. It Has Already Been Asked If Not Ask It.. If You Really Want To Spend The Money, Send Me The 50 Bucks..lol.

Paver Cleaning and Sealing
PRESSURE PACKED replied to Dan Stapleton's question in Residential Pressure Washing
as for pricing 50 cents per square foot is a start. this is based off advanced surfaces sealer, each 5 gallon gets me 750 square feet. 78.00 dollars is the cost per 5 gallons. the way i beak it down is 10 cwnts to p-wash 20 cents per coat of sealer.i ALWAYS do two coats accept on pool decks it is unnecacary and slippery if they have small children..and i spray it with a hudson or chapin sprayer. it might not be the "best" way but i like to get in and out. there are to many rainy days to be taking aaaalllll day to seal a driveway by rolling it. if you seal then it rains you are fine. refer to washaways advice when it rains before you seal. also sanding is more money roughly 50.00 per 500 square foot -
Paver Cleaning and Sealing
PRESSURE PACKED replied to Dan Stapleton's question in Residential Pressure Washing
not always. i am assuming don is talking about unsealed pavers her. if he is this is simply residue or some type of mortar/calcium buildup. a simple light degreaser can assist with this, i use a company called ices. in ft lauderdale. the chem is called tnt -

Am I using the surface cleaner the right way ?
PRESSURE PACKED replied to Tom DeFrancesco's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Its A Good Idea Keep The Area Your Cleaninhg Wet, So When You Rinse The Residue Does Not "stick"..i Do An Area At A Time Then Go Back And Rinse..its Also Helps To "tip" The Surface Cleaner Every Once In A While To Create More H20 So It Stays Wetter Longer,,no Pun Intended. I Assume You Have A Ball Valve. A Must When Using A Surface Cleaner -

I Want To Start By Saying I Got My Brother In Law In The Biz 6 Months Ago And I Was Working With Him A Couple Of Days Ago And He Still Did Not Realize That If You Have A Ball Valve At The End Of Your Hose You Can Pressurize It And Use It To Do A "final Sweep"..i Do This Alot Just Making Sure Others Knew About It.

If They Are Leased Go In Talk To The Leasing Agent...if They Are Owned Find The Onsite Property Management Co,or By Talking With The Owners Of The Lawn Cutting Co. The Big Lawn Companies Are Your Second Best Friend..if They Dont Do Pwing Talk To The Owner In Person So He Knows You Dont Landscape Or Mow The Lawns..ask For Some Contact Info..in Exchane A Connection On Your End Or Percentage Of The Bill...you Get The Idea

Interesting point about Add-on services...
PRESSURE PACKED replied to Camelot's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Its A Good Idea, I Do That Also, I Tell People Its Free...but In My Head Its Included...shhh Dont Tell. In Ads I Say That I Will Do A Free Housewash With Any Roof Cleaning, On The Same Ad I Have A Coupon That Says Free Driveway With Any Roof Cleaning. Small Print They Obviously Cant Be Combined,,the Reason I Actually Do This Is To Show The Customers My Services Rather Than A Long List Of...... Walkways Driveways Housewashes Etc. IN REALITY DOING THE WHOLE HOUSE IS EASIER BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO A ROOF THE WALLS AND DRIVEWAY NEED TO BE CLEANED ANYWAY...BY TELLING THE CUSTOMER THEY WILL GET ONE OF THESE FOR FREE USUALLY THEY DONT EVEN SHOP AROUND.. -
If The Hole Is Near The End Of The Hose Go To A Hose Manufacter.. Near My House There Is A Place Called Mako Hose And Rubber, They Have Quick Connects Cut The Hose Perfectly, Or Just Use The Qick Fix Thats Looks Like It Would Work
