Chuck Richard 14 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 Heres some pictures of a new construction job I finished today. When I got there the masons had been so sloppy you could barely see the beautiful bricks from all the mortar smears and blobs but with the help of Sure Clean 600 detergent and sraper here and there it came out nice. About 6 hours before I took this picture there was no grass,and no mulch at this place. They work quick. I snapped this pic just before I did the final rinse down after waiting for them to move their cutting stations and put in the land scaping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Richard 14 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 Had to do the deck and full basement too. No drains in the basement and alot of dirt and mud. I had to use a shop vac with a sqeegee attachment to rid the floor of water and dirt after cleaning. I took this pic yesterday after I finished the brick.

Chuck Richard 14 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 To top it off I did the driveway, garage, sidewalk, and curb(Chapel Hill requires all public walking areas be free of mud and debris before they will pass the final inspection). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Hughes 18 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 Nice house, Chuck........when are you moving in?? :) Are you going to try to talk the homeowner into sealing the driveway after settlement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 533 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 Now that is a house I would like to live in. Nice work Chuck, you mention no drain in basement, why would they not install a drain or pump in that part of the country? Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Cappa 14 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 Chuck, nice work. Like that sure kleen huh. Do you know who Extreme Clean is? If so, how far are you from him. I was there the other day and if you are close, I will kick myself for not contacting you and meeting you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Richard 14 Report post Posted February 26, 2003 I have never heard of him. What city is he in? As far as the drain goes, your guess is as good as mine. Dosn't make much sense not to have a drain. She dosn't want to seal the drive, but I am going back to put Ready Seal on the deck in 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Cappa 14 Report post Posted February 27, 2003 He's in Angier. Though I met him at his job site. Near where you get off 40 E to 86. Sound familiar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Richard 14 Report post Posted February 27, 2003 If you got off 40 onto 86 you were in my town. Angier is about 45min - 1 hour away. What was he working on off 86? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Cappa 14 Report post Posted February 28, 2003 That's exactly where I was. I wish I would have told you before I came down there. Would have loved to meet you. He wasn't doing PW, he also does light residential construction. He was installing new carpet and electric and heat if I remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Celeste 341 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 It looks like some sort of foamer - anyone have any input on using one of these? We have a small one and it seems like a really good notion - having your chems stick to where you put them instead of rolling down the wall but as a real newbie, don't have any idea of how to use it or with what chemical, although I'm sure any acidic is out.

One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted November 5, 2003 Originally posted by CarolinaProWash What type of foamer is that in the picture and what are you using in it? That is a firefighting foamer, with fire retardant in there. I sent Beth an email as these pics belong in another thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Celeste 341 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 LOL - guess that wouldn't be the average-joe pressure washing equipment, would it? I'm still interested in experiences with a foamer type application though if anyone wants to share :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattia 14 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 Carolina, I have used a foamer that I have purchased at Dultmeier, I feel it does not work any better than your standard application, downstream, upstream and hudson or x-jet... But when you do a demo use your foamer, people go wow when they see a foam and think you get a better cleaning... Cleaner times did a article about the foamer and said it works better and used less chem. but I still think it is about the same... If it worked that good, everything would be put on with a foamer Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
