What is Pressure Washing
You may hear the terms “pressure washing” and “power washing” used interchangeably. They are similar, but have some differences that are important for you to understand when determining the service you need to make your home clean and sparkle. Pressure washing forcefully hits the surface being cleaned with water spray that is normal temperature, whereas power washing uses hot water. Pressure washing uses high pressure to remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, bird droppings, stains, and grime from outdoor surfaces.
Benefits of Pressure Washing
There are benefits of using pressure washing for your home and other exterior elements like patios, decks, and driveways. When it is done correctly, pressure washing is incredibly beneficial. It’s important to note that pressure washing is best left to professionals instead of doing it yourself because using pressurized water can be damaging to your home if you aren’t knowledgeable and experienced with the process.
Benefits of pressure washing include:
- Improving the curb appeal of your home because it looks clean, not dirty
- Maintaining the state of your home and preventing bigger problems that can occur in the future
- Reducing the cost of repairs on the outside of your home
- Removing mold and mildew that can damage your home and the health of your family
- Preparing the home’s surfaces to be repainted
What Surfaces can be Pressure Washed
Many different surfaces can be improved with pressure washing. Here are just a few:
- Gutters
- Roofs
- Decks
- Patios
- Sidewalks
- Driveways
- Cladding
- Brick
- Concrete
Over time, decks and patio surfaces can have a buildup of algae, mold, and mildew, especially if they are in shade. Pressure washing removes these unsightly stains from decks made of wood or patios and other hardscapes made of concrete, stone, or pavers.
Driveways are exposed to grease and oil that can affect your home’s curb appeal negatively. Asphalt shingle roofing can become damaged by algae and mold that also impacts the home’s curb appeal. Pressure washing is the answer to these woes. And, it is effective for cleaning a variety of siding materials such as fiber cement, vinyl, wood, and aluminum.
What is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing is the use of spraying water under high pressure and normal temperature to remove loose paint, mold, algae, grime, dust, mud, chewing gum and dirt from surfaces and objects like buildings, fences, masonry, and concrete or asphalt surfaces like driveways or patios.
Why Do You Need Pressure Washing Services In Raleigh?
It is recommended to pressure wash the exterior surfaces of a home once a year. Pressure washing keeps the painted surfaces free of mold, mildew, dirt, pollen, and debris. Unfortunately, mold, mildew, and dirt on a house can cause paint damage because it speeds up the breakdown of the paint that is on the exterior of your house. In addition, it’s a great idea to have your Raleigh home’s exterior pressure washed yearly in the late spring to prepare for the hotter but less pollen-filled summer. Not only does this help keep the exterior of your home sealed, but it also elevates the appearance of the exterior of your home during the summer months when people spend most of their time outdoors.
Another great reason to pressure wash your home in Raleigh is if you are preparing to sell your home. Similar to Raleigh exterior painting, pressure washing increases the curb appeal of your home and is beneficial when it comes to receiving an estimate for your home. Not only does a cleaner home look years newer than an old and dirty home, but when combined with exterior painting, your home can look brand new.

How Often Do Most Surfaces Need to be Pressure Washed?
We recommend pressure washing residential properties at least once a year. Whether that be you homes, patio, deck, driveway, sidewalk, fences, or pool areas, a yearly pressure wash will not only elevate the look of your home, but will prevent long-term damage from build up of mold, mildew, and dirt.
Is Power Washing Safe?
Yes, pressure washing the surfaces around your home is safe and will not cause damage. Power washing is often referred to as the heavy-duty option, while pressure washing is referred to as the safer for surfaces option.
The commercial bleach solution used during pressure washing to wash the surfaces of your home, such as your driveway, sidewalk, patio, deck, and more will not cause harm to plants, grass, foliage, and pets.
Can I Do the Pressure Washing on My Own?
We do not recommend pressure washing your home surfaces on your own. There are certain areas of your home that are best suited for power washing, and there are other areas best suited for pressure washing. If you don’t know what you are doing, you can ultimately cause damage to your home. In addition, if not used appropriately, pressure washing machines can be dangerous to your own safety. We recommend hiring a trusted company like CLH Painting to service your home’s pressure washing needs.
