There are tons of home pressure washers available today, so homeowners might wonder if it’s worth hiring a professional or if it’s a job they can tackle on their own. Pressure washing is possible for homeowners to do, but there are a few things they need to consider first.
High Pressure Can Damage Materials – Cement, wood, and other materials can easily be damaged if the pressure is too high or if the water is focused on the same area for too long. It’s also dangerous, as the high pressure can actually cut through skin if it is pointed towards a person.
Potential Injuries on Ladders – For roof cleaning, a ladder is almost always necessary. Yet, pressure washing from a ladder is not safe, as there is a high risk of falling, especially if the ladder becomes wet.
Time Constraints – It can take a while to pressure wash everything. Homeowners who don’t have a lot of time to spend on the job may want to get help so they can focus on everything else they need to do around the home.
