House Washing in Port Moody: Soft Wash vs Pressure Wash

Protect Your Home's Siding with the Right Cleaning Technique

Many Port Moody homeowners think that high pressure is the only way to get a clean house exterior. However, using too much pressure on vinyl, stucco, or cedar siding can lead to costly damage. Soft washing is the professional alternative that uses specialized soaps and low pressure to safely kill algae and remove grime at the source.

House Washing in Port Moody: Soft Wash vs Pressure Wash

The Dangers of High Pressure

•
Water Intrusion: High pressure can force water behind siding, leading to mold and rot.
•
Surface Damage: It can chip paint, etch wood, and crack vinyl siding.
•
Incomplete Clean: Pressure alone doesn't kill organic growth, especially when dealing with clogged gutters that overflow onto siding.
•
Window Seal Failure: High pressure can blow out the seals on your double-pane windows.
