Do you supply your own water?
There is a common misconception that the water from outdoor spigots is expensive, but that isn’t true. Most often, 1,000 gallons of water costs from $4-$5, and the average residential job uses 100-400 gallons of water. For this reason, we usually encourage homeowners to let us hook up to their water supply, as it’s more economical. However, we are able to supply our own water for residential and commercial jobs for an added fee.
What chemicals are used in the cleaning solution?
We use a mix of water, dish soap, and a small amount of diluted liquid chlorine. The liquid chlorine kills mold and other germs, preventing them from growing back for longer periods of time. Using liquid chlorine helps us accomplish a soft wash, which is safer for siding, shingles, windows, etc
