Cleaning Mold/Mildew From Vinyl Siding - Indianapolis, Indiana Power Wash Company

2011-04-19T21:01:00.007-04:00

Pressure washing your home’s vinyl siding is one of the best ways to restore its original luster. If you are looking for the biggest bang for your buck and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and invest a little sweat equity, then keep reading!

Choose your weapons wisely! The proper chemicals, combined with the right pressure and a few simple techniques are the best tools to wash the grime and mold from your vinyl siding. When performed properly you can really turn your home’s exterior from drab to fab!

Choosing the right solvent/chemical cleaners can be a daunting task. There are mainly two types of dirtiness that you will be fighting. The first thing you are going to be up against is dirt and grime, the second being mold and mildew. Take a close look at the siding to identify the presence of mold or mildew. If there is mold or mildew present on your vinyl siding, then a fungicidal component to the solvent will be necessary. De-greaser alone will not do the job thoroughly. Check your local hardware store for the right solvent.

The pre-soak is the key to not having to scrub. After you have chosen your solvent, you will have to apply it to the vinyl siding. The best way to do this is to use a pressure washer with a solvent mixing capability. Most pressure washers that you can rent or buy at the hardware store have this feature included. You can also use a pump sprayer to apply the solvent. Just make sure to read the directions on the solvent packaging carefully before attempting to apply chemicals to your home’s siding.

Prevent streaking, start from the bottom and work your way up! Starting from the bottom will help prevent streaking as the solvent will drip downwards and have a tendency dry quickly, especially in direct sunlight, or if the solvent is not kept damp. It is very important to keep the area where the soap has been applied damp using a broad coverage (wide) nozzle. Work your way up vertically instead of side to side. The trick here is to use enough water to keep the entire work area damp without actually rinsing the solvent away. Once you have reached the top follow up with a rinse of the entire work area vertically from the top down to make sure none of the remaining contaminants that have dripped down from the earlier work can dry and re-deposit on the clean areas.

1) Remove all objects near the house and work area. Seal off all exterior electrical devices such as lamps and outdoor power outlets using plastic sheeting and duct tape. Trim shrubs and plants back away from the house to prevent any chemicals from drying on foliage.

2) Start out with a small inconspicuous area around 5′ by 5′ square. This will help you to determine the amount of work that will be required to actually remove the dirt and mildew. This will also help you calibrate your pressure/power washer to the most effective pressure settings and nozzle choice.

Remember! We don’t want to blow the siding off the house, we just want to “scrape” the contaminants away on a sheet of water!

3) Apply the chemical solvent using a pressure washer and let it soak for the manufacturer’s recommended time.

4) Rinse the solvent at the recommended time interval at around 1200 psi with a 40 degree nozzle. Use a side to side sweeping motion being careful not to aim upwards and risk getting moisture behind the siding. Never pull the trigger on the power washer when aiming at the house as the initial high pressure pulse can crack and severely damage the vinyl siding. If a higher pressure is required to lift the contaminants away from the siding slowly increase the pressure taking care not damage the vinyl. When attempting to calibrate your pressure washer for the most effective power keep in mind that as you hold the nozzle closer to the siding, more of the pressure is focused on a smaller area. It is very important to keep a consistent 12 inches away from the surface at all times. Keeping this consistent distance will produce nice even results and lower the risk of damage.

5) Repeat steps 1-4 until you reach the top of the house while being sure to keep the entire vertical work area damp to prevent streaking and redepositing of contaminants and solution. By now you should have approximately a five foot wide column of clean siding all the way to the top of the house.

6) Follow up with a final rinse of the entire vertical work area working from the top to the bottom. Feel free the increase the size of the work area larger than 5′x5′ at a time as you become more confident, just don’t bite off more than you can chew! The important thing is to work in vertical “chunks” to prevent soap and contaminants from drying and redepositing on clean areas, as this will result in streaking.

If you don't want to go to the trouble to do this type of work yourself, contact a professional pressure cleaning contractor. Our company specializes in exterior house washing and can safely and effectively remove mold and mildew from your vinyl siding. We also offer hot wax treatments which add longevity between cleanings.

We service all of central Indiana - Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Geist, Zionsville. Free estimates for all of our services.

Power Washing/Pressure Cleaning Vinyl Siding Professionally - Indiana Pressure Wash Company

2011-04-19T20:14:00.007-04:00

Before pressure washers were invented and available to the general public, cleaning the exterior of a house was very labor intensive. The walls of the home had to be scrubbed from ladders that created unsafe conditions for individuals not experienced in the construction industry & physically fit to work in outdoor conditions.

Well fortunately for us, times have changed and exterior house cleaning is actually pretty simple if you have the right pressure washing equipment and know-how to do the job right. Other factors that make things easier is the invention of vinyl siding which is much easier to clean than brick, block, wood and stucco houses.

So let's talk about cleaning vinyl siding since it is so popular on today's homes. The first step to doing a top quality power washing job is to use the right pressure washer and the right cleaners for vinyl siding. Remember to only use solvents that are approved for pressure washer use.

Next, apply the cleaner under low pressure with smooth, overlapping strokes. To prevent streaking, start from the bottom and work your way up. Pressure washing is a lot like painting. If you get "hose happy" and randomly spray everything, you're bound to miss a spot. Don't try to do too big of an area at once and let the cleaner sit long enough to do its' job.

Now rinse away the cleaner but don't get to close. Pressure washers work under high pressure and you wouldn't want to damage anything. Keep the tip of the wand a couple of feet from the wall & gradually move closer only if needed, but with caution.

And lastly, be careful not to spray water directly at the eaves, gable vents and especially light fixtures and outlets. You should also be careful around windows and doors. High pressure can knock out or bust old or loose window panes. Make sure to rinse the cleaners thoroughly and never point the wand at yourself or anyone else.

If this seems too difficult, it may be in your best interest to contact an Indianapolis power washing contractor who specializes in exterior house washing.

Selling Your Home? Pressure Washing Your Indiana Home Can Make All The Difference...

2009-03-10T21:56:00.007-04:00

Your home portrays an image of you and your family. Keeping a clean, well-kept home is an important part of presenting who you are to your friends and neighbors. Pressure washing your home ensures you don't bring down the value of the neighborhood with an unkept house.

Your home takes a beating. Day in and day out it sits there in rain, sun, snow and sleet. While it keeps you and your family warm, dry and clean - your home is endlessly exposed to the elements and all the dirt that comes with it.

The main culprits to the deterioration of your home's exterior? Mold and mildew. Soap, water, a sponge and elbow grease aren't enough to rid your house of this type of grime. The only way to keep your home looking pristine is by contacting a professional pressure washing company.

Power washing your Indianapolis home actually increases its value. The better your house looks on the outside, the more appeal it will have when it comes time to sell. If your house, roof, deck and sidewalks are regularly cleaned by an Indiana power washing contractor, they will not only look good, they'll also be in good condition - meaning buyers are going to pay more for it.

2009-02-25T12:44:00.005-05:00

The exterior of your home is a reflection of you. It's also a probable indicator of what the interior of your home is like. Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, and Westfield real estate agents all know that a home's exterior appearance is important to its resale value. A clean and sparkling exterior makes your home aesthetically pleasing and will add value to your home when you are listing it for sale.

Adding Wax To Vinyl Siding - Indianapolis Power Washing

2009-02-22T16:44:00.008-05:00

Cleaning vinyl siding is the easiest way to improve the look and curb appeal of your home. Over time, dirt build-up and grime accumulates on the vinyl's surface. This happens gradually and without you even knowing it. Once your home has been professionally washed by a pressure cleaning contractor, ask them to apply a hot wax treatment to your vinyl siding.

Applying wax to your vinyl siding will not only add luster and shine, but will also help in reducing the frequency of mold and mildew from developing. While wax won't totally prevent mold and mildew from developing, especially in areas where the siding is not regularly exposed to sunlight, it will extend the vinyl's life and prevent un-needed oxidation.

Hydroblast Pressure Cleaning is located in Indianapolis, Indiana and provides wax treatments as an upgrade with exterior house washes. If you live in Noblesville, Carmel, or Fishers, contact our company today for a free estimate or to schedule your next cleaning project.

Indiana Pressure Washing Company - Cleaning Your Vinyl Siding

2009-02-06T19:06:00.007-05:00

Many Indiana residents choose vinyl siding for the exterior of their homes because it is both inexpensive and durable. However, like any siding that is exposed to the elements, vinyl siding does need to be power washed every couple of years to remove dirt and grime, and to prevent mold and mildew from forming, especially in areas not regularly exposed to the sun.

If you live in the Indianapolis area, contact Hydroblast Pressure Cleaning to restore and renew the appearance of your vinyl siding.

Benefits Of Power Washing And Pressure Washing For Indiana Residents

2009-02-06T11:51:00.004-05:00

It is very easy for Indianapolis residents to recognize the many benefits associated with pressure washing. While power washing remains the most cost-effective method of restoring and maintaining a property over time, Indiana homeowners are also beginning to see that power washing can add instant curb appeal and increase property value to their homes.

While property owners are becoming increasingly aware that having a clean building and property has an impact on customer perceptions, they are also savvy enough to recognize that not all pressure washing companies are alike. Whether it is due to a lack of experience, proper training, product knowledge, or commitment, the unfortunate truth is too many companies do a disservice to the industry and their customers by not delivering the results they expect and deserve.

Hydroblast Pressure Cleaning continues to focus on what we do best - delivering professional pressure cleaning services that ensure top quality results, unparalleled customer satisfaction, and repeat business from all of our customers. We understand that property owners simply won't tolerate poor quality, inadequate results, or recurring problems from any company. We strive for perfection on every job and strive to exceed customer expectations, every time.

Indiana Power Washing Company - Add Instant Curb Appeal To Your Home!

2009-01-12T14:00:00.008-05:00

When Indiana homeowners think of ways to improve the appearance of their homes, they often think of getting services such as lawn maintenance, gutter cleaning, window washing, and in-home cleaning. While many of these services are necessary, they often fail to consider their vinyl siding or concrete driveway and walkways. Simply put, there are many benefits to hiring a professional power washing contractor to add curb appeal to your home.

Four Benefits Of Pressure Cleaning:

1. It is not as expensive as replacing the materials outright. Does your vinyl siding appear dirty and in need of replacement? Does your wood deck look like it needs to be restained? Many homeowners believe that when anything on their home begins to deteriorate that it is automatically time to replace it. Power washing can restore these items to a like-new appearance at only a fraction of the cost of replacing them.

2. Pressure cleaning removes harmful mold and mildew. Because we live in a changing climate, mold and mildew form on the exterior of homes very easily, especially in areas that are shaded from the sun. Pressure cleaning removes mold and mildew very easily and creates a healthy living environment for your family and pets.

3. Low pressure roof cleaning extends the life of shingles. Replacing a roof on any home is very costly, and the build-up of algae causes the shingles to be replaced much quicker than is needed. A low pressure roof cleaning will remove the black streaks (which is is actually algae) and protect and extend the life of the shingles.

4. Power washing will help your home become more energy efficient. Due to the rising cost of energy, having a properly insulated home is very important. Believe it or not, pressure washing can aid in this. That is because power washing removes the pollutants that can affect energy efficiency to a home's roof and siding.

In some instances, doing household projects can save time and money. However, when it comes to important home maintenance such as pressure cleaning, it is much more cost efficient to hire a professional. An experienced company will save you time and money and the results will be much better. Even better, you won't risk injuring yourself or damaging your property.

If you live in the Indianapolis area, contact Hydroblast Pressure Cleaning for all of your exterior cleaning needs. We specialize in exterior house washing, concrete cleaning, brick/mortar cleaning, and wood restoration. We provide free estimates and our work is always guaranteed.

Pressure Cleaning Can Improve The Health Of Indiana Residents

2009-01-10T11:16:00.008-05:00

Several Ways Pressure Cleaning Can Improve Your Health:

1. Pressure washing your home safely removes hazardous mold and mildew that could work it's way into your lungs causing mild to major health concerns.
2. Pressure washing rinses excessive pollen deposits from your home, walkways or driveway and reduces exposure to allergens, making your time outdoors more enjoyable.
3. Pressure washing can reduce the need to purchase over the counter or prescription allergy medicines; it removes the need to purchase cough, cold and sinus medications as well as asthma related medications by removing many of the sources that can lead to these conditions.
4. A clean home environment can have a relaxing and satisfying effect on the emotions reducing stress, boosting confidence levels and increasing pride.
5. Contacting a professional company saves you the time, cost and stress of renting or purchasing equipment, cleaners and supplies and dedicating an entire day (or more) to cleaning your home yourself.

The Truth About Pressure Washing : It's Not About The Pressure

2009-01-07T10:57:00.003-05:00

Time and time again, Indianapolis residents and "Weekend Only" companies are creating damage with the use of a pressure washer. A lot of people think that they can refinish their deck by blasting away the old stain off their cedar deck. An hour later, they are left with deep gouges to the wood, and a heavily damaged $8,000 deck.

When it comes to cleaning any wood surface, the combination of low pressure along with the proper chemicals will successfully remove most oil-based deck stains. There is no need to "blast" away dirt and faded stain off a wood deck. By using a low pressure application of a commercial grade deck stripper, followed by a 600-800 PSI rinse, these stains melt from the wood's surface.

Indianapolis homeowners typically use a power washer to wash their vinyl siding or to remove stains from their concrete driveways. But many times, they are using improper and unsafe methods because they believe that the PSI of the machine is actually doing the cleaning. They also use ladders to reach high areas, all while trying to handle a pressure washer in one hand. One slip on a wet ladder could lead to a serious injury or even death.

Very rarely does a professional pressure washing company ever need to get on a ladder to wash a home. Few pressure washing companies in Indianapolis have the the correct equipment to wash the exterior of a home safely and effectively, relying on ladders and the use of high pressure to clean. Do you want the liability of a fall while at your home? Do you want to risk damage to your property or landscaping with the use of a high pressure machine?

If you decide to wash your own home, be very careful and safe. There is more to pressure washing than just hooking up a garden hose to the machine and pulling the trigger. Pressure cleaning by an experienced and professional contractor is both safe and cost efficient - contact us today for a free estimate or to schedule your upcoming project.

Hot Water Concrete Cleaning - Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers

2009-01-07T10:14:00.006-05:00

Cement can be one of the most challenging surfaces around a home to clean. Concrete is very porous which allows dirt, tree sap and rust stains to sink deep down making it almost impossible to clean with just soap and water. In order to clean concrete effectively, you must use a commercial grade power washer along with professional grade cleaners. Forget about using off-the-shelf cleaners and the $100 power washer, unless you need an excuse to play in the water for several hours.

Another thing to take into consideration when cleaning concrete is the size of the area to be cleaned and the time needed to cover that area. Typical driveways average 18' x 30' and some are 20' x 80' and larger. That means you could be pressure washing concrete areas between 540 square feet to more than 1600 square feet. Does this still sound like an enjoyable DIY project? Those cheap pressure washers that clean concrete in the neighborhood of one square foot per minute would mean spending 9 hours just to clean an 18' x 30' driveway. Better cancel all your plans for that type of weekend project.

Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville Power Washing

Indiana residents realize that proper maintenance of the exterior of their homes will add value and curb appeal. However, most homeowners never think about pressure washing their homes until they notice unsightly black mildew forming on the their gutters and overhangs. Vinyl siding, gutters, concrete driveways, and wood decks can all benefit from regular cleaning.

Exterior House Washing. The exterior of the home is the most common thing that most people think about when someone mentions "pressure washing". That is because your home is where mold and mildew develops the quickest, and is the most visible from the street. Even "maintenance free" exteriors such as vinyl siding will develop mildew and algae every year or two.

Gutters. The black streaks that form on your gutters are a type of oil that rainwater leaches from your shingles. There is no way to prevent these streaks from forming, but you can slow the process down by keeping your home's gutters clean to minimize the amount of water that overflows to the outside. These oil streaks are very difficult to remove and the chemicals needed to remove them are not sold or available to the general public. Fortunately, a regular cleaning by a qualified power washing contractor will remove them quickly.

Driveways. Over a period of several years, your concrete driveway will fade from a bright white to a dingy black color. This darkening is a combination of mildew, auto exhaust, tire rubber, and grime. Consumer grade pressure washers will remove this build-up very effectively, although doing so is a slow and tedious job. Pressure washers used by those in the power washing business are capable of handling a much larger flow of water, therefore the cleaning can be done much quicker and usually with much better results. Cleaning your driveway has a dramatic effect on the curb appeal of your home and should be done every couple years.

Decks. Pressure washing wood without causing damage takes skill, experience, and the right equipment. The last place to learn how to use a pressure washer is on your wood deck. Professional deck cleaning and sealing is not cheap, but if you consider the years it adds to the life of your deck, it is a great value. Many homeowners who attempt to do this work themselves often damage their decks by using chlorine bleach, too much pressure, or by applying an inferior sealer which accelerates the wood to rot.

Pressure washing can be a fast and inexpensive way of improving the appearance and value of your property. Hydroblast Pressure Cleaning is a professional power washing contractor located in central Indiana who specializes in improving the curb appeal of homeowners in Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville.

Removing Mildew From Vinyl Siding

2007-12-13T20:34:00.000-05:00

UV radiation and acid rain are the primary causes for the surface of vinyl siding to deteroriate. This results in the vinyl becoming dull and brittle, leaving a rough surface that absorbs moisture, making it a perfect breeding ground for the growth of mold, mildew, and fungus.

To determine whether blackish areas are mildew or just dirt, take a small amount of household bleach and apply it to the vinyl siding with a sponge. If the black spots disappear, it is most likely mildew. If they don't go away, the discoloration is probably just dirt and should easily be removed with a non-phosphate detergent.

When detecting the growth of mildew on vinyl siding, it is important to remove it as quickly as possible. The faster you are in removing it, the easier it is to clean. Mold and mildew will spread very quickly, especially in damp climates, and could ruin the vinyl siding permanently if not removed soon enough.

If you choose to do this work yourself, start by scrubbing any mildew from the vinyl's surface prior to power washing. Use both hands when operating the equipment and never use it while standing on a ladder. For high areas, you may be able to rent 6-12 foot extension wands, but be aware that these are difficult to handle and dangerous. Start with the nozzle about 3-5 feet from the wall and work your way closer until you feel the spray is strong enough - but not too strong. Never get closer than 12 inches from the siding as you may damage it and avoid aiming it upward as you may push water behind the siding. Remember, you are working with high pressure, so never point the nozzle at anyone and always wear safety glasses. Always keep the wand, water, and yourself away from any electrical wires or devices.

If you have a wide spread mildew problem, or your home is very large, it is much easier and safer to let a professional power washing contractor to do this work for you. These contractors are familiar with the correct detergents and methods to properly remove mildew, restoring your vinyl to a like-new appearance.

How To Hire A Professional Contractor

2007-12-05T21:51:00.000-05:00

Without a doubt, hiring a contractor for your home improvement project can be a daunting task. How do you know you've got a good contractor - one that you can trust to do a good job for a fair price that stands behind their work? Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. However, if you do your research before you actually hire a contractor, you will improve your odds of getting a contractor that you will be happy with, eliminating stress and anxiety.

Most homeowners know that you should get at least three bids for any home improvement job. The question is, whom do you ask? Word-of-mouth referrals tend to be the best. Ask your family, friends, and neighbors for the names of contractors that they have been happy with. You may get responses that include companies that you are familiar with and smaller companies that you have never heard of. Don't rule out the smaller companies - many good contractors prefer to get all of their work through word-of-mouth referrals.

Whether you prefer to use a referral from someone you trust or end up blindly calling a company that you've located on the internet, it's important to trust your instincts. Did the contractor return your call promptly and show up on time for your appointment? During the estimate process, was the contractor able to answer your questions to your satisfaction? Were they able to provide references? Was the contractor able to lay out their expectations for your project? These are all important points to consider when it comes time to make your decision.

The bids you receive from prospective contractors should be in writing and contain an itemized list of labor and material costs. You want fixed bids - not time and materials bids - as these tend to escalate far beyond what you expected the job to cost. The bids you receive will tell a lot about the contractors that are bidding. Was the estimate ready when the contractor promised it? Was the bid outrageously high? This contractor is busy and only wants the job if you are willing to pay a premium for their time. Was the bid very low? This contractor doesn't understand the scope of the job or deliberately underbid to get the job, perhaps due to shortcuts or inferior products.

Before you sign a contract, you may also want to check into how your selection conducts business. How long have they been in business? Do they have verified references? It is also imperative that the contractor carries both liability insurance (for your property) and worker's compensation insurance (for injuries to themselves).

When the time comes for your home improvement project, such as pressure washing or deck restoration, we hope that this information is helpful in selecting a contractor that meets your expectations.
