Santa Monica Pressure Washing Service Area:
Since 2011, RayAccess has proudly served the Santa Monica community. From single family homes north of Montana avenue to luxury hotels in and around downtown, we service both residential and commercial properties that need pressure washing. With our industrial rope access capabilities, our technicians can safely access and pressure wash dirt no matter how high.
We pressure wash surfaces and remove all dirt, dust, mud, grime, salt, mold, and chewing gum.
5 Step Process:
- Pressure washing can damage water sensitive items including plants, electrical components, and porous materials. Our crew always completes important preparation work to protect these vulnerable items.
- Stubborn stains are difficult to remove even with standard pressure washing. In this case, we pretreat stains with an eco-friendly cleaning solution and a scrubbing brush.
- The pre-treatment, if necessary, is typically followed by a top to bottom pressure washing service. Standard pressure washing is made up of using compressed air & water.
- Post pressure washing service includes the cleanup. Our crew will rinse hardscapes to wash away the heavy soil or dirt that came down from the pressure washing service.
- Exterior window cleaning is an additional service that is highly recommended after pressure washing. Since hard water can remain on glass from the pressure washing it is more cost effective to complete standard window cleaning instead of the more costly hard water removal.
Pressure Washing Regulations in Santa Monica:
As a Santa Monica licensed business, RayAccess uses approved equipment and follows the same guidelines in unison with the city of Santa Monica’s pressure washing division. We ensure no water with pollutants enters the storm drain system during our service. During times of severe drought, Rayaccess is committed to pausing all non-essential pressure washing in accordance with the city of Santa Monica.
Things You Should Not Pressure Wash:
Pressure washing with a high intensity PSI level can damage certain materials and should not be used on peeled paint, hardboard, vinyl, canvas, limestone, travertine, and some brick masonry. The previously mentioned porous materials absorb water very quickly and can be damaged.
Pressure Washing vs Power Washing:
Pressure washing and power washing are synonymously in layman’s terms. Whether you are searching, pressure washing near me or power washing near me, the results are very similar. But technically speaking, a power washer uses a heating source, whereas a pressure washer does not.
A power washer is generally used to clean very contaminated surfaces such as driveways or parking lots. Using hot water can better remove grease that is left behind from cars.
Pressure washing is less harsh on surfaces as it doesn’t use hot water. For most building and residential jobs, pressure washing is a much safer way to go.
Challenges with Pressure Washing:
Although pressure washing machines are now targeting the DIY market, they are very different than using a garden hose. Pressure washing requires experience in order to do a quality job.
For example, pressure washing at very high levels can create surface lines as they clean. A skilled practitioner will know how to pressure wash surfaces without creating lines or damaging the building substrate. A number of variables can help optimize the results including nozzle size, applicational direction, and PSI threshold.
If you don’t know what you are doing, the activity can be dangerous. Pressure washers can rip through flesh at close range, they are not toys. Jobs requiring ladders and extensions increase your risk. It is a difficult task, so please hire an experienced pressure washing contractor that is both skilled and insured!
