and this is after it has dried

New construction house. Don’t think pressure washing it is what it would take. Customer main complaint is the orange staining. What can I use to softwash it?

Got a request for a quote on a driveway. First paver driveway. I have a standard 4000 psi 4gpm gx390 and a 16inch whisper wash. Is it the same as a normal concrete driveway?

Pictures from earlier this year. Washer has spent a hard outdoor winter and my guess is my laborer did not follow directions on winterizing, and I am just a daggone fool for accepting his word that it went well and as expected. I found the unloader knob on the ground by the tires. I rethreaded this thing in, but could not get any water out of the hose. I put it all down that day as I had no time to actually think about it.

4 months later, and I see one o-ring on the unloader knob is junk, but am going to need this thing soon as our season is starting to see signs of wrapping up. But even without the o-ring, there is no water to the hose tip. When I turn water from the well off, there is a tremendous amount of pressure at the hydrant when unhooking the hose. Then when unhooking the hose from the pump, just a dribble from the pump itself. When removing the unloader valve, there is minimal water coming from the discharge/heater side of the manifold. Could it be the flow switch plugged? I am no pressure pump repairman, but it seems that it is either a very simple thing or a very expensive thing. Any smart people out there who can advise before simply spending an arman a leg to have the suits repair it?

I was doing a house wash today and ran into something I haven’t really dealt with before.
One side of the house had some really thick algae growth. It wasn’t just a wall that had turned green—it was more like splotchy/chunky patches of algae built up on the siding.
I used my typical setup: X-Jet + surfactant + 12.5% SH. Applied it to the wall and let it dwell for around 10–15 minutes.
The SH definitely killed the algae—it turned white/dead—but when I went to rinse it off, the dead algae was extremely stubborn. Even with pressure, a lot of it wouldn’t come off.
The weird part is that if I took my finger and wiped the siding, the dead algae came right off with basically no effort.
Is this just a case of needing a stronger rinse/longer dwell, or is there a better way to remove this type of thick, dead algae without having to physically wipe/scrub the siding?
Curious what you guys would do in this situation.

Hey yall!

Trying to find a replacement for this hose interconnect from my (admittedly cheap) pressure washer.

Pressure blew an opening right through at the bend on the inside and sprays water everywhere. I’ve been trying to search using the stamped numbers on the side and various search terms but to no avail.

Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Not a professional cleaner, but just did SH mix on my garage roof with very impressive results. Two years ago Insurance made me put a new roof on the house done at the sametime just because of the stains. My garage roof literally looks New Now !! (well to a idiot from Insurance company most likely looking at Sat. Image)

ROOFERS ARE MAKING A KILLING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF INSURANCE COMPANIES.. JUST GOTTA GET TO THE HOUSE BEFORE THEY DO !! I did my own roof but homeowners aren't getting a New Roof for less then 12-15k+.. Just a thought for you all..
