Why do I want my home soft washed opposed to the high pressure method?
This is the safest, most effective and up to date method and eliminates the possibility of damage that can be caused by high pressure.
Will your chemicals harm my vegetation?
We take care to water any vegetation in the affected zone before the chemical is applied. Then during the cleaning process there is a large volume of water used that will dilute the chemicals down to a harmless amount.
How often should I have my home cleaned?
In most cases, you should notice that your home will look nice for you approximately two years. North Alabama Pressure Washing offers annual maintenance services that keeps the pollutants and contaminants removed from your property that will keep the materials in the best shape for a longer period of time. Painted surfaces are the most susceptible.
Do I need to be home when you are there?
It is not necessary. No pets are to be in the yard while we are doing your job. All windows and doors should be closed. Outside fans and lights need to be off. The customer should have moved any furniture etc. that has been agreed on.
What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing my siding?
Traditional pressure washing uses high-velocity water that can scar brick or warp vinyl siding. North Alabama Pressure Washing uses a low-pressure soft wash method combined with custom-made chemical solutions to kill algae and mold at the root without causing surface damage.
Why do you need to spray chemicals on my house instead of just using clean water?
Pure water only blasts away top-level dirt while leaving microscopic mold and algae spores behind to regrow. Our custom-blended, eco-friendly detergents sanitize the surface completely, breaking down tough organic bonds so they can be gently rinsed away.
When should I get my gutters brightened versus just a standard cleanout?
A cleanout removes leaves and debris blocking water flow, but gutter brightening targets the ugly black streaks caused by electrostatic bonding on the exterior. North Alabama Pressure Washing recommends brightening when your gutters look grey, dingy, or stained from roof runoff.
How does your process protect my landscaping and garden beds from chemical runoff?
We take property protection seriously. Our experienced technicians heavily saturate all surrounding plants with fresh water before, during, and after the soft wash application, which dilutes our eco-friendly cleaning solutions and completely shields your delicate vegetation from harm.
How long does a professional house soft washing service typically last?
A standard residential soft wash takes a few meticulous hours to complete correctly, depending on your property's size. Because our specialized formulas eliminate organic growth at a microscopic level, your home's exterior will stay clean up to three times longer than high-pressure blasting.
Why can't I just use a standard DIY pressure wand on my concrete driveway?
Consumer pressure washers easily leave uneven "zebra stripes" and can permanently erode the top cream layer of your concrete. Our experience at North Alabama Pressure Washing shows that commercial surface cleaners provide uniform, streak-free results by distribution pressure evenly across the slab.
What factors affect the cost of a professional deck and fence soft washing job?
Pricing depends primarily on total square footage, the severity of mold or atmospheric buildup, and the material composition. Porous wood requires a completely different chemical concentration and gentler pressure profile than a standard vinyl fence to achieve a safe, flawless finish.
Why do you need extra time on-site instead of quickly blasting the dirt away?
Fast blasting cuts corners and risks property damage. At North Alabama Pressure Washing, we take the time needed to let our custom chemical treatments properly dwell and emulsify deep-seated grime, ensuring a thorough, damage-free clean that lasts.
