Puyallup Concrete Pros

Pressure Washing Concrete

There are two methods for cleaning concrete, both of which are challenging. Remember that after being filthy, concrete cannot always be restored to seem like new when pressure cleaning it. Although stains can be bleached or lightened, it is challenging to completely eliminate them. If you're looking for perfection, you might get rich, but you'll be let down. Customers will request a task that necessitates the removal and re-pouring of the entire concrete slab if you don't inform them and explain this up front.

Let's look at the equipment you'll require for this job. When utilizing a pressure washer, keep in mind that safety comes first. Some stains may require the use of chemicals to be removed. Therefore, eye protection must be used at all times. Additionally, you must wear pants to protect your legs when working with chemicals. Chemicals used to make concrete are quite potent and should not be interfered with. Do you feel more at ease working on dry or wet feet? It is advised to use rubber waders or boots with a comparable composition. Your feet will be protected from the scorching heat of the 250°F water and kept dry.

Orange cones are also required for this task. These can help draw attention to you if you're in a busy area or if there are plenty of contract workers present, like as a just finished house where the concrete needs to be cleaned. This helps to prevent accidents and ensures the safety of others around you. Naturally, using a Hydro-Twister will be necessary. Although using a wand may technically complete the operation, doing so would take much longer and require a lot more water, in addition to the possibility of streaking if even strokes aren't used across the slab. A hydro twister device is typically available as an option with current hot water pressure washers, but if you don't have one and/or require a backup, we suggest purchasing one. Choose the larger of the two alternatives when purchasing a hydro twister. When trying to save time without compromising quality, it is well worth it even though the difference in surface covering is only 5 inches. There is a lot of concrete to clean at construction sites and big-box stores, and the quicker you clean it, the more money you'll make. Think about that for a moment.

Keeping concrete clean can help extend its life and functionality.
