Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do we apply Roof Treatments/ Wash Roofs?
    Our first suggestion is a Roof treatment. This involves LOW pressure (almost no pressure) chemical spray on the roof. Once applied this will instantly kill all the lichen & moss growing. It will work itself off over a period of 6 – 9 Months. Run, sun, rain, sun….. this will work all of the organic growth off. Although this is a LONG time and provides slow results, we recommend this in most cases as 70% of roofs are not water tight. If we HIGH pressure a roof- we risk the chance of a leak.
  • What if I am selling my house and cannot wait 9 months?
    In this instance, we will treat the roof & water blast the roof. Once water blasted 100% clean – we will spray the full roof with treatment to stop any further growth.
  • Will you be using high pressure?
    We utilize high pressure exclusively for pressure washing concrete, bricks, decks, fences, and similar surfaces. When it comes to painted surfaces and cedar, we employ low pressure, known as a soft wash.
  • Why is washing my property important?
    Over time, exterior surfaces gather dirt, grime, and mildew, which can detract from the appearance of your Auckland property and pose potential damage to surfaces. House washing revitalizes your home's aesthetics and safeguards its long-term durability.
  • What does your standard house wash include?
    The basic house wash encompasses cleaning the exterior of gutters, exposed downpipes, fascia boards, soffits (downward-facing surfaces), all cladding, exposed foundations, window rinse, and garage doors. Additional services are available, such as cleaning decks, fencing, roofs, sheds, patios, walkways, pool areas, as well as gutter cleaning and spider treatments.
  • Will Cleaning products kill my plants?
    The cleaning solution we utilize is purposely formulated to avoid harming your plants. Additionally, due to the high efficiency of our team, any overspray onto foliage is typically minimal, if at all. Although we are confident in the safety of our product around plants, if you wish to take extra precautions, we suggest implementing a 'vapour barrier.' You can achieve this by watering your garden before our arrival and rinsing it again after we finish. If this proves challenging due to mobility issues, we are more than happy to assist – feel free to let us know!
  • What is the difference between waterblasting and soft washing?
    Water blasting employs high-pressure water to eliminate dirt and grime from surfaces, while soft washing utilizes a low-pressure technique along with specialized cleaning solutions to delicately remove contaminants. Soft washing is the preferred method for delicate surfaces or areas where high-pressure washing may result in damage. On the other hand, water blasting is better suited for hard surfaces that demand a more aggressive cleaning approach.
  • How do you perform house washing
    We utilize specialized equipment such as pressure washers or soft washing techniques, along with environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, to effectively remove dirt, grime, mold, and mildew from the exterior surfaces of your home. Our trained professionals ensure thorough cleaning while taking care to protect your property.
  • Do we use safety harness’?
    YES. Safety is the most important thing. We have our certification for working at heights. We have temporary anchors on our vehicle & safety measures in place for each situation. We have the experience to anchor on almost every roof.
  • I’m on tank water, what will I do?
    We have worked with many different Tank water systems in the past. Any rain collection systems will need to be dis-connected before we start with your roof wash. We recommend leaving the pipes dis-connected for 4 rain days after the wash/ treatment.
  • Why is gutter cleaning necessary?
    The presence of leaves and debris in your gutters can impede the smooth flow of water, potentially causing water damage, leaks, and even foundation issues. Consistent gutter cleaning is a preventive measure against costly repairs, ensuring the well-being of your home.
  • Is house washing safe for my home's exterior?
    Are you worried about potential damage during the cleaning process? It's valid; improper cleaning methods can compromise the integrity of your home's exterior surfaces. Professional house washing services in Auckland employ safe and effective techniques to preserve your home's appearance without any risk of damage.
  • Can you clean without water blasting?
    Our method prioritizes safety over high-pressure water blasting by employing a blend of low-pressure water and custom detergents. Specifically tailored for each property, we spray these detergents over the targeted area. This application effectively loosens and adheres to the dirt, enabling us to wash it away without the need for force.
  • Is there a risk of the washing process causing damage to my paint?
    Not at all. In reality, our cleaning process is intended to extend the lifespan of your paint. The soft wash technique is non-abrasive, and our cleaning products pose no harm to paint. It's worth noting that many house wash products created by paint companies for cleaning their paint contain the same ingredients we use. As a precaution, we always conduct a small test in an inconspicuous area first.
  • How often should a house be pressure washed?
    The recommended frequency for pressure washing your house is influenced by its location and environmental conditions. Typically, it is advised to perform a pressure wash annually or every two years to preserve its appearance and prevent damage from dirt, mildew, or other contaminants. However, residences situated in humid or wooded areas may require more frequent cleaning to proactively avoid potential costly repairs.
  • When is the best time to schedule a house washing service?
    The ideal time for house washing depends on various factors such as weather conditions, seasonal considerations, and your specific needs. Generally, spring and fall are popular times for house washing as it helps to prepare your home for the changing seasons and remove buildup accumulated during the year. You can contact us anytime during the year for the house washing.
  • Why should I consider professional house washing for my home?
    To increasing the longevity of exterior surfaces, saving you money on maintenance and replacement costs in the long run. Overall, professional house washing ensures a thorough and safe cleaning process, tailored to your home's specific needs, resulting in a refreshed and revitalized exterior.
