Whaley's Essential Pressure Washing is here to answer all your questions about pressure washing for your surfaces! We offer detailed and thorough pressure washing in Hoover, whether it's for your commercial pressure washing projects, or for one specific area around your home.
What's The Difference Between Pressure Washing And Soft Washing?
While traditional pressure washing works great for cleaning stains off of tougher surfaces, such as concrete, brick, and tile, it isn't always the best option for softer surfaces. Traditional pressure washing uses higher water pressure to blast away stains, while soft washing uses a lower water pressure combined with a cleaning agent in order to gently lift stains from more sensitive surfaces, such as glass, shingles, wood, and vinyl.
Do You Work With Commercial Clients?
Yes! We offer both commercial pressure washing and commercial soft washing services to the greater Hoover area.
Is That Black Stuff On My Roof Really Not Dirt?
Some of it might be dirt, but it's more likely that the majority of it is gloeocapsa magma buildup. Gloeocapsa magma is a common strain of black algae, which is especially common in areas that experience high humidity and high heat. It's important to have it cleaned as soon as you can once you notice it because it's also an airborne algae strain, which means it can travel from rooftop to rooftop via the wind. Our team at Whaley's Essential Pressure Washing offers detailed algae cleaning for your Hoover rooftops!
Are Your Cleaning Methods Or Chemicals Environmentally Safe?
Absolutely! Our pressure washing company understands the importance of keeping the environment safe and free from harmful chemicals. It's safe for your garden, and your pets or children can also be in the area once we're finished cleaning.
