Damage,
Why do pressure-washing companies do this? Isn't obvious to them when they are causing this type of damage. I have been in business and see companies damaging concrete in many different ways. I have seen chemical damage to awnings, trucks, cars, buildings, stainless steel & many other surfaces. When is this madness going to stop. What I really mean when will customers not tolerate substandard pressure washing.
I wanted to get more detailed about this topic and really post more photos. Just don't have the time and Dan doesn't have the space to look at these photos. This photo is and example of the damage you can see at just about three out of ten places you go in phoenix.
My trouble with it is you can't seem to make customers understand that this type of pressure washing is destroying there concrete. I have a pretty good program with new customers and explaining the effects bad pressure washing can cause. The potential customer with this problem is the guy I 'm having trouble with. Some people just don't care or just don't understand about what I'm trying to tell them. I try to make it simple and explain if you let this person keep doing this soon your concrete will look terrible.
I will never deny that I have never damaged concrete. It can happen and might happen to me tomorrow. I realize accidents do happen and I have employees. I'm trying to tell you I know cleaners that have been in business several years and still are damaging everything they do. They continue to get hired by someone else every time I turn around. I could mention these companies but I could get sued. You might say you can't get sued for telling the truth. Well I don't have the videotape of them damaging the surfaces either. These companies always seem to pawn it off on another company must have done that.
My explanation is that they just don't care. They bid the jobs so cheap that they cant take the time to remove gum and other things properly. It kills me to see fellow pressure washer doing work like this. I'm not here to argue about philosophy on how this can hurt or help the your little world but to talk with other that have similar problems and find out techniques on how they combated the problem. I recently ran into a customer that was concerned. After the smoke cleared he said sometimes its just not about the money. We have had along relationship with this guy and we are going to stick with him for now. As a matter of fact he said no one else has done there concrete and the damage was in fact caused by him and he said he was sorry.<FONT COLOR="Red">Here's the question, would these photos being sent to a manager higher up do any good? </FONT c>
some more examples.
