Hi! I've got a cold 4/3500 washer and have been asked to bid on cleaning an asphalt parking lot at a doggy daycare business. The owners have it caged off, about 2000 sq ft. There's a small area they have covered with gravel that will be removed before I get there. The lot was sealed in the...

Hi! I could use some references for insurance agents. I need $6000 contractors bond and $250,000 liability insurance in Washington State. I'd also like to hear what your coverages and premiums are. Thanks, Dan

Hi! After reviewing posts on bleach concentration for roofs, it seems ~1.5% bleach delivered is good. I have a downstream injector that delivers 15/1, so using 12% bleach I would end up with 0.8% bleach delivered. Is this too dilute? If it is, a lady from the pool supply said they had 100%...

Hi! I have a new landa 3500 psi 3.8 gpm pressure washer. The wand has two tubes, a high pressure tube that the various degree tips quick connect onto, and a low pressure tube used for siphoning and applying chemicals. Which one is engaged is determined by a valve on the wand. I've seen the...

High! I need a method to get up to the eve of a 2 story building to wash the roof. You can see the pics in the thread 'Roof and Patio Disaster'. It's about 16-20' from ground level to edge of roof. I decided to go with the Pitch Witch and 32' extension sold by Glenn. Should arrive in a few...

Hi! People here speak highly of the Pitch Witch. And I enjoyed talking with Glenn the other day about it. I'll post a pic of the pitch witch, then in a follow up post one of the water broom (any way to post two pics on one post?).

Wow :-( I went to my first pressure washing job today, a composite roof and some walks and patio. Things I'd do differently: 1) Not accept the job until I've done my own house first. 2) Learn how to put the fall prevention harness on when in the store. I rented the harness, catch...

Hi! I may be doing my first pressure washing job soon: a 10-15 yr old house getting ready for market. I'd be doing the composite roof, gutters, walls (mainly light colored brick), concrete exp. ag. walks and patio and the garage floor. What chemicals, temps, methods would you use for each...

Hi! What are your experiences with these hot pressure washers and stand alone hot boxes. I plan on getting propane. Thanks, Dan

Hello! I want to buy one hot box to serve both my carpet cleaner that has .25 to 2 gpm and pressure washing of 4-5 gpm. I spoke with 3 or 4 manufacturers, a couple of whom recommended I talk to a place that retails their hot boxes. The retailer said there would be a few problems with a...

Hi! I anticipate getting into the pressure washer business slowly over the next several months, looking at 3000psi/4gpm. We have a small home and office cleaning business and I will be entering the carpet cleaning business next month. At the same time I will be offering pressure washing...
