Professional Gutter Cleaning in South East Pennsylvania

Blue Water Power Washing is trained and a Certified Applicator from Deco Product s to clean, sand and seal. We follow their recommended process when cleaning to prepare for sanding and sealing. The process takes multiple steps to achieve a professional result. -First we start by applying an algaecide to kill all organic growth to make cleaning the pavers with higher pressure easier. -Next step is to use a high pressure turbo nozzle tip from a safe distance to blow out all the old sand in between the pavers to get rid of any unwanted moss and weeds but without damage to the stones. -We then follow up with a professional grade surface cleaner to ensure a uniform clean on all the paver stones. -Next is to apply a neutralizer to rebalance the pH of the stones, followed by more heavy rinsing -Our preferred method is dry sanding, so after 24-72hrs of cleaning the stones we will return to complete the sanding and sealing -We use ASTM-C144 joint sand. We broom in the sand (color of customer choice) and follow up with a leaf blower to get an excess sand out and make sure there is about 1/8' below the chamfer of the stone. -After all sand has been replaced and leveled, we use a joint stabilizing sealer to protect the pavers from moisture getting in and stabilizing the joints by creating a rock hard seal that won't allow the pavers to move due to natural erosion. This process should be completed every year or two to maintain the integrity of an outdoor paver area. However yearly clean and seals are much less expensive then having to relevel a whole paver area after years of erosion have washed away sand creating a ungulated area

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will Power Washing My House Cause Damage?

    Power Washing is no different than using any other power tool, in untrained hands it can be dangerous.  With that beign said, we use a soft washing technique that is ideal for cleaning houses regardless if its vinyl siding, stucco, brick, wood or aluminum.  Blue Water Power Washing trains all of their employees to handle company equipment properly before their first day of work.  Knowing which application to use to approach a stain is a key factor in our line of work and we want the best for our clients. 

  • What is the difference in Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing?

    Power Washing is the cleaning technique that implements high pressure (typically 2000-4000psi) and hot water (110F-190F) to remove stubborn oil and grease stains.  Pressure washing is similar to power washing that uses high pressure but with cold water, this technique is better for removing dirt and grime that soft washing is unable to clean.  Soft Washing is new to the industry and is best for residential cleaning.  Soft Washing uses low PSI (<1000psi) and appropriate chemicals to eliminate organic material such as algae, mold, mildew and lichen. 

  • How much will cleaning my home cost?

    We suggest giving us a call to discuss the details of what you would like to get cleaned, estimates are always FREE!  The price of a residential cleaning varies per household based on square footage, grime build up, frequency of cleaning and services offered.  If you are looking to just get a problem area cleaned, we are able to do so but set a minimum to come out.  However, if you are looking to get your whole house washed, gutters cleaned, concrete walkways brightened, and roof cleaned to remove dark streaks, we will dretermine prices and discuss discounts for packaged services.
