With all that said, let’s get started:
- Lock your doors and windows: doors, windows, or any other opening are potential causes of water damage in your home interior, which is not something you want to add to your list of house problems. Therefore, be thorough with this one, and don’t miss the opportunity to use tape or plastic coverings if necessary. Besides, this is a good chance to kill two birds with one stone since you can troubleshoot your home exterior while you inspect for holes, cracks, or any imperfection it may have.
- Clear the area: remember this: everything that’s in the pressure washer’s reach range is going to get wet. Therefore, if there’s something you want to prevent from getting wet, you must move it far, far away from the power washer’s reach.
- Relocate electronic appliances: electricity and water are everything but a good combination. Therefore, make sure to unplug any extension cord, put them away, and cover all the exterior outlets.
- Protect your kids, pets, and even plants: these three are fragile, alive creatures that can easily get injured by the pressure washer. Besides, they run around and play while you’re pressure washing, which may distract your contractor (yes, plants run around too). If you can take them to a friend or neighbor’s place to spend the day while you pressure wash, don’t think twice: do it.
- Hire the best possible contractor: this is the most important tip we can give you—the better the contractor, the better the final result. Take your time to choose a good one (such as Adams Pressure Cleaning if you’re from Jacksonville, FL), believe us, it will pay off.
