The difference between a DIY and a professional cleaning is in the capability of the equipment and the expertise of the trained technician. Most rental power washing equipment has the same PSI (pounds per square inch) as commercial grade equipment, but the volume of water it uses is minimal. This results in projects that can take longer, and is much less effective, wasting your time and money.
Most DIYer's often don't realize that a proper and thorough cleaning is not always a result of high pressure. An untrained power washer may use a water pressure setting that is too high and too close to the surface being cleaned. This often results in a damaged surface. Avalanche Power Wash has the equipment and training to recognize the appropriate pressure and distance for each project in order to protect your concrete from damage.
