Pressure Washing Lakewood

Whether you're pressure washing a business or a home, there are a lot of dangers associated with each job. We understand power washing looks rather simple, but there is a lot of "behind-the-scenes" information you must have before taking on one of these jobs. No matter what you're doing it's also important to be aware of the potential dangers and risks. Those who don't end up with a poor pressure washed area, or they get injured in the process.

This section is all about taking the necessary steps to be safe, even if you're just watching Spray Away do the job for you.

Even though you would think this is all about the pressure washing, the weather elements play a huge factor in the danger impact. The heat alone can take its toll on the body, and if no one else is around while you're power washing, the risks could be more severe. One of the problems associated with pressure washing in the heat, is that you usually don't feel hot. The mist from the wand can make a hot day feel mild, which could trick you into believing everything is fine.

If you don't hire Spray Away to do the job for you, make sure you consider the symptoms of heat exhaustion:

* Dizziness
* Fainting
* General Muscle Weakness
* Headaches
* Light-Headedness
* Vomiting
* Etc.

It's also possible for you to start feeling confused as well. One of the more difficult symptoms to notice is clammy skin. Due to the job, it's possible that this can be mistaken for mist from the wand. However, if you're not feeling yourself, take a break. Be sure to move to a shaded area and drink some water. It's also a good idea to soak a cloth in cold water and place it over your head and neck areas.

There have been cases around the country where people have tried to work through it but end up with heat exhaustion and sometimes a heat stroke. It could even be fatal without the necessary precautions.

Spray Away realizes there are different electrical wire setups on the exterior of every home. This is could be a very threatening hazard if the power washer's preparations are not done thoroughly. When our licensed power washers come out to a home to do exterior work, we always check the electric line situation. In Lakewood C., and northern New Mexico areas, some of these power lines might be without insulation.

A power line without insulation is one drop away from hurting someone. One of the problems we deal with as professional power washers is maneuvering through these lines with telescoping poles. They're basically our extensions to get those hard to reach spaces. If you try to do it yourself and one of these poles hits a line, you could be in serious trouble.

If you want to remove yourself from this equation, hire a professional team to do the job. Then again; if you still think it’s a DIY job, pay extra special attention to the wires.

One thing to understand about pressure washers is that they can be dangerous. Homeowners have had accidents resulting in disfigurement and death just by using a pressure washer. How is this possible? Well, you have to think about why you're using a pressure washer in the first place. The typical solutions don't works, so you have to take extra measures. In this case it's using more pressure.

Correctly holding and using your wand will reduce the overall risks of something terrible happening. One of the reasons that 3000PSI pressure washers are standard for homeowner use is because they won't rip through the skin. However, something near a 4000PSI will take it off in the blink of an eye. Here are the three areas you should always be concerned about:

The proper safety gear can eliminate this problem all together. Unfortunately it’s an added expense you might not want to invest in. If this is the case then you should let the professionals handle your situation and your risk will be reduced to a 0%.

Here at Spray Away, we always stress the importance of staying healthy. Simple things like drinking plenty of water, consistent exercise, and eating well can be the key to safe and happy career in this industry. Unfortunately, homeowners might only use a pressure washer a handful of times in their life. You might not think about being healthy when it comes to a pressure washing job.

The point is; an unhealthy person is more susceptible to injury. It might be a hamstring pull, a charlie horse, or cause an accident where one of your body parts gets broken. Probably one of the biggest problems is dehydration, especially on a sunny day. So, if you decide to do this yourself, we recommend taking a couple weeks to get in shape for it. Yes, it sounds crazy, but once you start holding the wand it will be a whole different story.
