Danger To Your Home

Pressure washers can start with a minimum PSI of about 3,000. That is roughly 100 times the amount of pressure in the average car tire, but they can go much higher than that. With off that pressure comes great responsibility. If you do not have the perfect mixture of the correct pressue, temperature and amount of concentrated cleaning solution, it can be catestrophic for your home. Even a small inaccuracy could cause irreversable damage to your siding, patio, porch or even brick.

Danger To You

With such a great amount of force, there comes the inevitable danger to yourself. It can be difficult to control such a a high amount of pressure, even if you are very strong. If you accidentally hit yourself or a loved one while using the pressure washer, the results are not pretty. They may not seem to be too bad at first, however, without proper treatment administered in a reasonable time-frame your pressure washing wound is at an increased risk for infection and overall worsening condition. Not to mention, a pressure washer is so powerful that it can actually move some objects if the stream were to get into contact. You could end up sending your lovely garden gnome across the yard and potentially injuring anyone in its path.
