That is interesting. Is it hot out when you are spraying the roofs? Is it staying wet for 15 min before rinsing? California has odd rules so I’m not sure what is allowed. Take a bottle of pool bleach and do a test spot with it straight and see if the growth reacts to it. If not then it may be non organic. Want those if roofs are you trying to clean?

Just trying to make sure people don’t lose more money!

I’m not quite understanding your question or statement. Can you clarify

Thanks! Looks like those came from VidIQ. Love that!

Haven’t seen one up here in WA yet. I will keep my eyes open though because that would be a great place to find extra stuff

I change the percentage based on material and organics. For moss I go 4% minimum. For discolored concrete I usually use 2% just to break up the surface tension. For the PSI, I throttle down on concrete to avoid lines. In aggregate I keep it pretty high since they are a lot of odd angles to get into. Where in the PNW are you? I’m looking for a lead tech if you are in the maple valley Washington area

@ that’s a ton of help man thank you 🙏 I’ve got a big aggregate job coming up. I’m just north of the border from you. Over here on Van Island, running my own small set up out of my truck. If I wasn’t I’d join in, You know your shit. Seattle actually reminds me more of Victoria than Vancouver does lol. I like your guys’ state.

@lastnamefirst650 I’m glad I could help! I hope the job goes well. Are you on Google? Make sure you are taking before and after pictures and keeping your Google business page up to date

Yeah, cedar is not my favorite at all. I wear korkers made for cedar to give me grip. Then when I walk in the cedar I make sure that my foot is on two shingles at a time so that if one cracks or slides I still have the other to hold my foot. I walk carefully and watch for loose, rotten or cracked shingles. I am not an expert in cedar roofing by any means. 90% of what I clean is asphalt shingle. Hope this helps

Are you wanting to see how to pull debris from the gutter and how to tighten gutter spikes and brackets?

@ExteriorCleaning4Real More on the bracket stuff. I’ve never seen another channel do it. how to properly loosen and tighten brackets so you know you’re not damaging them, what to do if one pops out so you know you reinstalled them correctly. That stuff. Do you loosen just a couple in the middle? Staggered? Cheers thx

I need to get some footage of 1, 2 and 3 months later too so people can see how long it takes for the dead moss to come down

Thanks!

It is a REMCO 12V 7GPM I want to say the prayer tip is just a fan tip rated for the GPM I’m using

I got the same exact pump. It can be a few diff sizes nozzles. If you ever take a look and find out the exact nozzle size please let me know. Thanks

@dandellasala983 1/4MEG 2540 for fan 0040 for shooter

I use lauramine oxide. I put about 2-3oz per gallon of water on my auxiliary soap tank. You can put about 1-2oz per gallon if you are batch mixing. If you don’t have a distributor close then you can just order elimonator or soap from southeast softwash.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks man! Stay safe out there!

Most likely the same person yes. I did mean north east.

Shoot me an email with “UA-cam” in the subject line and we can talk offline about the details

If you are inside the U.S. then study this page. It has all the details. If you get stuck, go to your local post office and ask for guidance. www.usps.com/business/every-door-direct-mail.htm

Personally I won’t put in an insurance claim unless it is outside my ability to fix. Example, dead plant, I would just replace it instead of having my insurance go up.

Absolutely! Come back and let me know what you think once you wear them a while.

@ I will.

I park it outside right now because I don’t have a place to park it inside. Everything is waterproof but I have a tarp that goes over it in cold weather and a heater for the back to keep stuff from freezing. It doesn’t get freezing cold up here very much but it does happen a few times per year. I definitely recommend to park your equipment inside if you have the ability to but it isn’t a requirement as long as things are put together to make it waterproof

all clean power systems

Absolutely, or they crumble in the cold. Pretty much everyone should use circle clips.

That is moss. And it should not be on your asphalt shingle roof because it breaks down your roofing material, holds in moisture that causes roof damage over time and destroys the UV reflecting properties in your roofing material.

@ ok do it need to be cleaned yearly?

@DonnaChamberson with a roof wash (softwash) you need it washed every 2-4 years depending on your location, how much sun you get and how many trees you have around your house. Up here in the NorthWest it is common to need it every 2-3 years due to the long wet season, lots of trees and perfect growing conditions for moss and algae

Softwashing a roof does not cause damage and it actually the recommended method by roofing companies like GAF. Things that do cause damage: - Allowing moss, mildew and algae to grow on and feed off of the roofing material. - Scrubbing a roof with abrasive metal brushes which remove grit. - Cleaning the roof with high pressure (such as a pressure washer) which rips up roofing material. Insurance companies are refusing the issue homeowners insurance for homes that have moss on them. It is not just an aesthetic thing, it is a health and longevity boost for your roof.

@ExteriorCleaning4Real agree to disagree. For everything. Including your insurance comment. But if I was correctly you would have as much business.

Definitely hire someone to do your roof for ya. That is a very common feeling. It means your self preservation meter isn’t broken like mine.

It depends on the roof condition, material, pitch and access. Between $600-900 typically in my area. Minimum $500 **This information is for education purposes and is in no way a quote or estimate. For a quote from the company I own, please go to SpartanWG.com and follow the Quote links.

Lol

We just have to get better at educating people on what roof washing is and how it is beneficial. Try talking to them about the price of a new roof or the cost of having home owners insurance cancelled

He's flipping the house 🫨

Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Roofing material feeds organisms that eventually turn your roof black and grow moss. Roof washing prevents that growth or kills the growth that is already there. Pressure should never be used on roofing material because it can cause damage

Thank you!

No. That’s a Canik Rival-S

How do you guys like the shadow 2

I have not used the shadow 2 before. How do you like it?

@ if any chance your near an indoor gun range that rents guns try it out or the xde 45

@parentsvskids9129 I will take a trip to do that hopefully soon. I want to try out a couple 1911 and 2011 frames

Perfect!

Absolutely. Hope it helps

Good question. Rinsing before and after will keep the surrounding vegetation from getting damaged. In the case of this video, the type of surrounding vegetation is tough and it was rinsed down thoroughly. The ground was also rinsed completely after the video. If you DIY make sure you wear clothes that you don’t mind getting messed up in case you splash. And yes, always rinse rinse rinse

That is tragic. I work with bleach every day and have not seen it do that much damage. Normally the correct dilution and proper before and after rinsing will ensure everything is diluted to a safe level. I’m so sorry to hear you had that experience :/

@ Hi, That was years ago another life he had. I would gather he did full on bleach and saturated everything. Good to know diluting it doesn’t do that kind of damage.

lol. Yep. But don’t do it with a rag like some people try to
