Another good vid. I could debate you about who goes NUKE and who doesn't. Iny experience the Guy working out of the back of the truck (or one man show with a part time help) is not the one who is the bigger offender. Most of the time it is bigger company's. They send a crew in and the crew is there a couple hours. These guys are in a hurry they need to get to the next job. Mistakes happen when you rush. Also a lot of these guys charge a premium and they don't rinse. Some might rinse like a 2 or 3 foot section. A lot of them don't use covers on expensive plants or nothing on the down spouts. I did a vid about the splash and dash guys. On the house I did it me 12 hours to do, they had TONS of plants right up on the house and all over and a big screened in patio that needed to be protected due to fine wood and furnishing inside it. The other hose done but the dashers also had tons of plants around it. The price for both of us were within a 150 dollars of each other (me being a little more expensive) At the end of the job. I had one plant dead. They had 10 or twelve. Which I found out later, because my friend landscapers that house. I bid on the job but the owner went with the lower price he said I could not do the rinse and lower my price, I said NO. And in addition I threw in a free driveway cleaning they threw in nothing. So do all big companies have this problem? Of course not. However like I said I see it alot more with larger companies. Just because a guy works out of his truck does not mean he is a billy bob or that he is stupid or is not professional and know what he is doing. Personally if I'm looking for a bid for someone to do work for me, and they use derogatory language about their competitors, that is a BIG red flag... just a tip for those starting off on how to talk to a customer. Again... just my 2 cents ..
Ever had your pressure washer break for letting it idle for longer than 2 min? Or run longer than 5 min? I hear that if you don't compress the gun once for 2 min pressure will build up and break your pump or that if you hold the trigger for longer than 5 min the pump is going to overheat and break.

What about if they say they have their own pressure washer when doing d2d
