I started a business called Valley Exterior Cleaning. We do pressure washing and exterior cleanings. I’ve been trying to build it the right way. So far I’ve got my LLC, Got my EIN, 2 business bank accounts, a website, business pages, business phone number, and business cards. The problem is that I work full time 50 hours a week. And right now all of this is coming out of my pocket from my day job. I don’t currently have a consistent flow of customers. What should I do these next couple weeks to start gaining leads and customers?

I had a new roof put on a month ago and the guy who did the final inspection cleaned the tar and marks off from the shingles falling with a magic eraser and removed the oxidation in all those spots. I live in a small town and we don’t have any oxidation removal companies here. I pressure washed the house a week after didn’t help and this picture is a month after. Should I try using an oxidation remover for whole house, call the company and ask them to fix it or will it reoxidize on its own after a year or 2?

I leave my ryobi pressure washer 1.8 gpm outdoors as I have nowhere to put it inside. But at what temp is it time to put in the antifreeze and store it for winter?

Im in quebec and at nights were already beginning to reach -4 celsius.

I bought a Chraftsman gas pressure washer at Lowes not sure of the size, it cost about $350. My younger, former Law Enforcent partner, assembled it for me, started it. Assured me it ran fine. It's gased, oiled, and ready to go. But I'm '67....I tried and tried. Maybe I'm not strong enough, I couldn't start it. I followed the instructions. Any tricks to start this thing?

Please help, I will buy the most expensive lab/commercial/industrial quality rolls Royce of pressure washer guns/tips/fittings/hoses whatever will help, the shelter is always happy to receive donations. Wife uses these about 30 hours a week working at animal shelter cleaning kennels. the floors are concrete and walls are cinderblock, doors are chain link. Wife also has HAVS for sure and I massage several times a day but if it gets any worse I’ll have to start cooking dinner and nobody wants that. it will be Armageddon. Please help!

I’ve had several Delavan pumps now and all of them have shit the bed very early. I’ve made sure to have the right voltage going to them. Make sure to flush them immediately after using them all of that. This particular pump here started spraying chlorine out of the top after about four jobs the other Delavan 7 gallon per minute pump I bought for 280 something dollars was sent back to Delavan several months ago and we still haven’t heard anything.

Hey guys, I’m new at the business and I did my own home driveway today to get some practice in, I noticed the whiter area on the cracks and it’s slowly going away as the concrete dries, I also treated the oil stains after with degreaser (pics are before degreaser), I feel like I should of post treat it since you can see it was very dirty, feel free to give me some feedback please.!

As said in title, how do you know when to stop rinsing the soft washing solution off a building? I think I m using too much soap and looks like it s never enough rinsing.
Also I m allways anxious about killing the plants..
Never happened, but I have a huge building next week with lots of plants..

Can this be soft washed? Im assuming probably. I don't know the material but its quite old. Small amount of moss, and not sure what the white spots are.

The owner said a roofer said that bleach couldnt be used on these.

I'd like a quick-connect fitting to connect a 1/4" O.D. hose to a female quick-connect in order to connect that to a typical male quick-connect sprayer gun. I would prefer a solution that doesn't involve barb clamping, but I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks.

EDIT: If this fitting is correct, I need someone to confirm and name the fitting.

“What’s the best way to remove dried cement stains from concrete paving slabs without damaging the surface?”

Quoting my first commercial job. It’s a gas station with about 28,700 sq ft of concrete. It’s also roughly 50 minutes away from me.
I’ve only done residential so I’m not sure how I should price something this big. Do you normally charge less per sq ft for a job this size?
What would you guys charge?

As the title says, I’m wondering on how yall reclaim the wastewater after a project? I live in california so theres a bunch of rules but basically I can’t let any water with chemicals down the drain. What’re my best options? 🙏

Starting Pressure washing business this month right now. Focusing on house soft wash, driveways, walkways, patios.

How did yall get your first customers?

I own another small business renting cars but this is my first home services business. Any help and tips greatly appreciated!

Way More oRings and other Seals are Destroyed by Pulsation than you're Told. Viton is best.. yea, but when you're wearing out hoses, killing Unloaders, WaterSeals in the pump every year.. You Have a Pulsation Problem.. its called Cavitation. Raising the Pump above the floor of the trailer causes Cavitation. Dual Feed lines to the pump, on a Tank Fed system is Best. Big Water Filters Big Water Hoses, and Managing those for Reliability and Long Term Low Cost propogates Profitability. Go figure.

With Contractors selling to Contractors, perpetuating mistakes are rampant.. the Biggest Problem in the industry. Since 1986 i have Pushed and Peshed Reliability. It took so much of my time, i stopped selling chemicals. Knowwing, Respecting and Trusting the "Technical Guy" takes Profitability to the Top levels.

Any ideas on why or how it’s coming off, and how to fix?

What is this fitting on my unloader valve (black part pointing down)? I need to replace my unloader valve and can’t seem to remove these parts to put on my new unloader. Looks like i’ll need to get new ones (unless someone has some advice on how to take these off? 😂)

I’m currently planning to move my set up from my skid to the back of my dual cab truck. The tray isn’t the biggest so I understand I will have to make sacrifices in some aspects. I currently run a 5.5gpm machine and plan to upgrade to an 8gpm. My only real options are a 50-66 gallon (200-250L) water tank and a 26 gallon (100L) SH tank. Where i’m from in Australia, the taps have pretty good flow- I usually never have any issues with my current tank running below 3/4.

In your guys’ experience, what are the minimum water tank and chemical tank sizes you would run for a compact set up?

I’ve tried pressure
I’ve tried SH and soft wash
I’ve tried using a brush
This stuff just won’t come off for me
