FAQ
- Can pressure washing wastewater enter a storm drain?Often it cannot. Municipal bylaws may prohibit soaps and loosened contaminants from reaching catch basins. Verify procedures for containment, recovery and lawful disposal for each service area, including customer responsibilities and permit requirements.
- Which property-damage claims should I review?Inspect records for damaged siding, roofs, seals, paint, windows, landscaping and water intrusion. Compare complaints with insurer loss runs, contracts, site photographs and chemical procedures, then assess whether repeat problems reflect inadequate training.
- What safety records matter for pressure cleaning work?Review fall protection, ladder and lift use, chemical training, traffic control, slips, injection injuries and workers' compensation history. Requirements vary by province and site, so confirm customer-specific orientations and certifications remain current.
- How should I value pressure washing equipment?Inspect pumps, engines, burners, tanks, hoses, surface cleaners, recovery systems, trailers and vehicles. Verify serial numbers, maintenance and financing, then value equipment by condition and productive capacity rather than the seller's original cost.
- How does Canadian seasonality affect pressure cleaning revenue?Compare monthly bookings, cancellations and margins across several years, including winter shutdowns and wildfire or water restrictions. Model fixed payroll, storage, insurance and vehicle costs during months when outdoor work is limited.
- How can I confirm the quality of recurring commercial contracts?Review assignment, renewal, termination, service standards and site-access requirements for each account. Reconcile completed work and collections, then test margin after travel, water, wastewater recovery, night work, permits and subcontractor costs.
