Is there a drainage power wash ?

A plumber just advised me to have a service called power wash at least once every three years. It supposes to clean all the drains and pipes connecting to city sewage system to avoid any clogging. I have never heard anything like that before so I am trying to do some researches first.





Please give me some information If any of you understanding something about it.





Thanks.Is there a drainage power wash ?
ridgid makes a special gas powered pressure wash deal with a special head that helps force the hose through a main drain we use it for restaurants to clear grease out of the drain lines its a ok system but i dont really push it that much for residential drain systems.........Is there a drainage power wash ?
Have you had any issues with your drains? The only reason I would think a home drain system would need it is if the pipes are not to proper grade. If the underground pipes are flat or have bellies slowing the flow, they may need flushed to avoid build up and blockage.

    I have a cleaning business and pressure wash frequently. That sounds like a good price but make sure that the engine is Honda. I have two pressure washers and Honda will last forever. My 4000psi was 900 brand new. Good luck to you.Buying a power wash,how much it realy cost?
    Karcher is a good name in pumps and sounds like the deal you're getting is not bad, but I agree with Warpig, make sure that the motor is Honda.


    They run smoother, quieter and longer than any others, good luck!

    Should i use a power washer to wash my dirt bike?

    The problem with a high power stream of water (power washer, coin operated car washes) is the high pressure in certain areas.


    Around the wheel hubs, you can blow the grease out of the wheel bearings, accelerating corrosion. Same with steering neck area, and swing arm pivot area.


    Electrical items can have contact corrosion accelerated.


    Water could get into engine (through carb, seep through bad gaskets, etc).


    Could de-grease your chain.Should i use a power washer to wash my dirt bike?
    yes its fine as long as you are not close to the graphics/stickers dont concentrate on 1 area for more than 2-3secs. if you back up about 3 steps when you get to the graphics you will be fine. i race atvs and i use our pressure washer a lot. i used it anytime my bike gets dirty. we have a coleman professional series pressure washer 4,000psi its a bit much but we use it a lot on trucks,houses,sidewalks,and lawn equiment. when you clean your bike make sure your air box is sealed and you have something in your pipe.Should i use a power washer to wash my dirt bike?
    It's not the best idea, but after a mud race sometimes that is the only way. Don't spray near the airbox, swing arm bearings, wheel bearings, etc. Just use common sense.
    I have never owned a dirt bike..but my road bike would get quite dirty..I just used a BUCKET of Water..and threw it at the bike..then a spray of silicone...after a while..nothing sticks..


    ===


    Don't get any on your SEAT---//
    yes but make sure you dry off every little piece so it doesn't rust. Also, make sure you lube up the chain cuz if it rusts you will have to buy a new one.
    It can possibly force water behind the seals of your wheel bearings and the o-rings on your chain.
    it wont hurt,when ur done pull the plug cap and blow the water out of it so it wont start hard.
    course...just keep away from any uninsulated electronics...

    Power washing a porch and touching up the paint?

    The family that a friend babysits for was looking for someone to paint and power wash the deck. I am good with the painting but I have never power washed anything. Any advice tips or warnings would be appreciated. I assume I would power wash it THEN paint, but like I said, I'm not 100%Power washing a porch and touching up the paint?
    power wash first. go for the green growth and loose paint...let dry...remove other loose paint the nomal way...prime bare wood and paintPower washing a porch and touching up the paint?
    You need to be careful and test the powerwasher's tip before you use it on the deck.Try it on a piece of wood or something.You want to use a wider spray tip not a fine point tip this kind of tip can actualy cause damage and cut or make a gouge in the deck.

    What to pay for power washing?

    I pressure washed a house about 2400 square feet. Was wondering what I should charge? I don't want to overcharge, but I don't want to undercharge myself.What to pay for power washing?
    They supply the water how about the electric your generater or there power it depends when I supple the power and the water I charge 50 an hour min covers any chemical I use and my time. There power 25-30 an hour unless your trying to get some references. They know fuel cost and operation is up and you should have discussed this before you do work.What to pay for power washing?
    Did you rent the pressure washer?Calculate the rental cost with approximate gas used to pick it up,add about 20% for labor.Helps pay for the rental,fuel consumption,your time and labor to do the job.

  • How much is it to have your Deck Power Washed and Stained?

    Deck is 10 by 20How much is it to have your Deck Power Washed and Stained?
    The price you pay will vary depending on variables such as where you live, how big the deck is and other items. If I were you I would contact a few contractors or handymen in your area.


    I would suggest that the cost to clean the deck will be in the range of .40-.55 cents and the cost for staining will likely be in the .75-.85 cent range. The cost of the stain you select will likely affect the cost. Make sure the wood is good and dry before the staining. Hope you find this helpful.How much is it to have your Deck Power Washed and Stained?
    Around $1.00 a s.f

    Can i power wash my 86 crown vic's 302?

    The radiator blew out and got coolant all over my engine and the underside of my hood and i wanted to power wash it off before it baked on there, ive heard that some people have done this to their 302s and get blue smoke that comes off the engine and out the exhaust. Is there a risk i may damage something?Can i power wash my 86 crown vic's 302?
    Don't use too much pressure, the distrubter cap will get wet, so have to take it off and dry it or cover it up before you wash the engine. Avoid hiting the relays on the left front fender with waterCan i power wash my 86 crown vic's 302?
    that's some dumb bullshit. if the engine is in fine condition you can power wash it. i did it to my 86 crown vic last week and it still runs with no prob. just try to avoid electrical n painted stuff, and don't use high pressure.
    Not a problem. Just be careful of the distributor cap. If you do get water inside you will need to dry it out in order to start the car. You will know if you got water in it when it doesn't start.
    depends on how much pressure you use, some powerwashers will the the paint and rip all your hoses off of your engine, also when washing your engine you want to keep it running, because the spark plugs will get water in them and if it doenst dry out by the heat of the engine running then the car wont start and you will have to take the spark plugs out and wipe them down or even replace them...

    If my cellar is damp, should I invite my girlfriend inside to power wash the walls?

    /smileIf my cellar is damp, should I invite my girlfriend inside to power wash the walls?

    Only if you have a nice dry candlelit corner somewhere and ';power wash the walls'; is a euphemism for something a lot more, um, exciting.
    Just to be safe, have her lick the wall a bit to make sure it's environmentally friendly... I just like to be safe...

    run a de-humidifier...........
    sure..its already damp

    Me and my hubby want to do a little concrete/ power washing business on the weekends? How do we go about this

    We live about an hour north of detroit. He did residental concrete for a few years. Neither of us have experience running a business. we want this to be just a side thing so we can get extra money.Me and my hubby want to do a little concrete/ power washing business on the weekends? How do we go about this
    make phone calls to get business license, local paper advertising, (offer a special to the first 10 or whatever you think) put decals on your vehicle towards advertising, buy a book of professional invoices to leave with clients that have thin paper as a second copy for you to keep for your own records, grab a little filing cabinet for the clerical stuff to be filed into, have the local stationary shop create some business cards for the both of you to hand out to serious inquiries, post a few up on billboards, have a picture taken of the two of you together in your work garb to put up somewhere you see fit, establish monthly clientele where possible.Me and my hubby want to do a little concrete/ power washing business on the weekends? How do we go about this
    I believe that the best way of going about it would be to go to your local government office and apply for a business license (people are more willing to do business with people who are licensed). Then little bulletin board advertisements posted in public areas would be good to get you started. the right equipment is essential also. you may want to go with a small power washer with 1500psi pressure and adjustable spray nozzle to start. and hey, as you move up to a bigger budget, you could purchase a nice trailor mount pressure washer with its own built on tank for truly portable operation.
    Make flyers to put in gas stations, buy a fairly nice power washer and decal the vehicle you drive to do jobs.

    Most all of your local rental stores will carry power washers.Need my deck power washed (it’s about 12” 8” feet). know of any companies or where I can rent a power washer?
    You can buy your own for $200.00, and use it to wash the car.....
    Many larger hardware stores rent equipment. (Ace here does) Home depot has rentals also. Check for equipment rental places in your phone book.
    Home Depot
    check the phone book and call around, there are several rental companies, but the availability of a power sprayer is iffy look under equipment rentals there is RSC Rentals for one, and they may be able to tell you of others.

    Give me some prices as far what people or business would pay to have something power washed for them?

    I am looking for something like.... $100 dollars a driveway.....$500 a house......$1,000 a day for a company to hire you for 8 hours.





    Those are examples for what I am looking for.

    I have a 350 gallon tank and a pressure washer, so I can go where a hose cant reach.Give me some prices as far what people or business would pay to have something power washed for them?
    I think i would maybe pay a $100 dollars a house but definitely not $500. I could rent a power washer and do it myself for practically nothing

  • How much power (w) does a washine machine use on a cold wash? Peak load and all that. thanks - jeff?

    I have a w/m on my boat, and it won't run on a cold wash with a 600w inverter. I'd like to buy a new inverter, and need to know the right rating. No-one around here seems to have the faintest idea!!How much power (w) does a washine machine use on a cold wash? Peak load and all that. thanks - jeff?
    depends on the machine. probably about 拢1-拢2 worth of electric!How much power (w) does a washine machine use on a cold wash? Peak load and all that. thanks - jeff?
    Check the model # plate or what ever on the back. It (by law) will show the wattage rating for the unit. The only thing drawing current is the motor, so it's not like a cloths dryer that draws both motor current and heat element current. 600 watts is not much of an inverter though, unless all you want to use it for is some lights or maybe a small radio.

    What's a fair price to ask for power washing?

    I'm wanting to add power washing to the services I offer people. The problem is, I don't know how much to charge. Does anyone know what a fair price would be to power wash a home? Would it be better to charge per hour or per square foot? Thanks, and have a great day.What's a fair price to ask for power washing?
    I would charge per foot, and bundle it or discount the price when added to other services.





    I wouldn't charge more than 15% more than it would cost the homeowner to rent the machine and do it themselves, if that's the only service you will be doing.

    Power washed deck without first using cleaner. The deck is now furry. What should I do?

    I wanted to clean the deck. I used a power washer to clean the deck. It had a lot of algae so I spent a lot of time power washing it. Now I find that I should have first used a cleaner to do most of the work. I think I over did it with the power washer. The wood looks better but is fuzzy. What should I do now. Sanding?Power washed deck without first using cleaner. The deck is now furry. What should I do?
    in addition to sanding you might want seal the wood with a water sealer. work on a small area first to see if it will need a second sanding...if so sand it and seal it twicePower washed deck without first using cleaner. The deck is now furry. What should I do?
    You're right. You power washed too much. Sanding is the best way to get rid of your ';fuzzies';. You can rent a walk behind sander at any equipment rental store. Do not get the round drum type!!!! They'll leave dips in your deck. For a nice flat finished surface, get the flat vibrater type sander. The large floor type. Good luck. Make sure your deck is completely dry before you start.
    yep you over did it with the washer. in the future turn down the pressure and alternat a stiff brush with soap and then some pressure to rinse. I would rent a floor sander to fix it up, but whatever you decide to do the clock is ticking and you need to get some sealer on there soon because the wood is raw and vulnerable to decay now.
    Sand the entire deck, coat it with finish and enjoy.
    Yep, everyone is giving good advice. I prefer a finish that has Carnauba wax in it. Pentathane is another finish you can use that has good UV protection and comes in stain shades as well as clear.

    We cleaned our deck like this : Poured alot of water a bleach and used a old broom and swiped out. It came out nice and clean. I should said lite gray almost white. Then we paint some Thomeson Deck Gloss on it and it looked good as new. Good-Luck !

    How do I remove the lumber grade markings from my new deck. I tried a sanding and power washing.?

    They will fade fairly quickly. Your wood should dry before you treat it anyway. When the grade stamps are gone, you can stain/seal the deck. Hope this helps.How do I remove the lumber grade markings from my new deck. I tried a sanding and power washing.?

    Should you power wash vinyl siding?

    I have to do mine 3 time a year (I live where algae/mold grows). Just don't use the highest pressure nozzle (the one with the tightest pattern). I bleach first and then use the wide spray nozzle. Cleans up pretty nice!Should you power wash vinyl siding?
