Slidell Based Exterior Cleaning Company Offers Safety-First Preparation Tips For Homeowners Before Service Day
Slidell, United States - July 7, 2025 / Pressure Washing Marketing Pros /
Keeping on top of home maintenance isn’t easy, which is why it makes sense to hire professionals for tasks like exterior cleaning. However, that leaves homeowners wondering about preparing their homes for pressure washing and whether it’s even necessary.
To that end, the team at Hero Powerwash & Striping has released a new blog post, “How to Prepare Your Home for Pressure Washing in Slidell, LA,” to help local homeowners get the most value from their service with practical, safety-first preparation tips.
Why Preparation Matters
It’s always a good idea to take a few preparatory steps before the professionals arrive. If homeowners don’t move obstacles, the team might not be able to reach all the surfaces safely.
Homeowners should remove potted plants, outdoor furniture, and other decorative items to prevent damage to their property. Pressure washers can produce a force of around 3,000 PSI, which is enough to shatter glass and chip concrete.
The force of the spray will drive water into electrical outlets, making it important to seal them carefully before the team arrives. Finally, it’s a good idea for people to water their gardens beforehand. This isn’t for debris removal, but rather to dilute any spills of the chemical pretreatment.
Key Tips for Homeowners
Hero Powerwash & Striping has these tips for preparing homes for pressure washing :
- Clearing the work area: Move vehicles, patio furniture and décor.
- Securing windows and doors: Prevent leaks or water intrusion with proper sealing.
- Protecting plants and electrical outlets: Homeowners can cover outlets with duct tape. Tarps make for great vegetation protection for expensive plants.
- Communicating special concerns: Property owners should discuss issues like delicate paint or recent repairs during the siding inspection.
“Proper preparation doesn’t just protect the home; it ensures our team can deliver the most thorough and safe cleaning possible,” said Isaac Jones, Founder of Hero Powerwash & Striping.
Aligning With Industry Best Practices
These steps for preparing homes for pressure washing align with the broader industry safety protocols. The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors' guidelines show property owners how thorough these evaluations are when it comes to selling a home.
There are at least 10 points that inspectors check when it comes to potential moisture sources that speed up mold growth, making proper cleaning and preparation essential.
Local Relevance and Service Area
Many Slidell properties feature wood, vinyl, or brick exteriors, each of which requires a different cleaning approach. This makes preparing homes for pressure washing even more important because it allows the team to focus on eliminating the dirt.
Hero Powerwash & Striping consists of local technicians who know how to handle the challenges of Louisiana’s climate. They understand how mold and mildew thrive in the heat and humidity, and provide the ideal antidote.
“Educating our clients on how to prep not only improves the outcome but also builds trust in our process.” — Isaac Jones, Hero Powerwash & Striping
