Why Pressure Wash Your House?

How do our contractors prepare your house for pressure washing

How Fonster choose the right pressure washer for your house.

Depending on the surface type and the level of grime you can work with a pressure washer in the range of 1300 to 2000 PSI. The exterior material matters, brick handles higher PSI while wood and aluminium are more delicate and need lower pressure.

Soft Washing vs High Pressure

Soft washing (low pressure + cleaning solution):

High pressure washing:

Always start with a lower pressure and use a fan tip nozzle and maintain a safe distance (20 to 30cm) between the wand and surface you are cleaning, this reduces the risk of damage especially on softer materials.

We assess your home's specific needs and adjust pressure accordingly—one size doesn't fit all

How Often Should You Pressure Wash Your House?

General recommendation would be to pressure wash your house every 12-24 months, depending on your area, climate, and other factors. If you live in a coastal area, you may want to pressure wash your house more frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can pressure washing damage my house walls or paint?

No, when done correctly. House pressure washing uses lower pressure levels and the correct nozzles to safely clean exterior walls without damaging paint, plaster, or cladding. Different wall materials are assessed before cleaning begins.

What types of house exteriors can be pressure washed?

Most exterior surfaces can be cleaned, including painted walls, plaster, brick, face brick, stone cladding, fibre cement, and certain types of siding. The cleaning method is adjusted based on the surface type and condition.

Is pressure washing safe for older homes?

Yes, but extra care is required. Older homes may have more delicate finishes or aging paintwork. Lower pressure settings and controlled techniques are used to avoid unnecessary wear or damage.

Will pressure washing remove mould, algae, and dirt from walls?

Yes. Pressure washing is very effective at removing mould, algae, mildew, dust, and built-up grime from exterior walls, especially in shaded or damp areas.

How long does house pressure washing take?

Most residential homes can be pressure washed within 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the property, the height of the walls, and the level of dirt or organic buildup.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

In most cases, no. As long as there is access to the property and a water supply, the cleaning can be completed while you're away. Many customers communicate and receive updates via WhatsApp.

How often should house walls be pressure washed?

Most homes benefit from pressure washing every 18 to 24 months. Properties exposed to heavy rain, shade, trees, or coastal air may require more frequent cleaning to prevent algae buildup.

How much does house pressure washing cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the home, wall height, surface type, and level of buildup. A clear, no-obligation quote is provided after a quick assessment.
