High-pressure Water Jetting

High-pressure water jetting, also called hydrojetting, is a variation in which the pressure can be significantly higher (up to 1,400 bars (20,000 psi)) than consumer models, and is sufficiently hazardous that special precautions are necessary for acceptable safety. High-pressure water jetting also has applications in cutting a wide range of materials with very low heat input or dust production, and can be effective underwater.

Some advantages of this technology for use in the oil and gas production industry are that it has a low fire and explosion hazard and the waste products are relatively easy to dispose of. It is used for cleaning tanks, pipes, sieves, filters and heat exchangers, for removal of coatings, corrosion products, scale, old paint, burned materials, biological fouling, and many insoluble substances, with little or no damage to the substrate when the appropriate pressure is used. These procedures can be done above and under water.

Pressure Washer Nozzles


Pressure washer nozzles alter the direction of flow and velocity of the water. Nozzles allow users to reach a greater distance or apply more pressure to a difficult-to-clean surface. Nozzles are color-coded for easy identification, with black nozzles covering the widest degree (65°) and red nozzles covering the least (0°). Great care should be taken when using a 0° nozzle as it can cause injury to both the user and passersby, as well as damage to surfaces. Nozzles are sized based on the flow rate (GPM) and delivery pressure (PSI) of the machine.

The Importance of Pressure Washing Walkways to Prevent Slips and Falls

Walkways are more than just a path leading to our homes or businesses; they serve as critical connectors in our day-to-day lives. Over time, however, these surfaces accumulate dirt, mold, algae, and mildew that not only mar their appearance but also pose a significant safety hazard. Slippery walkways can lead to unexpected slips and falls, potentially resulting in injuries or costly liability claims. Regular pressure washing is an effective method to address this risk.

1. Reduces Hazardous Slippery Build-Up
Moisture, combined with shade and natural debris, creates an ideal environment for algae, mold, and mildew growth. These organic materials can make surfaces slick, especially after rainfall or in damp conditions. Pressure washing effectively blasts away these hazardous substances, restoring the texture of the walkway and reducing the chances of slipping.

2. Prevents Surface Deterioration
Over time, contaminants build up and can lead to wear on walkway surfaces, contributing to cracks, stains, and uneven textures. Regular pressure washing helps prevent such damage by removing harmful substances before they penetrate deeper, extending the life and stability of the path.

3. Improves Aesthetic Appeal and Property Value
A clean walkway immediately boosts curb appeal and can even increase property value. Pressure washing removes dark stains, brightening up surfaces to give a more inviting and professional appearance to your home or business.

4. Cost-Effective Maintenance
Investing in routine pressure washing is a cost-effective preventive measure. It helps avoid expensive repairs, resurfacing, or potential liability claims associated with slip-and-fall incidents. 

In conclusion, regular pressure washing is not just about maintaining appearances; it’s a practical and essential safety measure. By keeping walkways free from slippery substances, property owners can create a safer, more attractive, and longer-lasting pathway for everyone.

Sweet Old Lady Slipped On Slimy Steps (Oddly Satisfying Pressure Washing)


This was free work, so I only get paid if you watch & like the video! Free cleanup to keep an older neighbor safe. Only water was used in the cleaning as bleach can mix poorly with many types of wood (this was probably southern pressure treated pine). We also covered before hand that my work would ruin the staining someone had done long ago and leave a splotchy finish, but as they had plans to paint it later on, it was not a concern.
