Pressure Wash Roof Eaves

Video Transcript

Hello! My name is Grady Johnson and I'm a professional painter, and today I represent expertvillage.com. Now we're going to talk a little bit about pressure washing these exterior eaves. Today I'm just going to use an electric pressure washer. There are gas powered pressure washers that have a lot of force on them, but for this job. This was painted about 3-5 years ago so it's not going to be that bad. I'm just going to wash everything down with a good electric pressure washer. This pressure washer has about 1200 PSI, and it's not really designed for knocking off paint chips. It's more designed for just cleaning everything up. What pressure washing does is it's going to clean off all that old chalking off of there and get rid of these old cob webs and stuff too. Basically, just clean up the surface. These are really easy to turn on, It's just a button in the back back right here. Push the button and you're going to hear it whirl up. That means the pressure is good. A few settings that you're going to need today are the...First of all, the first one is the one that you're probably most familiar with, the needle nose. The needle nose is the sharp cutting edge that's going to shoot it in there and take off any peeling stuff that you might run across. Hopefully, we won't see too much of that today because this surface isn't pretty well. We're going to kind of set our setting for something that will cut a little bit into it and clean it up, but that'll cover a little bit of area. It's just a manner this wand tip to where you want it. I recommend about a 15 degree angle, and that's about right. Once you have that set, you want to go ahead and get started. You don't want to go all the way over to the wide fan. It's not going to have hardly any pressure and it's really just designed for chlorine bleach for cleaning up decks, which we're not doing today. When you're doing this, you want to get up and get all of the eave. That's every single little nook and crepe. That's the backside like this, this way, that way, and you work it a little something like this. Then you turn it around and do the reverse side. Go ahead and turn around and get the backside too. Then just tidy up the rest. Once you've got all that, just do the fascia and bring it on down. You want to continue working this way all the way down the eaves. This how you pressure wash the exterior eaves on your house.
