Question 1

Is pressure washing safe for stucco and siding?

Accepted Answer

High pressure is not, which is why we soft wash those. Soft washing uses low pressure and the right cleaning solution to lift algae and grime without forcing water behind siding or stripping paint and seals. Hard surfaces like concrete get the rotary cleaner; walls do not.

Question 2

What are those stripes on my driveway from last time?

Accepted Answer

Wand marks, from cleaning with a pressure wand rather than a rotary surface cleaner. The wand cleans in overlapping arcs and leaves the pattern behind. A surface cleaner covers evenly, so the finish is uniform.

Question 3

Do I need sealing, or just cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning is the necessary part; sealing is the part that makes it last. On pavers and porous concrete a seal slows down staining and keeps joint sand in place. We will tell you when it is worth it and when it is not.

Question 4

Will you get out oil and rust stains?

Accepted Answer

Usually improved, sometimes fully. It depends how long it has been sitting and how porous the surface is. We treat them specifically rather than hoping pressure alone will do it, and we would rather set your expectations before we start than after.

Question 5

What areas does RadPad serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve San Diego and the surrounding communities across San Diego County. If you are near the edge of our map, call and we will tell you straight whether we can get to you.

Question 6

Do I need to be home during the service?

No. For most exterior work we only need access to the property and an outdoor water spigot. We will confirm the details when we schedule and send photos when the work is complete.
