There are some common misconceptions about cleaning by applying chemicals and water under pressure. Those perceptions were changed as we worked through this situation.
Jim Serowski, principal of Commerce City, Colo.-based JVS Masonry, and his masonry cleaner, Robert Copeland, have been valued customers of ours for many years. When this challenge confronted them, we welcomed the opportunity to help set up one of their two Kem-O-Kleen Masonry Cleaning Systems to suit the requirements.
First, if you are not familiar, it is important to understand how pressure in a pressure washer works. Typically, the machine's pressure is measured on a pressure gauge just after the pump. A person looks at the gauge, sees 3,000 psi, and may think that is the pressure hitting the wall. For those of you who think that, be prepared for a surprise.
The architect's stipulation was that the chemical and water needed to be applied under very low pressure.
