House Washing & Soft Washing Questions
Where can I get house soft-washing services in Charleston County?
Water Wizards Power Washing offers professional house soft-washing services throughout Charleston County and the surrounding Lowcountry. Our soft-washing process safely removes mold, algae, and organic buildup using low pressure and eco-friendly cleaning solutions designed for Charleston’s climate.
What is soft washing and how is it different from pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove mold, algae, and bacteria from surfaces like siding and roofs. Pressure washing uses higher pressure and is typically reserved for hard surfaces such as concrete and driveways. We choose the safest method based on the surface being cleaned.
Pressure Washing & Power Washing Questions
Can I get pressure washing for my driveway in Charleston County?
Yes. We provide professional pressure washing and power washing for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other concrete surfaces throughout Charleston County. Our process removes black mold, algae, and staining while protecting the surface from damage.
What’s the difference between pressure washing and power washing?
Pressure washing and power washing are often used interchangeably and both refer to cleaning with pressurized water. The real difference comes down to a company’s equipment, setup, and cleaning process. At Water Wizards Power Washing, we use a power washing approach that often incorporates soft washing techniques to safely clean different surfaces and achieve longer-lasting results without unnecessary pressure
Roof, Gutter & Specialty Cleaning Questions
How often should I get my roof cleaned in the Lowcountry?
There’s no one-size-fits-all schedule. How often a roof needs cleaning depends on sun exposure, shade, tree coverage, debris buildup, and airflow. Roofs with heavy shade or visible black streaks or discoloration typically require more frequent cleaning (E.g., James Island, West Ashley, North Charleston, areas with many live oaks or trees), while roofs with full sun and little debris may require less frequent cleaning. (Like Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, and beachfront properties) Many homeowners also choose to follow their insurance company’s roof maintenance guidelines, as coverage decisions can depend on proper upkeep.
You can always text or email photos to Water Wizards for more accurate information based on location, build-up, and roof type.
