Frequently Asked Questions About Hydro Exterior Cleaning
What areas do you serve?
We proudly service residential and commercial clients across the Townsville, Ayr, and Bowen regions. If you are located just outside these boundaries, reach out via our online form to see if we can accommodate your property.
What is the difference between pressure cleaning and soft washing?
Pressure Washing: Uses high-pressure water (often up to 4000 PSI) to physically blast away dirt and grime. It is best for durable surfaces like concrete driveways, brick, and stone.
Soft Washing: Uses low pressure (under 500 PSI, similar to a strong garden hose) combined with specialized, eco-friendly cleaning solutions to kill organic growths at the root. It is the industry-standard for roofs and vinyl siding.
Will the cleaning solutions damage my garden or lawn?
We prioritise environmental protection by taking careful site precautions to minimise risks to your landscaping. We pre-wet and rinse down surrounding foliage to dilute the solutions.
What is surface oxidation, and how does it impact the wash?
Prolonged UV exposure causes painted surfaces and vinyl siding to oxidise, leaving a chalky residue. Gentle low-pressure cleaning can wash away this chalky dust layer, which occasionally reveals pre-existing paint blemishes or fading that was hidden underneath.
Do I need to be home while you wash my property?
No, you do not need to be at home, provided we have clear access to the entire exterior of the building, all gates are unlocked, and a working outdoor water supply is accessible. We ask that all doors and windows remain tightly closed for the duration of the service.
How do you calculate your service quotes?
Quotes are customised based on the total surface area, the specific material types (e.g., brick, vinyl, tin, concrete), the structural accessibility, and the severity of the mould or grime accumulation. You can request a fast estimate via our Hydro Exterior Cleaning Contact Page.
What happens if it rains on the day of my scheduled clean?
Light rain does not impact our exterior washing services. If severe weather, high winds, or heavy tropical downpours present safety hazards for roof work, we will promptly contact you to reschedule your service for the next available clear day
Are you fully insured to operate on my property?
Yes, Hydro Exterior Cleaning is fully insured to provide complete peace of mind across all residential and commercial exterior cleaning projects.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
Those black streaks aren't just dirt; they are Gloeocapsa magma, a type of airborne algae. Soft washing is the only safe and effective way to kill and remove them without damaging the Roof.
Will washing my house damage my windows?
You should not use high pressure on windows. Glass and window seals are fragile; we clean them using low-pressure soft washing techniques to avoid breaking seals or scratching the glass.
