3 Pressure Washing Tips the Pro's Use to Get the Best Results Every Time!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter strongly advises against pressure washing second-story houses that have wood roofs. When a wood roof gets wet, it becomes extremely slippery, turning into a 'slip 'n slide.' This poses a severe fall hazard, as experienced personally by the presenter (who caught himself on a gutter) and by two of his employees. Walking or standing on a wet wood roof, especially for the purpose of pressure washing, creates a major liability issue due to the high risk of serious injury from falls.

Goal: Understand the significant safety risks of pressure washing wooden roofs, particularly when they become wet and slippery.
