Call Backs!

[@Emberoutdoors]

I just found your channel and I’ve been watching every video. I’ve been washing for 2 years and doing well. But you sir have made me realize how much more I could be achieving. You are so positive and efficient. Fitting in many jobs in a day and squeezing in more between. True hustler at heart. I thought I hustled. And I do. But now I am intrigued by you and can see many ways to improve myself. Thank you!!!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Much appreciated. Welcome aboard

[@jerrymeyers2075]

I've found in the soffits that you have to keep rinsing until there is no dirt coming out of them. I experienced this on a dirty house also and just kept rinsing it with a Davis tip until there was nothing left. This could've been your problem.

[@jaredzeno]

had this today Joe, had to let it dry then mist with garden hose before we left. No matter how much rinsing we did dirt kept draining out

[@powerfulimprovements]

Ugh

[@JoshParkerWI]

Great job Joe! Yea, I am dealign with some weepers these days too!

[@toddfinn5823]

Ad cling on from pressure tech to your mix, it's a thickening agent

[@pzmqyhniq]

Great customer service, Joe! Wondering if the water fed pole held away from the siding would give you the gentle rinse you were looking for on the problematic house.?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Genius

[@Rick-kp6wf]

I deal with weeps all the time, a lot of older siding around my parts. I use a diluted LA Totally Awesome mix to get weep holes stains off without disturbing the oxidation. Works everytime

[@powerfulimprovements]

Interesting

[@AboveBeyondSoftwash]

Do you ever get the Lafferty Tip? Sounds amazing for high-end homes with no gutters.

[@powerfulimprovements]

I want one

[@aurafangz3635]

Heck of a bloody truck holy moly. Is that an X-jet you were using to rinse?

[@powerfulimprovements]

M5 ✌🏼✌🏼

[@froggiewes]

Leon Johns (Southern Style Trailer Builds) sells the complete laferty gun that will work with that X6. He’s got some videos on KZbin of him using it with roof snot.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Much appreciated

[@timmymeckes9946]

Hey Joe, Love your channel. What is the name of the foamer tip? Id like to check it out. Thanks

[@catchinfishies5765]

Can you post a link for the X6 pump please? That thing is a beast! I want one for my wash trailer

[@symplemynd57]

I did a veterinary clinic that bled junk from the siding. Just too much water being forced behind the siding.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Yep

[@Janeen-t3z]

Is the call back for a vinyl house Wash or is it the painted Hardy board, just wondering if it's the Sherwin Williams paint that has the organic pigment in the paint??

[@powerfulimprovements]

Vinyl

[@colonialfiend]

Also, key upsell, upfront, is oxidation removal. You'll never mist away those stains on oxidation AND those stains will always appear on that oxidized side. It also stinks because you can't wipe it away as it'll look worse.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Yeah. It’ll never stop

[@crazydm7th]

That is why all my reels are set up to only be used as storage. Pull off what I need connect to the connection on side of truck then I never have to worry about reels doing that, plus, never have any chemicals going through them. Safer and last a lot longer also.

[@powerfulimprovements]

You’re doing that with your roof wash pump? I do with my pressure washer

[@crazydm7th]

@@powerfulimprovements Yes all my hose reels are for storage only, roof pump, power washer, and water source hose reels, I have a dedicated hook up on the truck, for each reel, with a cap on each, that way after rinse out, I just cap them all and reel up the hoses on the reels and take off, don't have to worry about leaking with the caps, then I have a 4ft jump hose I can hook up to my softwash hookup, my pressure hookup to take the stress off the main hose, due to the sharp bend to the ground. easier and cheaper to replace a 4ft section then a 100ft

[@crazydm7th]

oh, and I use banjo cam lock fittings for water source and softwash/roof hose, with cam locks on both ends of softwash hose so I can switch between red gun, orange gun or the normal sutner softwash gun for the jrod, just depends on what I am cleaning, then I choose proper gun for the job. I also run a all flo air pump, so I can go from the red or orange gun all the way down to a pump up sprayer tip, then back up to red/orange gun, with just a twist of the valve and swap out guns, AR 45 is set up the same way, I have a dedicated reel for it also set up the same way, but I usually stick with my 5/8 hose more then the 1/2 hose

[@powerfulimprovements]

@@crazydm7th very interesting. Would love to talk

[@crazydm7th]

@@powerfulimprovements sounds good bud, just let me know if cool to call you, ill be on the Night shift for the next two weeks on a couple large jobs but Ill call you when ever

[@dridinger]

I had a bad drip one the other day. Bad brown drips over and over. I think it was built without galvanized nails. I had to use damp rags

[@codymayer6319]

I’ve had this happen on just about all the vinyl I’ve done. And the worst part is it will actually stain on me. Especially the white

[@powerfulimprovements]

Oh no

[@bobbyshay3473]

I was told u need to use like 5 to 6 percent to wash roofs and thats why u use a 12volt unless ur setup allows a stronger mix.cause if u use pressure washer a chem it only goes 2to3 percent right?let me know

[@imzaq7]

I think the streaks you are getting is the dirt that is behind the siding. When you rinse the house down, some of the dirt creates the streaks. The best way is to maybe use a pump up sprayer with the mix, and lighly mist the siding. After misting it, don't use a heavy rinse. Misting by itself should clean it up, especially if you washed the house 1 or 2 days before it, so there would be no need to rinse. It has happened to me a few times as well. I would assume using a 12 volt for it may be too much. Next time try the pump up sprayer and see how that works for you!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Great idea

[@neapropressurewashing7219]

Yes sir buddy

[@toddfinn5823]

And gotta love a house with no gutters

[@zfish]

Jeez. No post in 5 days I was getting worried. Welcome back Joe

[@powerfulimprovements]

Just too busy 5-6 a day. Everyday

[@fran73968]

saludos buen travajo

[@razur9065]

Joe, where did you get the 3 nozzle J Rod from?

[@Baysideclean_co]

I had the same problem, however after instructing the home owner to hit it with the garden hose themselves it went away without having to drive all the way back. Some customers are good that way, some I’ll never wash for again… I have naughty customer list going….

[@powerfulimprovements]

😂😂😂

[@crystalclearwindowsllc]

I was going to say don't rinse it looks great now brother

[@TheFreshRinse]

So, is the gun called X 5? I’m so confused

[@powerfulimprovements]

Yes X5

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@powerfulimprovements Makes sense now. Thanks.

[@michaelkleckner3007]

I literally am beginning to hate my brand new AR45 just because of the noise level. We've got about 6K wrapped up into the whole package deal it works amazing, 10/11 gallons a minute using Texas pressure washing mixing system remote control. We use walkie talkies to communicate and you still can't even hear each other through the walkie talkie when you're standing at the trailer, the Fresh Rinse replica trailer I might add. I'm liking that X6 Joe keep using it we'll see how the season goes...it's so quiet.

[@Tonygg102]

To the best of my knowledge, the Lafferty tip won’t work if using 12 V it has to be a gas air pump. .

[@powerfulimprovements]

Hmmm

[@Tonygg102]

I called Russ and he said no go ? I think the tip works with air flow only ? I researched this as I landed a huge condo complex roof clean and it had barn style roof with no gutters .

[@powerfulimprovements]

@ it would make sense I guess. If Russ said no then it’s no 😂

[@calklobuchar]

Can you be successful in the pressure washing business if you don’t offer roof cleaning as a service?

[@powerfulimprovements]

100%

[@MNpicker]

Cling Is A Very Good Thing!!🤓👍🏻

[@carljones3515]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@colonialfiend]

Yep, those weep hole stains are the worst. No matter how you rinse (away from the seams, etc.) Also, I turned down a roof wash today because they had gutter helmets (which runoff just pours over) and Japanese maples right under them. You're braver than me with that stain.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Crazy maybe

[@seattleprowash5464]

I did one the other day with the helmet went fine

[@bigrobbigrob7156]

👍

[@mikemovila7732]

surprised you do not have a ground guy for this project you are more of a man than me i would not do one man crew roof snow is a great surfactant

[@powerfulimprovements]

It’s hard for me to pull the occasional guy and then I don’t really need him the whole day

[@Unmployable]

If we had to go back to jobs that had weep hole stains we’d have to go back to every single one lmao. We never go back. We explain what it is and since we can’t sit there and watch the house dry they can happen at any time, we tell them of course rain will remove them but if it bothers them enough that they don’t want to wait on the rain to just simply rinse with their garden hose. Very simple.

[@stevecleans]

I use elemonator.. for 6 years… def NOT for roofs.. bug awesome for a housewash surfactant… Roof Snot.. or Southern Drawl fm Coty as Southeast to really give ya Cling…

[@JDMSoftWash]

Just had one today same color wasn’t washed in 20 years it’s very annoying lol

[@CustomPowerwash]

That house just needs some sun and rain and sun and rain and it will be fine. I’ve dealt with it several times. Misting helps though for sure.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Right on

[@justinlittle8742]

Just do like Mike. Call him a Karen and roll up the hoses

[@neapropressurewashing7219]

Run the machine at 100 psi Hardyly no run off

[@powerfulimprovements]

I’ll give it a try. Do you have an x6?

[@codykruse3556]

Why the switch to 2.1 injector?

[@powerfulimprovements]

It’s warm out now at the 2.1 typically works great

We are here

[@powerfulimprovements]

We have arrived

[@zackward5516]

What really stinks is when you break your foot and you have to teach your brother-in-law how to wash houses . That is what has happened to me this season and phone calls keep coming in .

[@powerfulimprovements]

Oh no!!

[@tonycalabrese8438]

I always worry about oxidation even though I've got it in my terms to cover my ass... "Client understands that any existing oxidation, flaws, or blemishes will be more visible after cleaning. The effects of oxidation can be noticeable only after cleaning, as it can be covered with dirt and debris. This should not be pointed out as Company’s fault after cleaning"

[@rabbitskinner]

Probably oxidised paint

[@powerfulimprovements]

Yep

[@alfredrossi5268]

It's probably the weep holes it's not your fault

[@joshuapoche5137]

Ah man thats ridiculous. That customer is just being waay to picky. At some point you just need to walk away.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Agreed

[@derrickbell3087]

Dude that customer doesn’t know anything about cleaning anything with water. You will always have those drips. They are coming from behind the siding and out the weep holes. I wash my house every year and still have them sometimes

[@oreotodd77]

The houses have done the same here. We have issues with many years of not washing the house. For most of those houses Now I use my 12v system. Plus use least amount of water. 20yrs of not washing the house is my call backs too..

[@Unsilentmajority-1]

Glad your back my friend. Now I don’t have to watch those crappy “fresh” videos…

[@powerfulimprovements]

Who?

[@simplycleanpressurewashing758]

Rain or two and that streaking is gone….I tell customers call me in a couple weeks if their not gone. They go away over time….I have that in my terms and conditions, so the customer understands. You can waste a lot of time fooling with that, but good for you for trying to make it right.
