Here is one that we got in the works and scheduled for cleaning. Its 40,000sf building with lots of mold and mildew especially the top 4' where the roof run off is. Any suggestions?

Is it split faced or tilt wall?

Mike is right, split faced is a MAJOR PITA usually


Jeff from what he said on the phone it was smooth painted block with that being said looks to be a pretty easy job just big.

Just finished day 1 of this project. Went really well except for some minor hiccups.(Had two hoses blow on me and got stung by a bee) The top 4 feet which had the mold, mildew and algae caked on I was able to remove with a strong housewash mix sprayed via x-jet. There is still a slight shadow even after multiple applications. Gonna try a few more things but am thinking it is where the mold and algae was eating into the paint. I actually applied it from the roof after not being able to reach due to my exjet not functioning properly. Carrying 5ers up a ladder sure sucked. The rest was downstreamed. Had to spot x-jet some of the stucco areas. Have one more side of the building and some sidewalks around the area and it will be done.

Three guys+two machines+strong SH= GREAT MONEY

Great job. Did you get after pics?

That is why I use a dedicated pump. You can get exact strengths and there's no limit. Plus I can get 30-40 ft verticle.

I have a small SURFLO but it doesnt get much lift. Getting a better dedicated chem pump is next on my accessories wish list. Have the befores and going to do the afters at the same time of day tomorrow.
