Great question! The terms "dry steam" and "wet steam" refer to two different pressure washing techniques, each suited for specific cleaning needs:
At Veterans Power Wash, we assess your property’s material, fleet type & stain type to choose the safest, most effective method. For example, we’d use dry steam for a historic wood deck but wet steam for an oil-stained parking lot.
Regular cleaning prevents long-term damage and maintains curb appeal. Here’s our general guideline:
Soft washing is our gentle yet powerful cleaning method that uses low-pressure (under 500 PSI, like a garden hose) and eco-friendly solutions to safely remove algae, mold, and mildew from roofs, siding, decks, and other delicate surfaces. Our custom-mixed treatments kill growth at the root for longer-lasting results, while our protective measures safeguard your landscaping. Perfect for asphalt shingles, vinyl siding, stucco, wood, and painted surfaces, this technique cleans thoroughly without the damage risks of high-pressure washing. We adapt to your property's needs and water source requirements for a flawless, worry-free clean.
We ONLY soft wash roofs - NEVER pressure wash them. Our approved soft wash method follows ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) guidelines to safely clean without damage. This gentle process removes algae, mold, and fungi that cause black streaks, reduce your roof's lifespan, and increase energy costs. Our 100% biodegradable solution penetrates deep to eliminate contaminants at the root, with results lasting 2-3 years. For heavy buildup, we'll rinse thoroughly; for lighter cases, we may let rain naturally remove residues (we'll advise you on-site). This is the safest, most effective way to protect your roof's longevity.
In Edmonton’s extreme climate, pressure washing and sealing your concrete driveway is a smart defense against winter’s brutal toll. Freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and ice-melting chemicals relentlessly attack unsealed concrete, causing cracks, spalling, and expensive damage. Our professional pressure washing (2,500–3,000 PSI) blasts away embedded salt residue, oil stains, and grime, while our heavy-duty sealant—formulated for Alberta winters—locks out moisture, prevents freeze-thaw damage, and resists de-icing salts. Sealed concrete stays 2–3x stronger, reduces hazardous ice buildup, and keeps its like-new appearance despite -40°C swings. Plus, it cuts long-term repair costs and boosts curb appeal. For best results, schedule cleaning and sealing between May and September (above 10°C for proper curing). Don’t wait until winter exposes weak spots - protect your driveway now and save thousands over time.
Yes, solar panel cleaning is necessary in Edmonton to maintain peak efficiency - especially after winter. Dust, pollen, bird droppings, and snowmelt residue can block sunlight, reducing energy output by 15-30%. Our hard water and frequent dust storms further accelerate grime buildup. Regular cleaning (1-2 times/year) ensures maximum power generation and protects your investment. We use soft washing (no abrasive pressure) and deionized water to prevent mineral streaks.
