Water Management & Drainage

One of the key considerations when pressure washing is managing the flow and direction of water. When using a pressure washer, it is important to direct the water flow away from buildings, vehicles, and other structures to prevent damage. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the surrounding area and ensure that water is not flowing into areas where it could cause damage or create safety hazards.

Another important consideration when pressure washing is managing drainage. When pressure washing, it is important to ensure that the water is being directed into appropriate drainage systems, such as storm drains or channels, rather than flowing into areas where it could cause damage or create safety hazards. It is also important to ensure that the drainage systems are functioning properly and are not blocked, to prevent water from overflowing or pooling in unwanted areas.

When pressure washing a surface, it is important to be aware of the slope of the surface, as well as the surrounding area, to ensure that water is flowing away from buildings and other structures. You should also be careful to avoid creating puddles or pools of water, as these can become slippery and create a safety hazard.

To comply with local regulations, it is important to be aware of any regulations and requirements related to water and drainage when pressure washing. Some areas may have specific regulations related to the discharge of water, while others may require permits or inspections to ensure that water is being properly managed and directed.
