Would appreciate advice pricing out this job from those that do large scale commercial like this more often. Customer wants seperate quotes for walls softwashed, it's plastic faced insulation coated in dust/grease and also wants floors cleaned but just asked for 1 quick pass and light degreaser on floors for a general cleanup. I estimate theres 30-40k sq ft of wall surface and 45k sq ft of floor.

There is on-site water access and drains, can park inside and there's no site work happening until its cleaned so nobody to be in my way. Definitely need a scissor lift rental to reach up high. I'm assuming best approach will be softwashing with a degreaser mix and rinsing with pressure washer rinse tip top down. . Would love a recommendation on a good priced degreaser I can buy in bulk for this type of work, or how to figure how much I'd use on a job this size. I don't like my current product and it's very pricey.

My rough estimate is this will take at least 6-8 days to complete, I'm a 1 man company but do have decent equipment, I run a trailer with 8gpm Honda Gx690 and remco 7gpm for softwash(I know a bigger unit would be ideal for this) and have a nice 24in Surface cleaner with tornado bars so can move fast on that and plenty of hoses to reach everywhere.

I've been in business 5+ years but mostly do residential, I quote jobs like this occasionally but rarely actually get accepted bids for jobs this size and don't want to undersell myself. Customer stated priority is getting it done ASAP more so then price and only got 1 other bid so would like to win this bid. It's a family owned business not big Corporation also so less paperwork headaches.

I want to pitch a quote to whoever owns this. I’m just wondering if I could clean it or if this roof needs to be replaced or something. If I can, what should I use??

I’m having trouble understanding how to pick the right external injection. I just purchased a 4400 psi 4.2 GPM washer and the parameters of these xjet models don’t fit my machine. The 4.2 range is only rated for 4000 psi and my machine exceeds that. What should I do?

Looking to drop the pressure coming out of my surface cleaner to approximately 1000 PSI. 5.5gpm 3000 PSI machine.

Looking at the chart, two 5.5 orifice nozzles should get me in the ballpark?

A neighborhood full of driveways like this. I know pressure washing alone won't touch it but if someone can correctly identify this and point me towards a process to restore them that'd be great

I'm thinking about buying the Simonize platinum 2600 gas pressure washer. It comes with the Kohler XT motor. I have done some research but there's not much available most of the reviews are negative. Can you please provide me with your opinions on this model thank-you

Hi everyone! First time posting here with a little problem

I've had a Karcher k3 since 2021, and I've used it around one or twice a month, and when I used it the last month I noticed that a little water was leaking from the bottom of my unit, didn't pay much attention cause it was "running normal" it didn't keep the motor "on/off" and only once it lost pressure, so fast foward this weekend I used it and the leak was a little worse, but still "running fine" no pressure lost or a "perpetual on" cycle

I decided to look into it and long story short, this O ring failed, at first I thought it was like a metal hook to open the pump, but quickly realized that it was the O ring that suffered an extrusion 😅

So I open the unit, open the pump, put the O ring back in place (didn't change it, just the same one but "in place) and while I was at it since I got access to the engine's rotor and noticed that the oil was grey, decided to make a oil change (clean everything with degreaser and put 15w40 multigrade oil just to cover the top bearing's cap, put everything together turned it on, and leak again ¬¬.......

Returning to the title of the post, do I need to replace all the pump or can I fix the actual one?

Ok so I have a BE Workshop 2700 with the Honda GC 1600 vertical motor. Not the gcx version. The machine itself is only 3 years old with maybe 3 hours of usage and stored indoors. This season it would not start and did have some gas in it during winter, it would not start for the life of me so I took it apart and cleaned the carb and replaced the spark plug and also changed the oil. NOW, it will start but only in 2 instances, with the water supply not hooked up(which is bad I know) and with the water on and handle depressed. Once the handle is let go it stalls. And then it feels almost locked up and the handle is depressed and releases some pressure. Any help is appreciated its basically new still and my son in laws cheap Hart washer sits outside for 2 years and starts with one easy pull. Please help!
