pressure washing disclaimer for you.
« on: August 03, 2009, 10:24:54 am »
hi guys found this disclaimer for you, just copy and paste it and change your words.

Safety First
High pressure washing uses no hazardous chemicals and is environmentally friendly but for your safety please attend to the following while cleaning is taking place.
•   Keep a safe distance during cleaning.
•   Remove all vehicles from the vicinity.
•   Keep children and pets inside.
•   Be aware that there will be cables and hoses on the ground so as to avoid tripping.
•   Wet surfaces may be slippery.
•   Please inform visitors to your  property that cleaning is taking place.
•    The  operation of washing machines and dishwashers or any appliances that use mains water may be adversely affected during cleaning as the cleaning machine needs a steady feed from the mains water supply for the duration of the cleaning process
•   Spray from the cleaning process  may land on surfaces such as windows and doors and on plants and garden furnishings depending on the cleaning tool being used. Also spray borne sand particles may adhere to surfaces even after rinsing, these can easily be removed with a soft cloth when dry.
•   If connecting to an inside tap it is the customers responsibility to monitor that the connection is not leaking into the property.
•   Please inform the operator if there are any problems with drainage from your property or of any likelihood that water may penetrate door or window seals or drain onto a neighbouring property

Things To Be Aware Of .

If you have decided to re-sand your block paving yourself, failure to do so may affect the stability of your paving and allow early re-growth of weeds.
Some surfaces may require sustained treatment by high pressure devices to obtain a satisfactory clean.  Occasionally the very high pressures put out by these devices can damage the surface finish of some paving or concrete and often removes any existing grouting. Some natural stone products are susceptible to shearing owing to their laminate structure. Pointing and grouting are susceptible to damage as are some Tarmac surfaces. High pressure jets can damage some wooden surfaces and a test area is recommended before work commences.
Pressure washing can contribute towards subsidence of paving in areas that are susceptible particularly where paving has been poorly installed on insufficient or poorly compacted hardcore.  Efflorescence ( a temporary white powdery appearance) may appear on some surfaces.

We  usually achieves the complete removal of grime moss and algae and oil stains but the removal of mortar stains and other ingrained staining such as rust staining or discolouration due to chemical changes and some forms of deeply imbedded lichen staining within the concrete ( particularly common on block paving and noticeable on close inspection, as small black spots around the  brick chamfers )or fading due to age and the action of the weather cannot be guaranteed .We will only use chemical agents such as brick acids, bleaching agents, detergents and degreasers with the agreement  of the customer and at the customers own risk.

The cleaning process will remove weeds and grass from paving but these may return if not treated with a systemic weed killer such as Roundup

Please be aware of the above possibilities and that  (Name of company) accept no responsibility should they occur and that cleaning will take place entirely at the customers own risk.

I have read and understood the above.

i would have thought you would want something that said something like the work is always of a proffessional standard but some drives do finish to a different standard than others depending on how good they were built in the first place.
