Authorizations:

The Client agrees to allow NW Pressure Washing Service on the property for the purposes of completing the services described in the estimate and/or invoice.
The Client understands that the service(s) may be completed in the timeframe given during the estimate. However, there could be circumstances where the date of service needs to be postponed or extended due to weather, or the project is more extensive than expected. During these situations the company will schedule the service to be completed during the next available service date.
NW Pressure Washing Service also has the permission to visit the property to assess service requirements prior to the date of service, as well as to assess quality of work after the job has completed.

Water Usage:

Client agrees to allow NW Pressure Washing Service to use their residential and/or commercial water source via outdoor spigot, which will be turned on and easily accessible during the desired service date.
If on well water, or if the client has low water pressure or volume, client agrees to inform the NW Pressure Washing Service before the service date and will avoid using any water during the cleaning service, to ensure a proper cleaning of the desired area.
NW Pressure Washing Service does not use the property owners power as our equipment is gas powered. We only use a spigot for water.
To ensure our quality of service, all technicians are required to take before and after photos. NW Pressure Washing Service will not be held accountable for previously damaged spigots. Client will be informed of any previously noted damage. NW Pressure Washing Service will not be held accountable for any issues within or outside the home that is not related to the cleaning service.

Risks and Releases of Liability Acknowledgement:

NW Pressure Washing Service uses safe techniques with the use of low pressure (Softwash) on delicate surfaces such as siding. Damage can still occur to any delicate surface due to poor maintenance, neglect to the property and or lower grade building materials.
Prior to washing, any areas of concern need to be addressed by the homeowner to insure a watertight seal. This will prevent damage. The homeowner assumes all the risks and takes responsibility for any damage that occurs due to improper maintenance.
On the date of service, the company will note any pre-existing damage and take photos of noted damage.
If any new damage is found during the cleaning process, the company will cease all cleaning efforts until the client can see the damage and acknowledge its existence.
Client understands that NW Pressure Washing Service has set procedures to ensure plant life around the area of cleaning is protected. Client understands that any cleaning scheduled during midday could lead to the potential for leaf burn as water can get on the plants during the cleaning process. If any issues arise with plants around the cleaning area, the company will evaluate and inform the client.

Exterior Cleaning Acknowledgement:

Client understands that any blemish or flaw or any existing oxidation will be more noticeable after cleaning. Vinyl siding that has not been maintained or has constant sun exposure may be susceptible to oxidation. Signs of oxidation are as follows: chalky white powder on siding and the clear luster removed. Please understand if your property suffers from oxidation, you may see this more clearly after a cleaning.
If you have vinyl siding, you also have drain/ventilation holes called weep holes. These holes are made by the manufacturer to allow ventilation and condensation to drain out. However, these holes get clogged with bugs, debris, dirt etc. When we do the cleaning, our solution pulls out the dirt and debris. During the drying process the left over debris and water can drain from these holes and look like dirt residue running down. This normally occurs on sections of siding that have the heaviest buildup of grime. This will come off with the morning dew, garden hose or rain. It is not a stain and it is not permanent. If the weep hole runs are heavy, we will return to do a full rinse down after a visual inspection.
Client understands that we require that all outside electrical outlets and fixtures are shut off before arrival to complete washing service as an additional precaution.
Client also understands that if the estimate is provided site unseen and based off provided photos or use of aerial photographs, that we will not be able to note any flaws in exterior surfaces. If we do a site unseen estimate, client understands we are not liable for any unacknowledged flaw and will do our best to point this out at date of cleaning.
Client also understands that detergents are designed for our cleaning services and will not cause damage to the siding.
A basic window wash rinse will be provided to get debris off windows but you could be left with water spots. We do not provide a window cleaning service.
We recommend removing screens to allow any debris between the windows and screens to be rinsed clean. Company does not remove screens and it is the client's responsibility to remove any screens.

Video Cameras and other Electrical Equipment:

We do not want to risk damaging any video camera equipment while doing the exterior cleaning. Please remove your security cameras before your scheduled service date.

Video cameras and electrical equipment must be removed prior to cleaning. This is sensitive equipment that can be damaged easily.
If the Client does not remove video cameras and equipment, NW Pressure Washing Service is not liable for any damages that incur to this equipment.
If the cameras are not removed, the technician on the day of service will cover all cameras to the best of their ability, however there is no guarantee that water and or detergent will not get on the device(s).
The Client understands that if they choose not to remove any electrical equipment including video cameras, wiring, and cabling, that damages can possibly occur to their equipment.
