Pressure Soft Wash

About Pressure Soft Wash

Grays Harbor's rain, eighty-some inches of it most years, keeps Pressure Soft Wash busy rinsing moss and algae off siding and walkways near where the Wishkah meets the Chehalis on its way out to the harbor. Winter flips the job around: instead of washing water onto a surface, the crew clears it off, working driveways and walkways free of the wet snow that shows up a few times most winters and freezes hard the first clear night after. The same attention that goes into knowing which walkway holds standing water in July goes into knowing which one turns to a sheet of ice in January, and the crew treats both as related problems. Aberdeen doesn't get much practice with snow, so a clean, dry set of steps in the middle of a cold snap tends to get noticed. The pressure washer stays quiet those mornings, but the instinct behind it is the same: leave the surface better than the weather left it.
