Historic Washington Park Boathouse Prepped for the New Season with Pressure Washing by Wash On Wheels

by | May 9, 2013 | Building Pressure Washing, Waste Water Recovery

After a $1.3 million renovation completed in 2012, the historic Washington Park Boathouse just needed a good pressure washing for the 2013 wedding and special event season. But pressure washing a boathouse without letting the wastewater reach the adjoining lake takes the right procedures.

Pressure washing historic structures is not a job for the inexperienced. A professional quality power washer can damage older buildings if not used properly.

And if that historic structure is a boathouse next to a public lake in the middle of one of Denver’s most popular parks, the job is that much more challenging. The wash water can’t be allowed to run into the lake and cause environmental problems.

Water recovery has become a major part of professional pressure washing. With the 2010 Clean Water Action Plan, an EPA update to the Clean Water Act, pressure washing companies had to raise their quality level to comply. In July of 2010, Colorado wrote their new guidance policies to comply with the updated EPA regulations. These documents are available on the Stormwater Regulations page of washonwheels.net.

Cleaning buildings like this without breaking the bank takes efficient procedures and experienced crews. That level of efficiency doesn’t happen overnight. But the learning should be done long before working on historic structures.”
