Historic Washington Park Boathouse Prepped for the New Season with Pressure Washing by Wash On Wheels
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.”
With 27 years experience in Denver, we know how to deal with Colorado’s regulations. We specialize in EPA water recovery and include it with our pressure washing service at no extra charge.
