Real Customer Story: From Facebook Find To Freshly Cleaned Driveway

A homeowner in Alexandria recently reached out after buying a pressure washer from Facebook Marketplace. He’d been inspired to spruce up his home’s exterior- driveway, siding, even the back patio- and thought buying a used pressure washer would be a smart move. It started up fine when he tested it, but after bringing it home and giving it a real run, things went downhill fast.

The pressure would build up and then suddenly drop off. It was frustrating- and just when he was ready to start his cleanup.

He gave us a call, and we came out the next day. After a full diagnostic, we traced the issue to a faulty unloader valve in the pressure system. We sourced the part, got it ordered that same day, and within the week, he was back to blasting grime and getting results.

Common Pressure Washer Problems We Fix

Won’t start or hard starting
Weak or inconsistent water pressure
