Having been in the pressure washing business for some time know; a few decades. I have come to the realization that most pressure washing companies are missing many lucrative markets; market segments, which are uncommon but not unprofitable. Here are some ideas, which can help you in your pressure washer business if you wish to increase sales and expand your business.Contrary to what its name suggests, the Texas Lemon Law is not a legislation that deals with the buying and selling of fruits or .....
Lumber Industry & Services
Some pressure washing companies wash heavy equipment for many U.S. and Canadian timber companies, lumber mills, and logging trucking companies. We recommend that you paint your equipment a bright and safe color; our equipment is painted safety yellow and our crews have worked in and around the timber industry, so we realize the importance to stay "heads-up" in work zone, as well as out of the way of the massive equipment we are cleaning while they are in operation. You should take a similar approach and mindset to safety when working pressure washing in the lumber or timber industry.
Many times you will need to work weekends cleaning equipment so that you are undisturbed. This is also good for the timber or lumber company since they you don't have to worry about another crew in the yard. You may be asked to clean and work on cranes loading rail cars, barges moving timber down the river and steam cleaning mills. There are many lare companies in this industry such as Boise-Cascade, Potlatch and Mead Paper. Logging trucks are also good accounts, some are owned by fleet companies and others by independent operators.
Drainage Ditches
As you know, the county flood control, districts, EPA and State's NPDES permits require that you meet all required code; otherwise you can't work. Once the authorities know you can clean without polluting you will find they also have lots of work to be done. Debris and dirt in cement ditches must be removed and the organic material flushed out to keep the drainage clean and clear. When inspectors show up and find a dust free excavated field, clear drainage ditches, hay bales in strategic locations and cement cutters installed, they'll smile, take a cup of coffee and leave you alone. Then they will take your business card and pass it around the public agencies for more work. Government work although it is riddled with paper work and regulation and they are extremely slow to pay their bills can in fact be good for fill in busy work on long-term contracts.
Dairy Industry Cleaning
In your pressure washing business you might find you can help dairies and independent distributors with all their cleaning needs. You can steam clean costly pasteurization equipment using corrosion resistant soaps on a routine preventative wash maintenance schedule. Make sure all of your products meet USDA inspector codes and are FDA approved. The easiest way for the Dairy Industry to keep from being milked by the FDA, USDA, EPA, OSHA, and animal rights groups is to run a tight ship. You will also find lots of work cleaning facility forklifts, delivery trucks, buildings, and equipment. Make this one of your market niche specialties. Here is a link to a reclaim system called a vacu-boom, which we use. You might use something similar in your pressure washing company. With livestock all around it is imperative that your reclaim your water for the health of the animals and our food supply.
