Pressure washing job notes that survive the next truck
The expensive mistakes on a wash job are usually local: the shutoff nobody can find, the siding that etches, the neighbor who complains about spray. That knowledge should live on the property, not in one tech’s camera roll.

Pressure washing looks simple from the street and is specific on the ground. Water access, hose runs, surface mix, plants the owner cares about, and which chemical this house can take are learned the hard way. When a different crew returns, they spend the first twenty minutes reconstructing what the last visit already knew.
What the last wash crew should leave behind
Water access and shutoffs
Spigot is behind the fake rock on the north bed. House shutoff in the crawlspace if you need it. HOA will ticket a truck in the cul-de-sac after 8. Put the photo and the note on the job so the next crew is not walking the property with a flashlight.
Surfaces and equipment
Soft wash the cedar. 25° on the driveway only. Last crew etched a patch under the dining-room window using too much pressure. Attach the surface notes and the tip/chemical list this site actually required.
Customer property instructions
Cover the Tesla. Don’t wash the rusted trailer. Dog door stays closed. Gutters were cleaned last fall — skip unless asked. Photos of “before we start” and the covered car save an argument later.
How SiteSight holds a pressure-washing job
Job information stores water access, parking, and the owner’s standing rules.
Equipment lists keep tips, chemicals, surface cleaners, and extra hose for this lot.
Hazard notes record slick algae, electrical, pets, and slopes the last crew flagged. That is a record of what people found — not a permit to wash.
SOPs attach how this company treats wood vs concrete vs painted siding.
Notes and photos keep shutoff locations, before/after, and “don’t hit this planter.”
Weather next to the job (with a company weather key) is a convenience so crews are not flipping between apps. It does not tell you the work is allowed.
Pressure-washing details that belong on the job
Water access
Spigots, well vs city, hose length, where you actually connected last time.
Shutoffs
House and irrigation shutoffs for when a fitting fails.
Surfaces
Wood, paint, oxidized metal, stamped concrete — what this property is made of.
Customer instructions
Cars, pets, plants, hours, neighbors, what not to touch.
Recurring-property notes
The oil stain that never fully lifts. The HOA rule. The gate that sticks.
Crew knowledge
Send the next washer with what the last washer learned.
The whole crew sees the same job
Invite workers into the company workspace. Viewers can read job notes. Editors can add what they learned on site. Owners control who stays when someone leaves. The job remembers either way.
