If the gun has a trigger it’s not IDSAFE approved and more than likely it’s not low pressure. If the wand has a colored plastic tip on the end it’s not IDSAFE approved and is more than likely a high psi pressure washer. If they need hot water its a pressure washer. Its always a good idea to check the equipment that arrives on your property too, don’t just take there word for it over the phone. We hope that these 5 questions to ask before hiring an ice dam removal company helps you avoid roof damages commonly associated with pressure washers. AVOID PRESSURE WASHERS AT ALL COSTS!
