Homes on wells
Permalink  
 


We hope to be up and running by May 1st. Our imediate service area is the resort community of Smith Mountain Lake in southwest Virginia. Some very affluent neighborhoods, but most all of the homes and business' in our area are on wells. Does anyone have a similar situation and how do your customers feel about you using their well water? We have homes that vary in roof size from 20 sq. to 70 sq. I'm curious just how much homeowners water is used in a 30 sq. roof cleaning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should probably have posted in one of the other sections. Using customers water is not an issue, and no one have ever brought it up. If you have a concern just explain in your methodology to customer. "We hook our hose to your hose bib and mix our solution and then keep plants and shrubs mixed. As far as amount of water, I've never measured. We put a hose in gutter and leave it running to dilute roof mixture plus spraying plants. I guess measure water flow and then multiply by 30 - 45 minutes? Sometimes on wells there isn't enough pressure and its hard to run 2 hoses at same time.

Thanks, Tim. Rookie mistake. I did find a thread discussing how to use the tanks for your fresh water. That may be my resolve. Thanks again.

Bob,

Our entire area(Poconos) is considered a year round resort area. 85%+ of the homes are on wells. I've only had one customer inquire about her water usage and I explained to her that if I have to transport water to the site there is an additional charge. She didn't pursue it from there. Good luck with the launch of your business. Smith Mountain Lake has some great small and largemouth bass fishing.

Hank

We have alot of homes on wells and you need to plan accordingly.  If you are performing a roof cleaning and siding cleaning service, you need to conserve your water supply when gutter caning, performing plant and property protection and also be conscious of your water usage in general otherwise you may not deplete their well completely but by the time it comes to rinsing their siding you'll have no water pressure to rinse!  That's why the buffer tank on the new SWS Skid is such a great idea.  If you have any specific questions feel free to contact me off line.  Good Luck!

Thanks Hank and Mike. We have placed our order for the SWS cradle skid, also have purchased two 2400 gal water tanks for the shop. I do believe that with a little help from my friends I can figure out a working program. Maybe filling the tanks at the shop each morning will cut down on some of the customers water usage. I'll most likely be calling on AC once the new equipment arrives. And Mike and Hank, I appreciate your help and could use more advice I'm sure, as we get closer to launch time.
