Pressure washing in the rain

Residential

Hey guys, I am new to the pressure washing business. It is supposed to rain the rest of the week…do you guys work when it’s raining or take the day off?

I work as long as it’s not super windy and there’s no lightning. I mean if it’s just stupid raining I wait for it to slow down but that’s it. It’s like having a helper…without having to pay!!!

Rain or shine here, unless lighting present. If its super windy or if its a hard down pour i will either wait or reschedule. Also a nice light rain is actually good to work in, it pre-wets everything, and helps aid in rinsing. We work with water already, so a little more water not going to hurt anything.

Ill work in a light rain but if its pouring no thanks. Once the wind and lightning pick up we pack up or wait it out.

Does the extra water ever bother your machines? Or are they covered when it rains?
