IIRC this was interior paint. Not sure that remediation is required in VA
for exterior lead paint.

Exterior paint last until it fails. (cracks/peels)
Then it has to come off before the new paint goes on.

I have a friend who does lead remediation and lead inspection, and is
certified to do those things. Some time ago, in discussion with him, he
stated the best way to contain lead paint, if it is still bonded to the
underlying surface was to simply paint over it with latex paint, which
seals the

How much lead is in a small house's worth of paint chips, and what, if
any, effect would it have on the groundwater?
My off the cuff assumption is less effect than running

How long does paint last? I'm actually a little surprised how much paint there
is on the house. I don't remember it ever being painted and the previous
occupant doesn't seem to either. I'm guessing its been around about 40-45
years. Probably isn't lead but I should probably pick up a test kit.
You might want to reconsider taking the paint off with the pressure
washer. Is it lead paint? I was involved in a case where the painters
had to re-landscape a whole yard because they stripped off old paint
with a pressure washer and contaminated the whole area with lead.

Google it - there are a bunch of DIY’s on how to adjust them.

Hey Kaleb!
Something just occurred to me - I wonder if the unloader valve on your pressure
washer is bad or misadjusted? If it’s not kicking off
Yep. I got one of those round scrubbers a few years ago. Love the
way it works. Much quicker on large flat surfaces then either the
regular nozzles or those turbo things that pulse in a small
circle. That does work better though on engines as it seems to
hit at a few different angles as you
Ahhh... I'll address your question more specifically now.
For best effect, using only cold water, [Or hot water, for that matter]
I've found the nozzle that has an oscillation spray pattern to have the
greatest effect.
The pulsation of that nozzle arrangement seems to have more "get it done"
I may not have been clear enough in my request, but thanks for your
observations….
I have 7.5 HP/4500 psi Sears pressure washer that does pretty much everything I

I have 3.
One is 6.5 hp Honda engine driven, 3000 psi from nozzle.
One is 8 hp Honda engine, 4,500 psi from nozzle.
One is 12 hp [Honda engine again], with diesel powered heat to make steam.
4,500 psi.
Bigger engines drive bigger pumps, for more water volume. as a basic rule.

Thanks for sharing your experiences on this!
I heeded some advice and purchased a Karcher electric (from Amazon Warehouse
Deals) It was advertised as repackaged, very good. I feel safe buying from
them, knowing I can return it without hassle if it is not satisfactory. It
arrived without a
The 2HP (??) one I first had worked just fine, plenty of pressure,
but not much volume and thus not much cleaning power. It seemed
fine until you actually had to do a big job, then it felt like you
were scrubbin the kitchen floor with a toothbrush. I gave it away,
and bought a 10HP
Bigger is better so long as you keep your hands and other body parts out
of the spray pattern.
You can generally avoid damage to things like wood by choosing to use a
wider spray nozzle but if you want to clean really greasy dirty things
then you need power to blast it off.

MTM is a good brand with parts availability.
I know you asked about electric, but I have a Sears/Craftsman 6.5HP with a
Briggs engine on it. I've had it for at least ten years, and being in Florida
it gets a regular workout. I just pressure washed my driveway last weekend, as
a matter of fact.
