​
Acknowledgement of Risks and Release of Liability
​
At LOWCOUNTRY EXTERIOR PROS LLC, our highly trained technicians utilize cleaning chemicals to remove organic and inorganic staining for the best possible results. We take all necessary precautions to prevent any property damage during the cleaning process, but it's important to note that there is always a risk, especially on delicate surfaces.
​
Before beginning any work, our technicians will conduct a property walk down and
document any existing damage to the property through photographs or videos. This
process helps to ensure that we do not cause any further damage during the cleaning
service and helps to protect both the client and our company.
​
At LOWCOUNTRY EXTERIOR PROS LLC, it is essential that your property is in good repair and weather- tight, including all components that may affect its weather-tightness such as
electrical services, doors, windows, siding, shingles, gutters, and caulking. We cannot be
held liable for any water damage resulting from poor installation, maintenance, or repair of
these items, including improperly installed siding, loose shingles or siding, broken or
opened windows, improperly sealed windows and doors, wood rot, defective construction,
​improperly secured wires, and improper caulking. It is the responsibility of the client to
ensure that their property is in good condition before we provide our cleaning services.
​
House/Building Wash Acknowledgment
​
At LOWCOUNTRY EXTERIOR PROS LLC, we use effective cleaning solutions, including sodium hypochlorite, to remove organic growth from exterior surfaces. We prioritize environmental protection, taking several precautions to minimize any risks to plant life during the cleaning process. However, please note that high temperatures during the day may still cause some plants to burn.
​
At LOWCOUNTRY EXTERIOR PROS LLC, we would like to inform our clients that prolonged UV exposure may cause oxidation of vinyl and painted surfaces on homes and buildings. Oxidized surfaces may leave a chalky residue on your hand when rubbed, and low-pressure cleaning may reveal blemishes on these surfaces that were previously less visible. If our technician discovers that your building or home exterior is oxidized, we will discuss this with you prior to washing and recommend the appropriate course of action.
During our washing process, we utilize the customer's water, which may result in water
spotting on windows/glass surfaces. Please note that our standard building or house wash
does not include conventional window cleaning unless otherwise stated and agreed upon in the initial estimate. We recommend discussing any additional services with our team before the cleaning process to ensure all your needs are met.
​
At LOWCOUNTRY EXTERIOR PROS LLC, we want to make our clients aware of weep holes on vinyl siding. These holes are essential for the ventilation of the siding and are located on the underside of the vinyl ledges. However, different types of bugs can make homes out of these holes and often bring mud and debris into them. After we complete a cleaning
service, it's possible that mud or dirt may drain from these holes, leaving a faint red/orange stain. These stains are not permanent, and we ask clients to please contact our company if this occurs so that we can come back to resolve the issue. Certain stains, such as tree sap, artillery fungus, concrete splatter, and paint and stain splatters, may not be removable by conventional power washing methods. We'll do our best to identify these areas and set realistic expectations, but some stains may be impossible to remove entirely.
​​
Concrete Cleaning Acknowledgment
​
The appearance of concrete can be affected by various factors, such as the timing of
pouring and curing. When concrete is contaminated with dirt or other pollutants, cleaning
may make these stains more visible. Exposed aggregate may also become more noticeable after cleaning. Rust stains on concrete require specialized chemicals and processes to remove, and pressure washing alone is usually insufficient. If rust stain removal was not discussed during the initial estimate, it may not be included in the work. Moreover, clients should understand that oil stains on concrete may be challenging to remove completely, especially if they have been present for a long time. Once oil stains penetrate the concrete, they are often visible despite cleaning.
​
Roof Cleaning Acknowledgment
​
In our roof cleaning process, we use chemicals and low-pressure application to neutralize
the organic growth that causes unsightly discoloration on the roof. While we strive for the
best possible outcome, the customer must understand that there is a small chance that
browned grass may occur in the areas of the downspouts.
​
Additionally, the customer acknowledges that the natural elements may take 6-8 weeks to
fully remove the neutralized organic growth. We do not forcibly remove organic growth,
such as moss and lichens, unless the customer signs a liability waiver requesting us to do
so with pressure. On the day of cleaning, most/all of the discoloration will be removed, but
please note that our company may have to return for re-application in some cases. We
include this acknowledgment to ensure that customers are fully informed about the roof
cleaning process, the potential outcomes, and the timeline for the natural elements to
remove the neutralized organic growth.
​
Agreement/Acceptance to Terms and Conditions
​
Upon acceptance of the estimate, the client agrees that all specifications and conditions
outlined in the proposal/estimate are hereby accepted. The client also authorizes the
company to complete the work as specified in the proposal/estimate form. The client
acknowledges and releases the company from any liability for property damage, unless
such damage is caused by negligence or willful misconduct.
​
Additionally, if any damage is found on the property after completion of the work, the
customer must report it to the company within 48 hours of the completion of the service.
Failure to report damages within this timeframe may result in the inability to file a claim.
