aerial lift soft wash safety in Franklin

In Franklin, this comes up on county-seat houses and properties with room around them. Heard County clay rides in on trucks and stays on the slab. Two-story houses with a narrow side yard are the usual problem. The building can need a lift and still not have a place to put one.

Outbuildings and gutters are the cold-month work; the house wash can ride along if the weather holds.

Height is how washes get uneven and how people get hurt. A ladder and a long wand, used as a substitute for access, leaves stripes and puts someone on the wrong step. When the elevation is truly off the ground — a second or third story, a church, an apartment breezeway, a warehouse eave — the method is a rented boom or scissor lift, sized to the building, with the wash done from the basket.

The site has to accept the machine. Soft ground, a steep drive, overhead lines, and no legal place to set up are reasons to stop. We look before we order the lift when the photos are ambiguous. The lift is in the price of that visit. It is not a surprise line item after we are already there, unless the site was not what the photos showed.

We do not wash from a lift we are not qualified to run, and we do not put a client in the basket. High work is the job. It is not a ride.

The full explanation, without the town attached, is the when the job is a lift, and when it is a no article. The town does not change the chemistry. It changes the houses, the shade, and the clay.
