Written by Clicklease | Dec 16, 2024 4:37:19 PM

The global pressure washer market was worth $2.5 billion in 2021. This number is expected to expand at a 4.2% CAGR, placing the market value at $3 billion by 2026 and making pressure washing a great option for anyone hoping to start a small, local business.

Pressure washing is a skill many people can acquire—and it’s a service every business and property owner needs. One of the main barriers to entry is finding the best solution to secure your pressure washer leasing. 

Discover why it’s a good idea to lease a pressure washer purchase and how to get started with Clicklease.

What Are the Benefits of Leasing My Pressure Washing Equipment?

To get your pressure washing business up and running, you need equipment. You can front the cost yourself, apply for a loan, or risk maxing out your credit cards. But, leasing your equipment could be a much wiser route to take.

Why Should I Apply for a Lease?

There are multiple benefits to leasing the equipment you need for your small business:

  • Leasing helps you avoid overpaying for equipment rental.
  • You’re more likely to be approved for a lease than a bank loan.
  • Based on how your business is formed, you may be able to write off the entire cost of your monthly lease payments on your taxes (please consult your tax advisor).
  • Applying won’t negatively impact your credit.
  • You can avoid the risk of buying equipment up-front.
  • You can own your equipment outright if you exercise your purchase option at the end of your lease.

What Pressure Washing Equipment Can I Lease?

A successful business requires having the right tools to cover a wide range of projects. This means there are a lot of features and components to consider when weighing your pressure washer leasing  options. Below are the most important equipment choices for you to mull over.

Pressure Washer

There are a lot of pressure washer options and features to choose from. For instance, do you need gas or electric power? Do you need a light-duty, medium-duty, or heavy-duty washer? 

The most important thing you should consider is what you are going to wash with your pressure washer. Different equipment is needed depending on what the equipment will be used for. 

For example, a pressure washer for a roof has different specs than a pressure washer for wood decks. You might want to focus on pressure washing the siding on homes or concrete sidewalks and driveways. It’s important to consider your options based on your business plan. 

Power

You need a powerful enough unit to handle a range of different projects, so make sure the pressure washer you lease is at least 3,000 PSI.

Electric vs Gas-Powered

An electric pressure washer is easier to maintain, runs quieter, and may cost less. But there’s a trade-off: They’re typically only suitable for lighter-duty jobs.

A gas pressure washer is:

  • More powerful
  • Best for heavy-duty jobs
  • Noisier
  • Higher maintenance

If you’re serious about growing your pressure washing business into more than just a part-time hobby, you should consider leasing a gas-powered washer.

Hot Water and Cold Water Pressure Washers

Many jobs won’t require heated water, but you need to have a hot water pressure washer to remove encrusted dirt and chemical stains. 

You can buy separate cold and hot water units, but there are combination units with a separate water heater and tank already added to a cold water unit. There are also conversion kits to add the extra components to an existing cold water unit.

Downstream Injector

This device lets you inject chemicals or detergent into the water stream after the pump, making it possible to properly mix these cleansers at a low pressure.

Upstream Injector

An upstream injector allows you to inject chemicals or detergent into the water before the pump so you can properly blend the cleaners into a high-pressure stream.

Pressure Wash Hose

A 50-foot hose may be adequate for many of your pressure washing jobs, but a longer hose is best for covering a more significant property, like the exterior of a large business. A 100–200 foot pressure washing hose is common for larger jobs.

Nozzles

You need to use the right nozzle for every project. Using the wrong one can either be ineffective or damage surfaces.

0° Nozzle

This creates the highest pressure, the thinnest stream. Use it for hard surfaces to remove stubborn dirt.

15° Nozzle

This narrow spray pattern is still very strong and should only be used for concrete or asphalt. 

25° Nozzle

This nozzle is suitable for hard surfaces like stone and brick and covers a wider area.

40° Nozzle

This setting is good for siding, decks, and vehicles and covers a wider area.

65° Soap Nozzle

This wide, lower-pressure nozzle is great for applying soap to any surface with a wide, lower-pressure stream.

Turbo Nozzle

A Turbo nozzle creates a rotating jet that covers a wider range than a 0° nozzle and higher pressure than a 25° nozzle.

Sewer Jetter

Cleaning sewers can be one of the more demanding jobs. You need a sewer jetter to clean heavy, stubborn debris from sewers.

Pressure Washing Rig

A trailer-mounted pressure washing rig can help you carry your gear to your job site. This is especially useful if you plan to focus on larger projects, like industrial facilities, cleaning fleets, or pressure washing entire parking lots.
