Pressure Washer Parts and Supply

On work covered by the federal lead renovation rule, the list starts with plastic sheeting or other disposable impermeable material covering the ground 10 feet beyond the perimeter of the surfaces being worked on, or further if that is what it takes to collect falling paint debris¹. Add vertical containment if the work is within 10 feet of a property line¹. Add a HEPA vacuum attachment and shroud on any coating removal head¹. Then add whatever collects and holds the water, since EPA requires the work area to be isolated so that no dust or debris, including in the wastewater, leaves it⁷.

Nobody publishes it. That is the plain answer. The research behind this guide looked for a sourced price on vacuum booms, wet vacuums, filtration and holding tanks and found none from any agency, association or primary source. Rather than repeat an aggregator's estimate, this page leaves it blank. The practical consequence for you as a buyer: when one bid is much lower than another, ask each contractor to describe the water handling in writing. That description, not the total, is usually where the difference actually sits.

Because falling debris travels, and the rule sets a floor for how far you plan for it to travel. The provision requires ground cover extending 10 feet beyond the perimeter of the surfaces undergoing renovation, or a sufficient distance to collect falling paint debris, whichever is greater¹. It carves out only one exception: where the property line prevents 10 feet of ground covering. That is also why the same rule turns to vertical containment when the work sits within 10 feet of the line, since the space to lay sheeting simply is not there¹.

They have their own published disposal prices in some counties, and it is worth checking yours before the job rather than after. Washington County, Utah lists paint at $3.32 per gallon on its fee schedule⁴. Dane County, Wisconsin runs a household drop off charging $15.00 per trip for hazardous waste from county residents and $75.00 per trip from out of county households, and prices televisions and computer monitors at $15.00 each and microwave ovens at $10.00 each⁵. Different counties structure this differently, so read your own schedule.

Often, and you may need permission before you need equipment. EPA notes that treatment systems, generally oil and water separators or some type of filtration, are frequently required by regulation when a facility discharges wash water to a sanitary sewer and on to a municipal treatment plant². Portland goes further and gates the route itself: City Code 17.34 requires approval to discharge to the sanitary sewer, and pressure washing businesses apply for a Mobile Washer Discharge Authorization⁶. No published fee for that authorization was found, so ask your local utility.
