There's been a lot of trailers stolen here locally. In SC, you're not required to have a title or registration, so if somebody steals the trailer they can easily sell it for some quick cash. I've heard they've been stealing the enclosed trailers to make mobile meth labs! So I'm curious as to what some ha...

Here's another Delaware roof cleaned by Chesapeake Hydro-Wash yesterday. This one was pretty bad. Its hard to see in the pictures, but besides the algae, the left half of the roof was covered in moss. The no pressure roof cleaning revealed a light colored shingle under all the algae and moss.

Or if the palnts are hardy type plants, I just run sprinklers. If necessary, I catch downspout runoff. In the winter I feel safer leavin...

And he did - by dripping some on his finger and showing me it bubbling "see that? it's fresh" He then proceeded to instruct me on...
