The task involves pressure washing soffits that are 25-30 feet above ground level. Is there a practical limit to the length of wand? Any lessons-learned or pitfalls to avoid are appreciated.

I would say that if wand extensions are not commercially available, then there are problems that make them useless in practice. – Jim Stewart Feb 20 '17 at 13:35

Is a vertical jet sufficient, or must it also be angled around architectural details? I ask because of the potential torque on such a long lever. – Spencer Joplin Apr 23 '17 at 5:51
The length is mostly limited by the width of the pipe in the wand. So if you use a wand made for 6 feet and add 20 feet to it, you can expect the sheer weight of the wand to bend it. Gravity works.

Please clarify 'Gravity works'. Thank you Based on this comment it would be wise to buy a single 25 unit fiberglass or similar unit – gatorback Feb 20 '17 at 3:23
