Travis Van Meer is the sole proprietor of Van Meer Power Washing.

CARLYLE - Travis Van Meer was looking at a way to supplement his income and this spring decided to purchase a mobile power washer and open Van Meer Power Washing.  

Included is a pair of 240-gallon totes which are used for hauling water.  

Together with a flat-deck trailer, a power generator, soaps, bleach, and various power wands and other attachments, he has been operating Van Meer Power Washing since May. 

Power washing is a way to clean the assets on a property. Vinyl siding, decks, driveways, shop floors, and farm equipment can be cleaned within hours. Many residences have white vinyl siding which over time becomes discoloured, dirty and covered with stains, dust and cobwebs. Using the proper combination of bleach and soap, a power washed home can look brand new again.  

Van Meer has been extremely pleased at how his first year of power washing has gone.  

“Frankly, I’ve been busier than expected,” he said. “I really like hauling and using Carlyle water wherever I go. It doesn’t spot up and I never have to wipe off the windows. I never use the customer’s water from their own taps.” 

Van Meer takes pride in his work and is very careful about what water pressure he uses. The strength and texture of some sidings and surfaces are different than others and he mixes the proper strength of bleaches and soaps and applies the proper pressure. 

The Van Meer Power Washing unit is entirely mobile. He is more than willing to travel and covers all southeast Saskatchewan.   

Van Meer lives on an acreage 10 kilometres northeast of Carlyle. He has been a field operator for Kingston Midstream the past 11 years. He has also been a volunteer member of Carlyle & RM 63 Fire and Rescue for 16 years and has been a deputy fire chief for the past six.  

Van Meer is 37 years old and married to Kim, who is employed at the Arcola Health Centre. They have two children. Daughter Ember is four and son Logan is two.  

Van Meer Power Washing has its own Facebook Page. He can be reached at 306-577-8410. All calls and texts are returned promptly and professionally.
