UAMCC and Relief for Washers Merge to Form Industry Organization

United Association of Mobile Contract Cleaners www.uamcc.org and Relief for Washers, www.reliefforwashers.com announced that they have entered into an agreement that establishes a new nationwide state network organization that represents the contractor, distributor and manufacture in the pressure washing industry.

Robert Hindeliter, founder of UAMCC announced, "Relief for Washers and the UAMCC have created a powerful new alliance in the power washing industry with the size and scope to offer the very best to everyone affiliated with the industry nationwide. Our immediate focus is on a detailed and deliberate integration of our two initiatives in a way that best serves our customer – the contractor. This presents a new opportunity for the industry and affords everyone an opportunity to continue to grow their businesses."
“The merger with Relief for Washers was a logical decision. Their efforts to assist contractors with the resources and support in the Southeast has clearly shown the industry their ability, dedication, and resolve to assist the industry throughout the country.” he added.

Relief for Washers founder, Carlos Gonzales explained, “The integration with UAMCC is the next logical step in the evolution of the RFW efforts to provide the best available resources and tools to the industry during and after the drought. Merging with UAMCC gives the contractor an instant vehicle to accomplish this.” He added, “we are extremely gratified to be in a position where the resources from UAMCC and the capabilities and fresh ideas from RFW can now come together in a single nationwide networked organization.”

UAMCC and RFW will continue to make water restriction issues in the southeast their top priority during the merger. “Our sincerity and purpose around the drought and creating an organization that truly embraces a contractors needs are validated today with this announcement. It is a significant step forward for the new organization and the industry in which it will foster unity, cooperation, and progress,” Robert added. Changes have already begun with the new organization with the immediate implementation of state wide chapters with the emphasis being placed in the drought areas.

Though the UAMCC name will remain synonymous in the industry, the new path it has forged with RFW will be different. Carlos explained, “we are revamping everything about the UAMCC so that it will involve the contractor even more by allowing them to assist in the establishment of our direction.” He added, “there are individuals with a wealth of talent within the industry that have unyielding enthusiasm. Today, because of this merger, they will be given an opportunity to share their ideas and provide input for the new organization.”

Manufacturing companies and industry associations such as Alkota, CETA, Landa, Mosmatic, WJTA and Hydrotek were aware of the announced merger and subsequent meetings are expected to take place.

Details of the merger were not disclosed.

Way to go UAMCC & RFW

Now we just need it to rain in effected areas

 

[Doug Dahlke]

Sounds good. Maybe some good will come out of the drought situation. Everyone needs to pay attention on this because sooner or later your area of operation will be affected.

 

[Ron Musgraves]

We have a bunch, but you people keep moving here.
STOP

 

[Russ Spence]

Funny thing is that Georgia and South Carolina are crying and Alabama has way more effected areas still (over 31% of the state) and we are still business as usual and all the lakes are rising and looking good

 

[Doug Dahlke]

Russ. The problem here is what the local counties have done with enacting further restrictions beyond the state guidelines on power washing. I am lucky to be in a county with no restrictions as long as you are a legit business. Last Friday I had to truck additional water for a job in a county where PW is a no no. I charged extra and the customer was willing to pay. I just lost another job because the HOA won't pay the water transport charge I need.

Lanier is still really low, something like 12 feet below normal, but all the other lakes in the area are fine right now. I wish some of these counties would back off at least temporarily and cut the PW guys some slack.

I know Doug , I just felt it was funny that we are more effected as a whole than the Georgia folks , however the population is way different there , that is where much of the problem lies , we have no where near the population of Atlanta in Alabama much less in a single area. So the useage is way higher

I agree and it is unfortunate that the Gov. of GA has yet to sign HB1281. I know that we were all hoping that he would sign this at the beginning of April. It was heading to his desk to be enacted into law then......

Unfortunately it went back to the Senate at the last minute for a third reading. The third reading of the bill was approved by the Senate and subsequently approved by the House but now it could go back one step further to a sub-committee. It is doubtful that it will be kicked down to the subcommittee level again BUT you never know in politics. (By law both the house and senate must allow the subcommittee the opportunity to review any changes made - if the changes made are not in the "spirit" of what the subcommittee originally intended the bill to be - then we are back to square one. The flipside of this is that the subcommittee members can "pass" or abstain from formally asking to see the bill again - if so - then it goes back to the governor for signature consideration).

RFW will keep their eyes on this and announce any new developments.

Until HB1281 is signed into law, all local jurisdictions can enforce more strigent guidelines vs. what the state has in place.
