Weather can be harsh, especially in our corner of New England. The winds can be brutal, kicking up debris, grime, and road salt that stick to our homes and business properties. There may be no way to avoid the ravages of Mother Nature, but cleaning up her remnants left on your home’s exterior, patio pavers, deck, or driveway can be as easy as a spring power wash.
Power washing the exterior of your home or business does more than just give the outside a more polished appearance; it can also have a real impact on its health. Let’s break down the benefits of spring power washing for your home or business.
Removes Winter Build Up
Unappealing dirt and grime can accumulate on the exterior of your home, making it appear worn or unkempt, especially after the long winter months. This buildup includes dirt, salt from the roads, and organic materials from the yard, such as leaves, moss, mildew, mold, and pollution particles.
A spring power wash is one of the most effective ways to revitalize the exterior of a visibly dirty home or building. The washer’s high-pressure spray and environmentally safe detergents can help eradicate dirt, mold, mildew, algae, chalky residues, and salt that have adhered to a structure, leaving it looking new and clean.
Prevents the Growth of Mold & Mildew
Spring showers and climbing temperatures can create the perfect conditions for the growth of mold, mildew or even algae that has attached to your home.
Mold thrives in environments that include moisture, oxygen, humidity & warm temperatures. Mold and mildew especially like to grow on surfaces such as your home or building, particularly on shady sides where the UV rays of the sun cannot stop their growth. Stay on top of growth with a power wash that will rid your home or building of signs of mold and mildew, leaving it clean.
Left untreated, mold and mildew can cause significant damage to a home. A power wash can help protect & prevent future damage. Removing these organic growths on a patio, deck, or driveway can also prevent slips and falls as the materials grow and expand.
Environmentally Friendly
When power washing your home’s exterior, it is recommended to use an environmentally friendly detergent to prevent the surrounding plantings, trees, and grass from being doused in harsh chemicals. The pressure from the washer, combined with a mild, mixed detergent, is sufficient to lift the particles and remove them without causing damage.
Enhances Curb Appeal
If you plan to place your home on the market this spring, a power wash is a fast and cost-effective way to enhance its curb appeal. The outside of a home is often the first thing that buyers notice, and a dirty exterior can be off-putting, causing them to overlook your home.
A clean home exterior, driveway, patio, and deck can leave a positive and lasting impression on visitors to your home, whether they are attending an open house or just visiting for a family gathering.
