The Difference That Pressure Washing Makes

Although it would be great if rain were enough to regularly rinse off the exterior of your house for cleaning purposes, it doesn't work very well! Regular exterior cleaning is a necessary part of routine home improvement and maintenance.

Homeowners who fail to schedule routine pressure washing are in for a rude awakening. Of course, homeowners who rely solely on pressure washing to clean all of their exterior surfaces aren't going to be happy either. There's more to exterior cleaning than you may realize, and now is the time to figure it all out.

Why The Right House Washing Methods Make A Dramatic Difference

The term house washing is commonly used in place of pressure washing, even though pressure washing may not be the right cleaning method to use. Techniques referred to as low, no, or soft washing is better suited for delicate surfaces like vinyl siding and asphalt shingles.

The standard pressure washing approach can damage your siding, and even trap water behind your home's siding, causing leaks, mold, and rot. Pressure washing can remove paint, which is why it's part of the preparation process for house painting, but not great when you want to keep your color in place. These types of damages can causes you thousands of dollars in future repairs!

What If You Don't Wash It?

Your home's exterior can get pretty filthy pretty quickly. Once an issue like algae takes hold, it intensifies rapidly. To put it simply, your house won't just look dirty; it will age and even deteriorate with time and neglect.

Some factors contribute to how quickly and intensely the process happens, such as the amount of shade your property has and the amount of rain that season. Consider some of the more serious problems:

• Mold, algae, moss, and lichen
• You'll lose your curb appeal
• Diminishment in property value
• Frequent and more extensive repairs
