When Should I Pressure Wash My House?
Our homes are exposed to the elements every day. Between spontaneous downpours to whiteout blizzard conditions, they see the full spectrum of weather. When these patterns lead to stuck-on dirt and grime, the exterior of your property can look dilapidated. What steps can you take to remove this debris?
A pressure washer is a large water pump powered by an electric motor that produces a strong stream of water. It can be used to clean your siding, fences, porches, decks, driveways and other asphalt or concrete surfaces. The general rule of thumb for pressure washing is at least once a year, but what season should you choose to hire a professional? Find out why summer is the best season to pressure wash your home.
More Time for Outdoor Projects
In the summertime, there is more daylight to complete home improvement projects. If you schedule an appointment for pressure washing, decks, patios and driveways have to be cleared of items that could be damaged by the force of water. When the sun rises early and sets late, you have more time to clear the area without feeling overwhelmed by daylight hours ticking away.
Prevent Mold & Mildew
Summer humidity, a combination of heat and moisture, can lead to the formation of mold and mildew on the surface of our homes. From guests to people driving by, your home may appear even more dirty. Not only is this growth unsightly, but it can also be a health hazard. Pressure washing in the summer preserves the home’s cleanliness and helps keep fungus away!
Achieve Longer-Lasting Results
In the summertime, New Englanders typically enjoy abundant sunshine, marred by an occasional rain shower. However, the sporadic rainstorm is not enough to wash off built-up dirt and grime. If you invest in professional pressure washing this time of year, homeowners do not have to worry about the job going to waste. When torrential rains hit in the spring or leaves are blown across the yard in the fall, it can look like you never had the job done in the first place.
