House Washing Benefits You Didn’t Know About
We all know that quality residential pressure washing will improve curb appeal and that pressure washing your patio or deck can extend their lives. Some advantages, however, take a lot of work to identify. Either no one discusses these advantages frequently, or you may have yet to be aware of them. Many homeowners have the mentality of “out of sight, out of mind.”
Ridding Your Home Of Mold & Other Allergens
Although pressure washing isn’t frequently associated with healthy living, it can aid in the battle against allergies and disease. Two of the most typical allergies in the world are mold and pollen. It’s common knowledge that siding and roofs collect pollen. A thorough house wash can help keep pollen from sticking in the future and remove it from your home. Mold and mildew can also be removed with pressure washing. While pollen can be a pain, mold can be quite dangerous. Some people are sensitive to molds, per the CDC. These people may experience nasal congestion, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in rare instances, skin irritation as a result of mold exposure. People who are allergic to mold may experience more severe reactions.
Algae, Lichens & Mold
Your roof is a favorite place for lichens, moss, and algae to thrive. Since most homeowners don’t think about roof maintenance until it’s too late, it’s often said that “out of sight, out of mind.” Only then do homeowners start to pay attention when a roof starts to develop a leak problem. The three organisms I previously mentioned can harm your shingles. These organisms thrive on shingles as a food source, and once they start grubbing, they don’t stop. A gentle pressure wash will kill these vile bad guys with a chemical, which will also aid in keeping them away.
