It’s totally understandable for people to want to avoid aesthetic expenses whenever possible. For instance, every day you drive somewhere, you run the risk of dirt or mu d getting splattered onto your car. But you don’t go to the car wash every time you catch a speck of dust somewhere on your car’s exterior. That said- power washing your home doesn’t exactly work that way. In fact, if you don’t have your house professionally power washed at least once a year, you open your house up to all sorts of risks of damage. Treating your house’s exterior to a thorough scrubbing isn’t merely an issue of cosmetics, and making it look shiny for the occupants of passing cars or neighbors; it’s a necessity to ensure the well-being of the place you call home. In fact, if you wait until your house is covered in mold to schedule a power washing service, the damage may have already been done. Allow us to elaborate. Why once a year? Essentially, any time there’s a certain amount of wetness, there’s a chance of mold and other unwelcome vegetation developing in places that they should not- such as the exterior of your house. Mold can grow fairly quickly, although it could be a little while before you notice the effects of its presence on your house’s sidings. And mold doesn’t grow so quickly that an overnight rainstorm is going to result in your house being covered with it when you wake up. Besides, it’s not practical to assume that a homeowner will scour every square inch of his or her house’s exterior to find a grain of mold every time there’s rainfall- which doesn’t even account for the fact that some mold may grow in places that you can’t see. Getting your house power washed once a year is a perfect way to find a happy medium. An annual scrubbing is frequent enough that it will take care of any mold or mildew that may have formed before it does any damage. At the same time, it’s also not needless overkill (such as the aforementioned car wash example), as the reality is that a yearly power wash should be more than sufficient in terms of keeping the mold away. In general, you want to be proactive about power washing your home, and simply picking the same time of year, every year, is perhaps the easiest way to do so. If neglected, mold can be damaging- and costly By the time mold has developed into a polk a dots type pattern across your house’s exterior, there’s very likely to be damage done to your house’s paint because that’s what mold does . If this happens, not only do you need to have your house’s exterior scrubbed extra thoroughly to get rid of the mold, but now you also likely need a brand new paint job on top of it to undo that damage on top of that. Nobody wants that- not to mention the fact that Coastal Pros’ Power Washing service is significantly cheaper than a new coat of paint. So, don’t let it come to that! Be sure to get ahead of the game (and the mold!) and schedule your annual power washing today!
