1. Pressure Washing Prevents Mold and Residual Build-Up.

One of the key benefits of pressure washing is removing harmful contaminants from the exterior of your home.

Over time, siding and shingles become hosts to a variety of harmful growths such as algae, mold, lichens, and mildew. In all exterior surfaces, but especially materials such as limestone shingles, the buildup can cause damage when left untreated. In fact, it is the leading cause of roof decay. And roof decay is the leading cause of needing to have your roof replaced prematurely.

The asphalt in roofing may degrade and then be washed away by inclement weather, which means leaks and heavy expenses that could be prevented with seasonal maintenance.

Regular washing can extend the life of your siding and roofing, and save you roof repairs and replacement costs in the future. The National Association of Realtors claims that a pressure wash can add $10,000-$15,000 value to your home, should you decide to sell. Regularly scheduled soft roof washing or roof shampoo, which is about every 5 years, can net you significant home value gains on the housing market.

2. Keeps Gutters Clean and Functional

Regular washing of areas like the roof, siding, and gutters keeps the exterior of your house functioning as intended. When gutters are clogged with mold and debris, water does not flow away from your home correctly. This can lead to saturation of the exterior walls of your home, which can potentially damage their structural integrity.

Water running down your siding can allow it to seep into your walls, can ruin your landscaping, and even weaken your foundation. With a little preventative treatment, you can potentially save yourself a myriad of problems- from damaged door trimmings to a leaky basement! Better to save yourself the headache- and potentially thousands of dollars.

3. Helps Identify Home Maintenance Needs

When your home is treated with pressure washing, it may help you identify and get ahead of maintenance issues before they become big problems. Cleaning away dirt and debris from your home allows you to see if your home is at risk for a leak.

It is especially a good opportunity to identify weak or rotting boards in decking or awnings. By power washing the house, you can take note of any loose, cracked, or missing siding as well. After a hard winter or rainy season, you may find yourself with some minor damage that should be addressed earlier rather than later.

Fixing issues that may be uncovered during a pressure wash can help maintain the exterior integrity of your home and prevent further structural damage. Ensure your home is free of rot, decay, and premature aging by treating it to a routine clean.

4. Pressure Washing is Part of Responsible Home Ownership

A home is likely the single largest investment you will make in your lifetime, so why not get the most out of it?

As with any other routine maintenance, a good pressure clean really is an ounce of prevention for a pound of cure. While it may seem like a big task, luckily Westchester Power Washing can help you with the exterior maintenance of your home.

5. Are You Selling or Refinancing your Home?

Curb appeal, a clean house, and a well-maintained landscape, all make your home attractive to others, this is true too about home appraisers. When determining a, appraised value, the selling price of comparable homes and the amenities are used. But there is also another feature. It is called the home’s condition. The options include poor, good, average, and above-average. This selection is weighed against the others but it is the most biased. So, a pressure-cleaned home and roof have the advantage of increasing the actual value of your home.
