The winter months wreak havoc on your home’s exterior surfaces, bringing waves of mold, mildew, and ice that trap pollen and dust from the warmer months against your walls. While homeowners don’t typically put professional pressure washing services on their list of ways to “winter-proof” the house, it can be vital for maintaining your home’s appearance and longevity.
So, before winter fully sets in, be sure to clean the exterior of your home thoroughly to prevent grime build-up.
Gutter Cleaning
As the temperatures drop, any debris in your gutters can freeze and stick in place, which can make your gutters can clog and collect weight. With a heavy enough blockage, your gutters will sag and can even snap out of place. In the event of heavy rain, clogged gutters will cause rain to spill out, which can damage your home or landscaping.
Professional gutter cleaning can remove any blockages from your gutters that could prove problematic during the winter.
Patio and Deck Washing
A clean deck or patio is a prime location for warm-weather gatherings, but all that fun can leave behind a trail of dirt and grime. If that dirt sits on the deck throughout the winter, it can be even harder to remove the next spring.
Professional pressure washing services can clean the exterior surface of your deck and patio before the cold weather kicks in. That way, your outdoor living spaces will be ready to use when the summer comes back.
Deep Cleaning Your Driveway
Homeowners with concrete driveways know just how fragile the surface can be. With enough exposure to rain and cold weather, concrete driveways will chip and crack.
One way to prevent your driveway from cracking is by cleaning and strengthening the surface before the winter begins. Removing stains and mildew and covering the surface with an asphalt sealer can preserve your driveway throughout the winter.
Other Areas to Tend To
Gutters, patios, decks, and driveways are essential home fixtures to take care of before the winter, but they aren’t the only ones. Before the cold weather truly kicks in, consider calling for power washing services for these home features as well.
Exterior Windows
In the spring and summer, dust and pollen build up on your windows and get trapped in your window screens. During the winter, those particles can freeze to the windows and be impossible to remove.
Fencing
Wooden fences tend to grow mold and mildew in the rainy season that can freeze in the winter and become difficult to remove. Taking care of those harmful substances with high-pressure washing before the temperature drops will help keep your property in top condition.
