If you’re like most people, you consider pressure washing a chore. And it’s no wonder. Pressure washing is tiring, complicated, and time consuming.
Sure, some people love spending their entire Saturday
pressure washing
their house. But for people that would rather enjoy their Saturdays with their family or friends, hiring a
professional pressure
washer
can be a decision that saves you a significant amount of time and money, especially in Washington!
Why Washington you ask?
Because everything your house doesn’t like… LOVES water.
Chances are, if you haven’t pressure washed your house in a while, your house could be in the process of being silently overrun by…
Dirt, Mold and Mildew
Did you know that those black and green streaks you see running across your house actually aren’t dirt at all? They’re mold. And mildew. Or if you’re really unlucky, some satanic combination of the two.
Left untreated, these little creatures can become a house owner’s worst nightmare. Not only do they have the potential to damage your property, taking money out of your pocket, but they can also be extremely harmful if inhaled. Symptoms of mold poisoning include chronic fatigue, headaches, rashes, chronic coughing, and irritation of the mucous membranes in the nose, mouth, and throat. And that’s not even the entire list of symptoms!
If you haven’t inspected the outside of your house, especially if you live in
Renton, Washington,
it may be a good time to go take a look. But don’t worry. Once identified, in most cases anyway, a professional pressure washer will be able to get down in there and remove the unwanted toxins.
Health Hazards
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, every year 500,000 people are treated for ladder-related injuries and approximately 300 of these incidents prove to be fatal.
Why risk your health doing something you don’t want to do anyway?
An unexpected injury could easily outweigh the costs associated with hiring a professional pressure washer, not to mention the time out of work. Instead of risking your health and wasting a beautiful summer day pressure washing the deepest cracks and crevices of your house, consider hiring a professional pressure washer.
Curb Appeal
Here’s a sad fact: When people are buying a house, they are extremely vigilant for any noticeable flaws that may influence their purchasing decision. Finding unwanted mold, mildew and dirt is a big no-no for most home buyers that aren’t looking for a fixer-upper.
Remember how I mentioned that in most cases, a
professional pressure washer
will be able to undo the damage that can accumulate on your house? Well, that’s most cases. If you let the gunk build up enough, you may find yourself in a mold situation that has caused irreversible damage, plummeting the potential asking price of your house. A professional pressure wash will immediately transform the look of your house, displaying to your neighbors and potential buyers that your home is in fantastic, ready-to-sell condition.
Just because sometimes risks and costs can be hidden, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Hiring a professional pressure washer can be a great way to save yourself money, time, and pain in the future. As well as giving your house a fantastic, newly-purchased look.
