A Lack Of Commercial Pressure Washing Can Cause All Sorts Of Problems

Depending on the region of the country your business is located in, you might have mold, algae, and dirt scattered all around the exterior spaces of your building. If this description sounds like your establishment, not only does your business likely look less than desirable, but the issue could also be causing a number of other problems.

Moisture Damage

When you don't routinely have your building cleaned, you increase the risk of moisture damage to your building. Things like algae and mold are known to trap moisture. Over time, the moisture trapped on the building's surface due to these growths will begin to seep into the underlayers of your building's exterior. Particularly when it comes to wood surfaces, the excess moisture can cause the materials to weaken, which could lead to structural weakness.

Health Concerns

In addition to building concerns, the excess moisture caused by these growths on the outside can also lead to mold issues on the inside. Mold is a major allergen that can cause everything from eye irritation to intense coughing and headaches with exposure. If some of your employees have a sensitivity to mold, it could mean more days off from work, which might affect your bottom line. 

Lowered Curb Appeal

The average consumer bases their decision about who to do business with largely based on the look and appeal of a building's exterior. If your building looks dirty and unkempt, you're likely to lose some potential customers. Keeping the building clean will help keep the building more attractive, and therefore help you attract more new customers to your business. 

Safety Issues

When it comes to services like pressure washing, remember that it's not just for the building. This service can also be applied to surfaces like walkways and parking areas. Mold, grease, and other growths can build upon these surfaces and make them slippery. Remember, if an employee or customer falls on your property you can be held liable. Keeping the surface clean helps remove these slipping hazards to keep your property safer. 

Commercial Power Washing

Contact a commercial power washing company to avoid all of these problems. These professionals will use a high-pressure washing system to remove any stains and growths without damaging the paint and other surfaces. Best of all, the service can be completed in a short amount of time.
