Simply put, homes get dirty. Time and exposure to the elements will leave your home exterior looking lackluster in its appearance and even suffering the consequences of outdoor contaminant buildup. It’s important to prioritize house washing to keep your home in the best condition possible, but power washing, a common home exterior cleaning method, is not the way to go.
Power washing is much more dangerous than it is effective. Intense pressurized water has the power to damage various parts of your home, including the roof, siding, and surrounding areas like your patio or deck. In extreme cases, the intensity can cause problems for your home interior, too. For example, using a power washer on wood siding can lead to water getting into your home’s walls and causing wood rot and mold growth. This is because wood can be completely torn through by highly pressurized water.
The damages associated with power washing increase when the person using the power washer is inexperienced. Inconsistent spraying from a non-professional can lead to uneven wear and tear as some areas of the home get more pressurized water than other areas. There’s also a higher likelihood of getting injured when operating power washing equipment without taking the necessary safety precautions.
