office space

Building managers and owners do not need to be superheroes or wear capes to fight grime, they just need to hire a trusted commercial pressure washing service. Dad jokes aside, commercial pressure washing or commercial power washing -- the use of high-pressure water to remove unwanted elements such as dirt and mold from building facades, other exterior walls, and roofs -- is extremely important to maintain the appearance and value of your building.

Apart from “curb appeal” and saving your business time and money, commercial pressure washing has health benefits for your employees or tenants by eliminating mold and toxins from taking a foothold in their workspace. While it is doubtful anyone is going to get COVID-19 from the outside of a building, keeping your building clean and looking hygienic can help reassure workers returning to office buildings, especially when all pandemic restrictions ease.

Clean-Up Your Curb Appeal

First impressions count and commercial pressure washing at least every six months can help polish your building’s curb appeal. In fact, you can even use power washing to put your best foot forward before customers, employees or tenants even approach the building by professionally cleaning your parking lot and sidewalks.

If you are in charge of a building with customers, especially a building in the medical field or a building that serves food, it can be difficult to convince people that the inside of your building is clean and healthy if the first thing they encounter is a dirty and rundown looking exterior.

Commercial Pressure Washing Saves Money, Time

By commercial pressure washing at regular intervals, you will save your business time and money. Your maintenance costs will be lowered as you will need to do less repairs on the façade and exterior of your building Eliminated built-up dirt and grime with commercial pressure washing helps prevent damage over time.

The average exterior paint for most buildings will last between 7 and 10 years, but in some harsher weather conditions you may need to repaint every 3 to 5 years to keep up appearances. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, sun, high humidity and other weather elements are constantly attacking the exterior of your building.

Commercial pressure washing can benefit your bottom line by:

  • Keeping your building looking newer. This increases your building's overall value, and makes it easier to find tenants when you have vacancies.
  • Saving you on the unexpected repair expenses when moisture and pest infestations penetrate the outer layer of your building and reach the wood structure underneath.
  • Extending the life of your buildings paint and saving you on the capital expense of repainting sooner. Proper power washing can almost double the life of your exterior paint.

Promote Healthy Environment with Power Washing

Regular commercial power washing can prevent mold and other undesirable elements from taking a foothold on the outside of your building. Mold on the outside, may not directly cause health problems for your employees, but it could lead to mold on the inside and that can have harmful consequences.

On roofs, mold can find its way into attics and then into a buildings HVAC system. On the sides of buildings, mold near windows can work its way into a building. Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit The National Academy of Medicine, found that “moldy buildings” can make breathing conditions such as asthma worse and cause breathing problems in some people. While almost all materials can be damaged by mold, wood is specifically susceptible and can be devastated by mold.

By keeping your parking lots and sidewalks free of grime, dirt and other slippery elements with pressure washing you can prevent falls and other accidents from occurring on your property.
