4 Reasons To Power Wash Your Roof

Power washing is a crucial part of home maintenance. When most people think about power washing their homes, they tend to think about their siding, decks, patios, and driveways. While cleaning these parts of your home is certainly important, Best PowerWash Dallas wants to remind you not to forget about one crucial power washing location: the roof.

Here are four reasons why it is important to soft power wash your roof.

1. It's Standard Roof Maintenance
While your roofers may not have said anything about power washing, many shingle manufacturers encourage home owners to clean their roofs periodically. No shingles last forever, but cleaning your roof can help maximize the life expectancy of your shingles.

2. Algae & Moss Actually EAT Your Shingles
All mold, algae, and moss require sufficient nutrients in order to grow, but components of some shingles (asphalt shingles, especially) are actually a great source of said nutrients. In fact, continued mold growth on your roof can eat a hole right through your shingles! Given that mold is nature's way of breaking down organic materials, wood shingles are particularly at risk. It is estimated that algae and moss growth on your shingles can reduce their life expectancy by up to 40-50%.

3. Mold Growing On Your Roof Is One Step Away From Being Inside Your Home
Mold growing on your roof produces microscopic spores that can easily find their way into your home via the soffits and ridge vents. If these spores happen to land in a place with sufficient moisture and nutrients, they can quickly multiply into large colonies. Depending on your family's susceptibility, mold in your home can cause serious allergic reactions and/or health issues in your family - especially in those with preexisting respiratory illnesses.

4. Clean Roofs Can Lower Your Summer Energy Bill
Mold, algae, and moss growth on roofs typically appears as dark streaks. Because dark colors absorb more heat, having dark streaks on your roof can cause the temperature in your attic to rise by several degrees. This will cause your air conditioning unit to work double-time to keep temperatures down - and rack up a much higher energy bill in the process. It is also worth noting that increased heat can also cause your shingles to break down prematurely.

Conclusion (and Tips!)
While it's easy for your shingles to be out of sight, out of mind, the importance of keeping them mold- and algae-free cannot be overstated. Keep in mind that the ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) strongly recommends soft power washing and chemical cleaning for shingles (not high pressure washes). There are several reasons for this:

• Using high pressure washes can potentially void the warranty on your shingles
• High pressure washing decreases your shingles' life span
• Pressure washing can remove mortar and break tiles
• Pressure washing does not remove the roots of the mold or algae, which means that it can easily regrow if moisture is present

If you're considering power washing your roof in the near future, Best PowerWash Dallas is here to help you with your residential power wash. We never use damaging high pressure washes. Instead, we use a process called soft power washing and biodegradable cleaning chemicals to deliver a safe, effective clean.

All Your Questions About Mold Growth in Homes - Answered!

Mold can be a scary enemy to many homeowners. It seems to appear out of nowhere, without warning. It can cause severe aesthetic and structural (as well as financial) damage to your home. It can also pose serious health risks to the people in your home. With proper prevention and remediation techniques, however, home mold can become nothing more than a distant thought. Best PowerWash Dallas is here to help you protect your most valuable asset with answers to some of the commonly asked questions surrounding mold and mildew growth in homes.

Q: What causes mold growth?

A: Microscopic mold spores drift constantly through the air, invisible to the naked eye. If they land in the proper environment, they can quickly grow into large colonies. The "proper environment" can take a variety of different forms, as long as it has sufficient nutrients and moisture. Wood, carpet, wallpaper, and even dust often provide all the nutrients mold spores need. As long as there is sufficient moisture, then, mold can grow almost anywhere in the home.

Q: Is mold growth in homes dangerous?

A: Mold can cause mild to severe health problems in people, or none at all. Every person's reaction to mold is different. Mold spores are a common allergen, however, so individuals who are routinely affected by allergies, as well as those with chronic lung and/or respiratory disorders, are likely to experience health problems if mole spores are inhaled. Depending on the severity of their preexisting conditions, some of their reactions to mold growth can be very serious.

Q: Are there different types of home mold?

A: Yes, there are a few different types of home mold. A few common types include:

• Alternaria
• Aspergillus
• Cladosporium
• Penicillium
• Fusarium
• Stachybotrys Chartarum
• Trichoderma

Q: Are some types of home mold more dangerous than others?

A: Some types of mold do tend to cause more severe reactions in people than others. Stachybotrys Chartarum (commonly known as "black mold") and Trichoderma often pose more serious health risks than other types of mold. While not inherently toxic themselves, these molds produce something called "mycotoxins" which can be extremely toxic if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.

Q: What is the best way to prevent mold growth?

A: Keeping your home bright, clean, and dry is the best way to prevent mold growth. Mold requires a significant amount of moisture to grow - without enough moisture, it cannot survive. Here are some simple tips to reduce moisture levels in your home:

• Install a dehumidifier
• Run the air conditioning during the summer
• Turn on the bathroom ceiling fan or open a window while showering
• Install vents to the outdoors in your crawlspace
• Disinfect and dry all surfaces in your home, especially sinks and counter tops
• Repair any plumbing leaks
• Increase air flow in your home by turning on fans and/or opening windows

Q: How can existing mold populations be removed?

A: Depending on the severity of your mold population, different strategies can be used to clear your home of the mold growth. Minor growth on non-organic surfaces such as tile, metal, glass, concrete, and some counter tops can be cleaned with the proper disinfectant. However, organic surfaces such as drywall and wood require careful attention. In these cases, simply cleaning the surface may not be enough. You may have to consider removing the affected material entirely; mold can grow into the material (not just on the surface).

After disinfecting the affected surfaces, be sure to thoroughly dry the surfaces (and keep them dry in the future) to prevent the mold growth from returning. If you have a serious infestation or the mold is growing in areas you cannot access (such as the air ducts), you will probably want to hire a certified mold remediation expert to help you.

Home mold can be a serious problem if left unattended, but it can generally be removed relatively easily with the proper tools and techniques. If you notice the people in your home developing unusually strong allergic reactions or if you are able to visually recognize mold growth in your home, do not wait. The sooner you begin tackling the problem, the easier it will be to rid your home of unwanted mold growth. If you have questions about home mold or are looking for a mold removal expert in the Dallas suburbs, give us a call! Best PowerWash Dallas is the top mold removal expert in Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Carrollton, Lewisville, and Denton, Texas.

Ins and Outs of Residential Power Washing

Power washing, pressure washing, steam washing... Residential power washing comes in many different shapes and sizes. There are a lot of different factors to consider when planning to clean the exterior of your home, but Best PowerWash Dallas is here to help! As the number one power washing company for the Dallas suburbs, we offer only the best residential power washing tools and techniques. Our professional methods clean, beautify, and increase the value of your property at the same time!

Driveway and Patio Pressure Washing

At Best PowerWash Dallas, we use the industry's latest and best cleaning methods to ensure that all of your exterior surfaces get the best 'clean' possible. From concrete to asphalt to wood, we can safely and efficiently clean all of your exterior surfaces. As examples, some of the surfaces we clean most frequently are:

• Entryways
• Driveways
• Patios
• Fences
• Sidewalks
• Decks

No matter which of your exterior surfaces need attention, we can provide you with the safest and most efficient clean available.

House and Siding Power Washing

Did you know that residential power washing offers several different types of benefits? Cleaning the exterior of your home boosts your home's aesthetic appeal, protects your personal health, and saves you money!  

Boosts Your Home's Aesthetic Appeal

Dirt, mold, algae, and pollen can pile up on the surface of your home gradually, so you may not notice it at first. After time, however, these natural substances can cause your home to look dingy, shabby, and unkempt. Return your home to its natural shine by giving it a much-needed residential power wash.

Protects Your Personal Health

Mold and algae can cause moderate to severe allergic reactions in many people - especially those with asthma and other preexisting respiratory disorders. Giving your home a thorough exterior cleaning can wash away these harmful allergens.

Saves You Money

If not removed, mold, algae, dirt, and other natural substances can eventually cause damage to the surfaces underneath them. These potentially costly repairs can be easily avoided with periodic power washing. 

Deck and Fence Power Washing

Did you know that decks, fences, and other similar surfaces can be severely damaged by the traditional high power washes? High pressure washes can damage caulking, break apart mortar, and splinter wood. Damages to any of these types of surfaces (and even vinyl siding) can make home susceptible to leaks. 

At Best PowerWash Dallas, we clean and protect your exterior surfaces with our special 250° steam pressure wash. Combined with our safe, biodegradable detergents, this unique approach cleans your exterior surface while maintaining its structural integrity. 

Roof Power Washing

Those black streaks you've noticed on your roof are more than an eyesore - they're a structural threat. Did you know that some components of asphalt shingles are actually a common food source for certain species of algae and mold, primarily Gloeocapsa Magma? If not removed, this algae can actually eat a hole straight through your shingles! Wooden shingles are especially susceptible to this type of damage. If not properly removed, algae and mold growth can be responsible for reducing the lifespan of roofs by by an estimated 40-50% 

Dark colors absorb more heat than light colors, so having dark mold on your roof can also raise the temperature in your attic. Thus, keeping your roof clean of unwanted mold growth not only protects the life expectancy of your roof - it can also keep your energy costs down during the summer months.

Like decks and fences, roofs are extremely susceptible to damage from high pressure washes. Roofs should only be cleaned via soft power washing with appropriate chemicals. Consider this a friendly reminder not to let anyone with a high pressure washer come near your roof.

Best PowerWash Dallas Can Help!

There is more to residential power washing that meets the eye. If you're looking for a trustworthy, efficient power washing company near Frisco, McKinney, Carrollton, Plano, Denton, or any other Dallas suburb, don't hesitate to give us a call! Best PowerWash Dallas is here to help you with all of your residential power washing needs.

Estimates are always free, so give us a call today at (214) 553-0431!

6 Reasons to Power Wash Your Home

What is the difference between memorizing and learning? Memorization is the ability to reproduce important, pertinent, and/or interesting information at a moment's notice. Memorization is a wonderful skill that serves many people well, but it has serious limitations. If someone has memorized information, their knowledge is superficial. Once he has recited that which he memorized, he is unable to further expound on his topic. Learning, on the other hand, is the act of internalizing and understanding information, wholly and completely. Unlike the man who memorized, the man who learned will be able to expand on his topic and teach it to others.

At Best PowerWash Dallas, we believe that you cannot have a complete appreciation for something unless you have learned it. We believe in the importance of power washing your home, for example, but it won't help for us to preach our message to you. In order for you to feel motivated to hire a professional residential power washing company, you have to understand for yourself why it is such an important aspect of home-ownership.

In order to educate our community and to help you gain this important understanding, we put together a list of six reasons why you should power wash your home.

1. Power Washing Protects Your Home From Damage
Mold, pollen, bird droppings, and other natural substances accumulate on our homes over time, and can cause permanent and expensive damage to the surfaces of your home if not removed. Cleaning the exterior of your home can prevent these damages from occurring.

2. Power Washing Lowers Allergens
Allergic reactions to floating mold spores are incredibly common in many people. It is impossible to prevent stray spores from floating by or through your home, but power washing can remove them before they have a chance to develop into established colonies, thus reducing the number of allergic reactions for you and your family.

3. Power Washing is Efficient
Many cleaning methods (scrubbing, soaking, sweeping, mopping, etc) require a lot of time and patience. Power washing, however, is one of the quickest and most efficient cleaning methods available; it allows you to clean large structures - such as your home - much more quickly than you could using any other method.

4. Power Washing Saves Money
This may seem counter- intuitive, but it's true: hiring a professional power washing company can actually save you money! That's because power washing your home costs much less than it would to repair your home from the damages that result from not power washing. Power washing can also give your home the same shiny new appearance that painting your home does - for less than half the price!

5. Power Washing Keeps You Safe
Mold and mildew (even small colonies) can make seemingly safe surfaces surprisingly slick. Power washing your driveway, patio, steps, and pathways can remove these hazards before someone slips and falls.

6. Power Washing Increases Your Home's Value
Because dirt slowly accumulates over time, we typically don't realize how dirty our homes are until we finally clean them. It's no secret that clean homes are much more visually appealing. If you're considering selling your home in the near future, power washing is a worthwhile investment. You may not realize how much your home needs it!

We hope that these reasons have helped increase your understanding of power washing and how it can benefit you and your home. If you would like more information or if you are ready to take action, don't hesitate to give Best PowerWash Dallas a call! We are ready and excited to work with you.

Are You Unknowingly a Mold Farmer?

It's a blissful scene, really. You're relaxing with your spouse on your big, comfy couch in your beautiful living room after a long day. Your kids' gleeful shouts carry up the stairs, and you smile, just taking in the scene.

The only thing marring this picturesque scene are the tiny spores, invisible to the naked eye, floating through the air. These little spores seem innocent enough; they're microscopic in size and they aren't attached to anything. However, don't be fooled by their seemingly harmless first impression. Under the proper conditions, these spores can wreak havoc on your family's health and your home.

Best PowerWash Dallas is here to help you protect your home and your family by opening your eyes to some of the ways many homeowners unknowingly contribute to mold growth in their home. The biggest mistakes homeowners make is not paying extra attention to certain areas of their homes or yards that are particularly susceptible to mold growth.

North Side of Buildings/Fences

This may seem like an odd thing to highlight as the first area homeowners overlook, but that's precisely why it's so important. Mold thrives in moist, damp, dark environments. The north side of your home or fence gets significantly less sunlight during the day, which means it is more likely to exhibit the characteristics that attribute to mold growth. Thoroughly power washing the north side of your home or fence will help cut down on mold growth. 

Shaded Areas

Your yard may be on the south side of your home, but if it's heavily shaded, it may be subject to the same amount of mold growth that the north side of your home is. For example, the bench in this beautiful, shaded garden could be a prime location for mold to flourish. Take some time to critically evaluate your shaded areas to see if any of them require special attention.

Areas with Frequent Irrigation and/or Poor Drainage

Moisture is essential for mold growth. When drifting mold spores land in a moist environment, they can quickly multiply into an entire colony. We strongly recommend paying close attention to areas near your home or yard that are irrigated by private wells and/or areas that have poor drainage, as these damp areas are the perfect location for mold to grow.

Mold spores can cause moderate to severe allergic reactions for many people, especially those with asthma or other preexisting respiratory disorders. The inside of your home may be completely mold-free, but if the outside of your home is not, mold spores can be carried into your home on air currents - straight into your family's lungs. A cleaner exterior makes for a healthier interior, so starting with these important outside areas we just mentioned will help get you started on the right track.

Best PowerWash Dallas is expanding! We now offer home mold remediation services in addition to our residential and commercial power washing services. 

Estimates are always free, so give us a call today at (214) 553-0431!

Cleaning Different Surfaces: Condition, Materials, & Chemicals

"The front of my house is looking kinda dirty... I'll just rent a power washer and take care of that this weekend."

This seemingly quick and simple solution is, unfortunately, not nearly as quick and simple as it sounds. At best, untrained homeowners may not be able to get a thorough or effective clean. At worst, they may cause accidental damage to their homes because they do not realize the harmful effects many pressure washers have.

Different types of surfaces also require different approaches in order to effectively clean them. Last week, we received an excellent question on Twitter from Keyhouse Media. We decided that it deserved a longer answer than what we could fit on Twitter, so we decided to feature it in this week's blog.

Condition Matters. 

Many people believe that the type of surface you want to clean dictates the cleaning methods you should use, but this is actually incorrect. In reality, the condition of the surface matters much more than its type.

Worn surfaces that have not been maintained well are the toughest to clean. These surfaces are more easily damaged with aggressive cleaning, so they must be handled much more delicately. Obviously, then, carefully examining the condition of the surface is very important.

Material Matters Too.

While the condition of the surface plays a bigger role in determining how you should clean it, the material it is made of does also have an impact on the cleaning methods that should be used. Here are a few examples.

• Stone can be more challenging to clean than brick because algae can actually take root inside the material (not just along the surface). When this happens, several applications of the cleaning chemical may be required.
• Brick that has been glazed may be cleaned more easily, but the mortar may have been subject to previous freeze/thaw damage and must be treated delicately. 
• Concrete that does not have a skim coat on top must also be treated carefully. Aggressive washing can actually wash away the top layer, making it more susceptible to spalling after a freeze. ("Spalling" means breaking, splitting, or chipping.)

Don't Forget About the Cleaning Chemicals.

As if the condition and material of the surfaces weren't enough, cleaning chemicals are another factor that must be considered when formulating your cleaning strategy. Cleaning chemicals are made specifically for removing certain things (such as algae, rust, or paint) from certain materials (such as wood, brick, or stone), so it's important to make sure you're using the right one.

Professional Experience Can Help You.

If you don't have a lot of practice power washing your home, it can be incredibly difficult to determine which method will be the best. Having an experienced professional on your side can make a world of difference! Save yourself the hassle by contacting Best PowerWash Dallas today. We can help you with all of your commercial and residential power washing needs!

Mold is SPOOKY!

With Halloween right around the corner, those of as Best PowerWash Dallas thought it would be appropriate to shed some light on one of homeowners' spookiest threats:

MOLD

At first glance, mold's greatest danger appears to be an ugly eyesore on your ceilings, walls, or even your furniture. Unfortunately, mold poses much greater threats than that.

Causes of Mold

Mold begins as a tiny spore. Invisible to the naked eye, these spores are carried through slight air currents through the air. If they land in an area with appropriate moisture, they can begin to grow. If not stopped, a single spore can develop into a large colony. 

Dangers of Mold

While most types of mold are non-toxic, they are very common allergens and can be the culprit behind your family's respiratory problems and seemingly cause-less allergic reactions. Touching or inhaling mold spores commonly causes:

• Coughing
• Wheezing
• Runny Noses
• Bloodshot Eyes, and 
• Skin Rashes

For people who have asthma or other respiratory issues, exposure to mold and spores can also trigger moderate to severe asthma attacks.

Mold Prevention

While there are many different types of mold frequently found in homes, they all have one thing in common: all molds require a steady amount of moisture to survive. Consequently, most molds are found in bathrooms, basements, kitchens, laundry rooms, and other parts of the home with elevated moisture levels. Reducing the moisture levels in your home, then, is the easiest way to prevent mold growth. Installing and maintaining air conditioners and dehumidifiers is a great first step towards combating moisture levels. Also, don't forget to check the caulking around doors, windows, and roof plumbing boots!

Mold Removal

If you already have a mold problem in your home, your best bet is to contact a mold removal expert. Mold can be a tricky enemy, and you need to feel confident that you're successfully protecting your family from its threats. Best PowerWash Dallas specializes in removing home mold in the Dallas suburbs, and we would be happy to help you fix your mold problem - and help prevent it from recurring in the future!

Autumn Home Maintenance tips!

Fall is officially upon us! As the temperatures begin to drop and the leaves begin to fade, we are reminded that autumn the perfect time to prepare your home for the upcoming winter months. As your number one home care resource in Dallas, Best Power Wash Dallas compiled a few autumn home maintenance tips for you and your family to use as we get into Fall.

Clean Your Gutters

Falling leaves have a definite knack for cluttering up your gutters. Water does not flow easily through clogged gutters, so you'll want to clear them out once the majority of leaves have fallen from the trees.

Seal Your Doors and Windows

As cooler temperatures approach, you want to be sure your home will be able to keep you warm without wasting tons of electricity. Take the time to caulk and weatherstrip your doors and windows now, before the it gets too cold outside.

Check Your Paint

Thanks to lower the humidity levels and cooler temperatures, fall is a great time to repaint your home. Check your home thoroughly to see if the paint on your home is blistering, peeling, or in general need of a fresh coat. If you do decide to repaint, contact Best PowerWash Dallas to help clean your home before painting - paint sticks more easily to clean surfaces!

Prepare Your Fireplace

There's nothing quite so cozy as curling up in front of a crackling fire on a cold winter day. Take the time now to get your chimney inspected to make sure everything is clean and in good working order - before you actually need it!

Reverse Your Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are a great way to maximize your heater/air conditioner by stimulating air flow throughout your house. Your fan should be set to rotate counter-clockwise during the summer so that it pushes the air down on you, creating a breezy, cooling effect. Switch the fan's direction so that it rotates clockwise in the winter. This will pull the air in the room upwards and push the warm air back down to you, without causing any wind chill.

Rake Your Leaves

A yard covered in colored leaves can be a beautiful sight, but they can turn into a nasty mess if they begin decomposing under a layer of snow. Do yourself a favor and clear your yard of leaves before any chance of snowfall.

We hope you find this tips helpful! What else do you do to prepare your home for autumn? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Our soft power washing technologies enable us to clean almost every surface, from concrete to wood to stucco. Estimates are always free, so give us a call today at (214) 553-0431!

Cleaning EIFS and Wood Surfaces

Take it from someone who knows; commercial and residential power washing is not as easy as it looks! In order to get the safest and most effective clean for each surface, you must use different power washing and pressure washing techniques for different services. Best PowerWash Dallas is here to help you understand the subtle differences and determine which power washing technique will best suit your needs. Today, we're going to look specifically at how to clean EIFS and wooden surfaces.

EIFS

"EIFS" stands for Exterior Insulation and Finishing System, a material commonly used on exterior walls to insulate and waterproof homes. Like any outdoor material, EIFS is subject to the wear and tear of insects, bird droppings, and varying weather conditions. Power washing EIFS every few years can give it a much-needed facelift. However, its delicate nature makes EIFS rather difficult to clean - and, unfortunately, easy to damage. At Best PowerWash Dallas, we rely on the detergent (not the water pressure level) to handle the heavy cleaning. This soft washing technology allows us to effectively clean EIFS surfaces without damaging them.

Wood

Wood is an incredible popular material for building homes, decks, patios, platforms, and more. It is easy come by, easy to use, and easy to maintain. Wood can be used to build very stable structures, but it cannot withstand the damaging high pressure used by some inexperienced pressure washers. If the pressure is too high, the power washer can actually etch unwanted lines into the wooden surfaces. As with EIFS, the solution requires a delicate balance between moderate water pressure and effective detergents. Best PowerWash Dallas uses only the best power washing detergents available, so we can be sure to get the best clean for your home, deck, and other wooden surfaces.

Gentle Rust Removal Chemicals
Rust removal is a delicate process. Common methods involve sanding, grinding, or using muratic acid, but these harsh techniques often cause irreparable damage to the original surface. We use gentle chemicals that enable us to reverse the natural oxidation process that caused the rust in the first place, thus removing rust without causing damage.
