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!

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.

Many people opt to buy or rent their own pressure washing machine so they can power wash their own homes, but they may not be aware of the possible dangers that lie ahead. Hiring a trained, accredited professional can save you many headaches and frustrations in the long run. If you're considering power washing the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, Best PowerWash Dallas would be happy to help you!

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!
