The fence around your home or business takes a beating, with constant exposure to the harsh elements of New York weather 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This means that it picks up debris, ages, stains, and starts to look bad over time. Fortunately, by taking care of it with regular professional pressure washing services, Rochester residents can help reduce the impact of this exposure while keeping their fences looking fabulous.
Clean Up Your Fencing with Quality Pressure Washing!
The humidity and regular moisture in upstate New York can provide the perfect conditions for algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and moss to build up on the surface of your fencing, depending on the type of material it’s made of. If you have a wood fence, these organisms can begin to break down your fencing, causing it to begin breaking down prematurely and shortening its lifespan. In other fencing materials, these organisms can cause staining and premature aging.
When you take actions to regularly remove these compounds from your fencing, you’re extending its lifespan, but there are more benefits to pressure washing your fencing than that. Power washing your fence starts with detergent that helps to remove a range of dried-on materials, such as leaves, animal droppings, moss, or other debris that has become stuck to the surface. Once the detergent is applied, it may be allowed to sit for a brief period of time to allow it to work into the surface.
The next step involves using water under pressure to rinse the detergent off. It’s important that you have someone who knows what they’re doing handle this, as the softer wood and vinyl commonly used in fencing can be damaged if too high a pressure is used. Once the fence has been cleaned, it can dry for a minimum of 48 hours before sealing or painting it to protect it from future damage.
By getting regular fence cleaning by a pressure washing service, Rochester residents can remove these signs of age and improve the overall lifespan and appearance of their fences.
