The Impact of Weathering on Your Deck
Over time, your deck faces challenges - from harsh sunlight and heavy rains to dirt, mildew, and mold. These elements contribute to discoloration, stains, and the gradual deterioration of the wood. Regular maintenance is essential to counteract these effects and keep your deck looking its best. Pressure washing companies like ours can easily remove these signs of weathering with our tools and techniques.
The Power of Deck Cleaning
Deck pressure washing removes ingrained dirt, mold, algae, and old finishes or sealants. The high-pressure water stream cleans the surface and revitalizes the wood, exposing its natural beauty. This step is crucial for preparing the deck for subsequent treatments like staining or sealing. You should always pressure wash a deck, especially wood, before staining, sealing, or painting it. A new stain or sealant sticks better to a clean surface.
Proper Preparations for Deck Pressure Washing
Before starting the pressure washing process, ensure the deck is clear of any furniture, plants, or debris. Cover nearby plants with plastic sheeting to protect them from cleaning solutions. If there are loose or damaged boards, fix them before pressure washing to avoid further damage during cleaning. Before pressure washing, sweep the deck to remove loose dirt, leaves, and debris. Pay attention to corners, gaps between boards, and areas around railings where debris may accumulate. Clearing the deck of loose particles ensures a more effective outcome.
Deck Maintenance After A Pressure Washing Service
After a thorough deck cleaning, allow the wood to dry completely before moving on to the next steps. Depending on your deck's condition, you may choose to apply a wood stain or sealant to protect and enhance its appearance. Regularly inspect the deck for signs of wear. Schedule periodic cleanings to maintain the deck's appearance and prevent the buildup of grime. The frequency depends on factors such as the local climate, the amount of foot traffic, and the presence of nearby trees. Regular cleanings help preserve the results of the initial pressure washing and contribute to the overall longevity of the deck.
