Potential Hazards
When you are considering having your home professionally power washed, you may be focused on restoring your home’s cleanliness and exterior curb appeal. What you may not realize is that power washing is also the best defense against mold, a hidden danger faced by many homeowners.
Mold spores are microscopic. Because mold is a fungus, not a plant, it produces spores. These spores are so tiny that they are smaller than human hair: A mold spore ranges in size from 3 to 4 microns; in comparison, a strand of human hair is 100-150 microns, per the Florida Solar Energy Center. You and your family could be ingesting spores of mold while you are outside playing or doing yard work without even realizing it.
Mold grows and spreads very quickly. Damp, dark conditions are ideal for mold growth, meaning that areas like roof shingles, pipes, or house siding are ideal breeding grounds for mold. Tiny spores quickly multiply.
Mold causes serious health concerns. People who have a mold allergy or asthma may have a stronger reaction to mold. For example, coughing or worsened asthma symptoms can be a result of breathing in mold spores. Other symptoms include eye or skin irritation, throat irritation, or a stuffy nose.
Too much pressure on vinyl siding or stucco can cause damage to the surface, the same thing with concrete cleaning.
Similarly, excessive pressure on a deck can tear up the wood. When we’re cleaning wood decks, we’re using what we call low pressure.
When you’re cleaning the exterior of the house, window and door seals need to be protected to prevent leaks. Windows could also break if you inadvertently hit them with the same pressure you’re using for the rest of the house.
