The Benefits of Exterior Cleaning

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Today more and more people are realizing the importance of keeping their home’s exterior clean and maintained. It raises home values and also saves the homeowner money by stopping the damaging effects of dirt, mold, and mildew. Many sellers are beginning to see the benefits of putting a little money into their home’s before listing them on the market.

It used to be that nobody wanted to put another dime into a house they were selling, they really didn’t see the plus in it. They might dump all kinds of money into the home they were buying but not one dime into a house they were handing over to someone else. But today people are benefiting from sinking a little money into a home before selling it because it raises the value and will yield them more back out of it.

It most cases with exterior pressure washing, having the home washed and especially having the roof cleaned if it is suffering from roof algae, will give the homeowner their money back and then some. An exterior cleaning can raise the home value by 5-10 percent in some cases which will yield them back way more than they spent to have the house washed.

Another benefit is that it helps their house stand apart from the competition or all the other home’s for sale in that price range. This can mean just because your roof or siding is nice and clean, your home could sell before the neighbors home. So there are many benefits to having your home’s exterior cleaned during the time you live there and even if you are getting ready to list it.

Roof Cleaning With a Pressure Washer | Is it Safe?

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Many people are still confused about roof cleaning and whether or not it is safe to do on an asphalt shingle roof. The confusion comes from inexperienced bloggers and contractors trying to make money off of consumers. They are typically either selling inferior roof cleaning products or trying to drive traffic to a web page so they can sell ad space.

As a contractor, I do not benefit from telling you the truth. It may get me a few local jobs here and there but for someone reading this blog across the country, it does not benefit me at all. The truth about cleaning roofs is that it is safe and recommended by the shingle manufacturers but with guidelines. You can look it up yourself by doing a search online. They recommend the use of a bleach mix applied with low pressure to clean shingles suffering from roof algae. They produce the shingles, they know the material better than anyone else, so wouldn’t it make sense to follow their recommendations? I think so.

Yet there are people out there that call themselves contractors writing articles and doing videos on roof cleaning and suggesting that it is safe to use a pressure washer. The shingle manufacturers like Owens Corning and GAF warn against the use of a pressure washer! Why anyone would go against what the shingle producers warn against is beyond me. Like I said before, they are just trying to increase traffic to their web pages so they can sell products or ad space and make money. A certain “ask the builder” blogger, among others are simply giving false information to consumers.

Would you do something harsh to your vehicle if a certified mechanic warned you against doing it? I don’t think so but the problem is that consumers come across these bad information sites before they find a truthful one and then it is too late. The bottom line is never wash your asphalt shingle roof or allow anyone else to with a high pressure washer. The excessive pressure may not result in immediate visual damage but it will lessen the longevity of your roof. There is a much better way to rid a roof of mold, lichen, and algae and it is the way the shingle manufacturers recommend; low pressure.

The newly designed Vacu-Boom is a flexible, hollow five inch tube. That tube is then laid flat in order to create a small hill or a dam from the side. Alternately, it can be used in this way to encircle the whole containment or wash area.

The open side of the Vacu-Boom should always be down so that you can see the cross section, which is shaped like a “C”. The boom has small holes located on the boom’s water side to let liquids in. When the Vacu-Boom is in use, it is connected to a recovery unit by a twenty-five foot hose. The Vacu-Boom is ideal to use with any water containment systems.

Understanding the Benefits

The benefits of water containment systems such as the Vacu-Boom is that the boom is applicable on several different hard surfaces including asphalt, concrete, steel and wood. The Vacu-Boom can be set up or taken down in less then five minutes. This is not only a durable piece of equipment, but also fast and efficient. Use the Vacu-Boom in any of your water containment systems applications.

Other advantages of using the Vacu-Boom are that this piece of equipment both detains and wheedles out waste water as well as other liquids. Luckily, the materials used to create this amazing water containment system don’t soak up the liquids themselves or the contaminants in the liquids.

Another benefit to using the Vacu-Boom is that the boom is easy to move and keep in storage because the boom breaks into sections that are just five feet in length – which means it will fit in any truck or van as well as any storage area.

The Vacu-Boom has a very high tolerance when dealing with chemicals such as petro, acids and caustics. These are just some of the many benefits of using the Vacu-Boom with water containment systems.

The Vacu-Boom is described as a practical yet innovative wash water containment system that prevents any run off when performing washing applications outdoors or indoors. This is an incredibly efficient spill containment system that can handle several kinds of dangerous materials.

These types of wash water containment systems, including the closed loop system and the sloped surface containment system can be used when performing outdoor equipment or vehicle washing, in-plant equipment washing, the cleaning of boats and ships to prevent deck run off, emergency storm water containment, cleaning marinas to prevent contamination run off, parking lot or sidewalk washing, aircraft washing and when dealing with emergency hazardous liquid spill containment.
