EXCELLENCE IN EVERY WASH.

As the cooler months approach, it's time to give your outdoor spaces the attention they deserve.

Fall is the perfect season to prepare your property for the upcoming winter, and a little maintenance now can prevent costly repairs later on.

Staying on top of these fall tasks ensures your spaces remain beautiful and well-maintained until your next pressure washing service. We're just a call away if you haven't scheduled your seasonal service yet!

Let's kick things off with some tips for your outdoor spaces. (Also, be sure to check out the employee spotlight on Cindie, a valuable part of the Envirowash team!)

4 Fall Cleaning Tips for Homeowners

1. Tackle Leaf Stains Before They Set

If left too long, fallen leaves can leave stubborn tannin stains on driveways, patios, and decks. Wet leaves stain porous surfaces, making them difficult to clean once temperatures drop. A quick pressure wash in the fall can prevent these stains from becoming permanent, ensuring your outdoor spaces stay clean and ready for the colder months.

2. Clean Your Roof and Gutters

Clogged gutters filled with leaves and debris can lead to water overflow, causing damage to your roof, siding, and foundation. Cleaning them in the fall helps prevent ice dams and costly winter repairs. Additionally, a clean roof free of debris allows water to drain correctly and extends the lifespan of your roof, ensuring it weathers the winter months without issue.

3. Repair Cracks in Driveways and Walkways

The freeze-thaw cycle in winter can turn small cracks into significant problems. Water seeps into these cracks, freezes, and expands, causing further damage. Power washing the area before sealing these cracks helps create a smooth surface for the sealant to adhere to, protecting your walkways and driveways from winter's harsh conditions.

4. Protect Outdoor Furniture and Surfaces

Before storing or covering your outdoor furniture for winter, thoroughly clean it with a power washer. Removing summer grime, pollen, and mildew prevents damage during the off-season. Power washing your decks and patios before sealing them ensures they stay in excellent condition through fall and winter.

4 Fall Cleaning Tips for Businesses

1. Wash Walkways and Entrances

Commercial properties often have high-traffic areas, such as walkways and entrances, which can become dirty and slippery from mud, leaves, and debris. Regular power washing in the fall helps prevent accidents and ensures a clean, safe entrance for customers and employees.

2. Clean Parking Lots and Outdoor Spaces

Parking lots and outdoor spaces collect a lot of debris over the summer, from dirt and grime to oil spills. Fall is the perfect time to wash these areas, giving your commercial property a fresh, professional appearance while preventing oil and grease from causing damage during winter.

3. Inspect and Clean Signage, Awnings, and Building Exteriors

A clean and well-maintained exterior makes a great first impression. Power wash your building's siding, signage, and awnings to remove dirt, mildew, and pollutants that accumulate over the summer. Not only does this enhance your property's curb appeal, but it also prevents damage to these structures as the weather worsens.

4. Clear and Maintain Gutters and Drainage Systems

Clean gutters and drainage systems are essential for commercial buildings to prevent winter water damage, leaks, and ice formation. Clear debris from gutters and downspouts to avoid blockages that could lead to more significant problems during heavy rain or snow. Power washing helps remove built-up grime and ensures proper water flow.

CUSTOMER REVIEW

Wow! What a wonderful job the team from Envirowash did for our backyard hardscaping!!

It was quite aged - dirt, moss, and weeds! It absolutely looks like a new backyard. The team thoroughly cleaned everything, and then sealed it beautifully.

The grass and vegetation next to the area did not suffer a bit - something we were concerned about. They brought all the right cleaning equipment which worked like a charm.

The crew was delightful to work with and cleaned up like they had never been there. We did our research on potential companies and are delighted with our eventual choice. The pricing was in line with other similar groups.

We could not have asked for a better job or better company to work with. We would HIGHLY recommend them!!
