 | Do you live close to the coast?Did you know that the number one cause of structural damage among coastal properties is salt built up? Heavy sea breezes and winds caused by storms transport sodium chloride in water droplets. These droplets shower down on structures leaving a layer of salt residue on your home. Salt is a powerful mineral and can cause structural damage to a buildings’ façade, causing it to breakdown over time. This weathering affect causes porous building materials such as brick, sandstone, concrete and limestone to deteriorate. Calcium build-up can cause pitting on metal surfaces leading to corrosion. Salt damage can have an impact on structures within a 20km radius of any body of salt water. |
Researchers have proven that regular cleaning of buildings to rid them of salt can significantly reduce damage and prolong a structure's life.Findings showed that the greater the supersaturation of the salt solution, the more destructive the salt. Temperature fluctuations and environmental conditions also have effects on the degree of salt damage caused to a structure. High winds or constant heat and sunlight can cause structures to deteriorate at a rapid rate. | TO COUNTERACT THE DETERIORATION PROCESS, WE RECOMMEND … having buildings and structures within a 20km radius of any body of salt water cleaned once every 6 months (12kms) and once every 12 months (13-20km). |
 | Preventative MaintenanceDuring the winter months, moisture can cause considerable damage staining your home’s exterior surfaces. By allowing grit and grime to build up on surfaces for extended periods of time can result in stains causing permanent damage. Crevices are especially susceptible to the accumulation of dirt, algae, and grime, while mildew and mould thrive in shaded areas. Mould damages painted surfaces and concrete coatings, if left unchecked for prolonged periods of time the deterioration of a structures finishings can be detrimental. A little preventive maintenance can go a long way towards maintaining the value of your property and avoiding costly repairs. Pressure washing is the most cost-effective way to wash the entire exterior of your home. By making pressure washing a part of your consistent maintenance routine , you can ensure your home looks new for years to come. |
