How to Keep Your Home Clean During Maryland's Humid Summers

How pressure washing protects your home from Maryland's intense summers and humidy.

The humidity (and heat advisories) is here, which means blasting the AC and staying indoors for most Marylanders. While you're seeking refuge inside, though, you don't want to neglect the outside of your home, the part that is constantly exposed to the intense heat and changing elements. Humidity creates the perfect environment for mold and algae to grow on your home's exterior surfaces including your siding, roof, and driveway. How do you protect your property from Maryland's intense summer weather?

Boost Curb Appeal & Extend Property Life

Pressure washing keeps your home fresh and clean year-round. While the best times to do this are during the more mild seasons like spring and fall, there is no hard and fast rule for when you can (or should) pressure wash (however, you should avoid doing so during the winter). It also depends on the amount of grime on your property before the humidity set in. The more contaminant buildup there is sitting around your property, the sooner you should pressure wash.
A clean home functions properly. So not only do you boost curb appeal but you extend the life of your property with a thorough cleaning. Remove mold and mildew before they begin to deteriorate the surfaces around your home!
