How to Clean Gutters With DFW Five Star Pressure Washing Tarrant County, TX — Rain gutters are important tools that help properties last longer. This is because gutters catch rainwater and channel it to the ground. This ensures that rainwater does not gather on your property’s exterior surfaces and causes moisture damage. However, gutters sometimes catch more than rainwater. For example, they may gather leaves, bird nests, twigs, and other large pieces of debris. These can negatively affect your gutters’ functionality, so consider gutter cleaning to resolve this problem. Whether you choose to do this work on your own or schedule an appointment with DFW Five Star Pressure Washing, this process will ensure that your gutters are in proper working order again. Removing Debris By Hand To clean gutters, you will need to climb a ladder so you can see inside them. Once you have this vantage point, you will be able to see all the debris inside your gutters. Proceed to remove these items by hand; then, you can properly dispose of them. It is recommended that you wear gloves while doing this work. You may also use a scoop or trowel to collect this debris. Once all large pieces of debris are out of the way, it should allow the unimpeded flow of water. You may also consider brushing the gutters’ interiors to remove any leftover residue. Afterwards, move along to the next stage of the process: flushing the downspouts. Cleaning Downspouts It can be difficult to remove debris from downspouts because they are enclosed spaces that you cannot reach into. To check for any clogs, use a hose to spray water into the downspout. If you are lucky, there will either be no debris, or you will disturb what little debris there is with the water. If the water you sprayed into the downspout does not emerge, it shows that there is a clog and that you will need to take extra steps to remove it.  One of the most efficient ways of removing downspout clogs is with a plumbing snake. This long metal cable can pierce through debris in your downspouts and break up clogs. Use the plumbing snake, and then, spray water into the downspout again. This should clear out stubborn debris and restore gutter functionality. You can also pour a combination of hot water and dish soap into downspouts to help break down clogs.

Removing Moss From Home Exteriors With DFW Five Star Pressure Washing Tarrant County, TX — A frustrating problem that many residential property owners deal with is the buildup of moss on their home exteriors. Moss, which occurs naturally throughout all environments, can take root and spread on home surfaces regardless of their material. Once it has made itself at home, it begins reproducing, meaning that a small patch of moss can quickly become an entire blanket. DFW Five Star Pressure Washing, a local pressure washing business, has encountered mossy home exteriors of all conditions. Because of this, the company has amassed vast knowledge of how to resolve this problem, which will be shared below. Why Moss Appears and Spreads On Home Exteriors What causes moss to appear on home exteriors? Moss spores are constantly flowing through the air and travel from place to place using the wind. Eventually, these moss spores settle on surfaces, and if these surfaces are moist and conducive to growth, the spores will sprout. This results in a patch of moss growing larger and larger as the weeks go by. If these patches of moss are not removed, they will begin releasing more spores, and those spores will not have to travel far to find a place to grow. This is how an “invasion” of moss begins on a home exterior. Removing Moss and Other Debris With House Soft Washing To remove moss from home exteriors, DFW Five Star Pressure Washing recommends a gentle “soft washing” technique. Soft washing is the use of warm, low-pressure water to remove debris from sensitive surfaces—such as home exteriors. Additionally, it is also beneficial to use special moss treatment chemicals, such as zinc powder, to kill the moss from the roots up. Zinc powder halts the biological processes of moss and quickly renders it harmless. This means no more spores and no more risk of the growth spreading across surfaces.
