The International Journal of Environmental Health Research provides evidence showing that children’s playgrounds are far more contaminated than public restrooms. As parents it is our crucial responsibility to make sure that our children are safe throughout the day and although a playground may seem harmless it can be a threatening breeding ground for viruses. It is necessary to disinfect play areas properly to further protect our kids from harmful germs.

Washing and sealing your wooden deck is important for maintaining its desirable look and protecting its firm grip for walking on. Wooden decks are perfect surfaces for mold to grow on due to its porosity, after a cold winter and rainy spring its essential to give your deck a thorough wash to prevent dirt and mold spores from deteriorating the surface. Overtime a dirty mold infested deck will breakdown and lose its firm grip, which is nothing more than an accident waiting to happen. The CDC estimates that 17,000 people slip and die each year, not sure how many of those people slipped on their decks but better safe than sorry I always say. Give your deck a brand-new look and prevent serious falls due to slippery mold accumulation!

For people who suffer from allergies and are sensitive to pollen it is recommended that you have your windows cleaned at least once during the spring season. Pollen tends to stick on the corners and crevices of windows because of its rubber lining that prevents water from entering. Allergens build up and when you open your windows or door the wind will carry some pollen inside which will increase your symptoms. Having your windows cleaned minimizes the amount of allergens present in and around your home therefore reducing your symptoms and hopefully eliminating them completely.

Cleaning your gutters is necessary and if not done will cost you thousands of dollars and your health. As dead leaves and loose branches fall off trees during Autumn they land in gutters and cause clogged downspouts where water cannot flow down properly. This excess water will pour over the gutters edge and onto your home, then making its way down to the foundation. The water pooling around your home will erode the foundation which can be a very costly repair (up to 250k depending on the size of the home). Along with the financial burden there is also a health risk by not maintaining gutters. The accumulation of rotting debris in gutters makes them a good home for pests and rodents along with a bacteria called Legionella pneumophila. Research by the CDC shows how exposure to this bacteria results in Legionnaires Disease which can be deadly. Every home should have its gutters cleaned at least once per year and for homes with many surrounding trees, twice a year is recommended.

Research shows that exposure to molds and algae can lead to and increase the chances of one developing conditions such as Aspergillosis, Histoplasmosis, Blastomycosis and Fungal Pneumonia. When rain falls on your roof it rinses mold spores off the shingles and into your gutters and into the air, if you are a person who spends time outside in the yard or someone who keeps your windows open you are at higher risk due to more exposure of the contaminated air surrounding your home. It is recommended that you have your roof cleaned every at least once every 5 years to ensure that it remains clean and mold free for everyone to enjoy the outdoors safely. There are many sources to prove this is true, the link below will take you to the CDC website. https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/aspergillosis/index.html

Having a roof with moss, green patches (fungal lichen) or black algae stains (bacteria known as Gloeocapsa Magma) are harmful to both your health and wallet. Moss is a soft and porous carpet like organism that feeds on the organic matter in roof shingles, its texture allows for the buildup of allergens and dirt on your roof which can lead to respiratory issues or intensify respiratory issues in people who are susceptible (asthmatics, people who are hypoallergenic sensitive). Moss retains water like a sponge due to its absorbent texture, this is terrible for your roof because the water is never able to dry properly in between shingles which could lead to a full interior home mold remediation or even the home being condemned. If moss is not immediately removed from your roof the shingles will disintegrate and damage the main layer of the roof. Having your roof softwashed will keep your roof safe and damage free for years to come.
