SOFT WASHING FOR DECKS

Mother nature’s weather events can be devastating to wood. Rain, snow, and dew are quickly absorbed by unprotected wood, causing it to swell. The dampness attracts pollen and fungal spores, which collect and cause discoloration along with shrinkage from the suns heat drying the surface. These cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking will cause the wood to warp, split, crack, and become unattractive and this is where deck power washing can help.

"PRESSURE-TREATED" DOESN'T MEAN "WEATHERPROOF"

Mostly decks are made with pressure-treated wood. Pressure-treated wood is protected against wood rot and termites; however, pressure treatment can’t give the wood protection against the outdoor elements.

SOLID STAIN/PAINTED DECKS WHERE YOU CANNOT SEE THE WOOD GRAIN

These decks need prep cleaning. This process can be used on plastic and composite decks without causing damage. Prep cleaning removes mold, mildew, and dirt however doesn’t remove stains, paints, or sealants. WCSM Pressure Washing will power wash your deck, removing mold, algae, dirt, and UV-damaged wood fibers.

Most decks need to be stripped to remove old sealants and stains. WCSM Pressure Washing uses a solution that is safe for surrounding vegetation. Following cleaning all decks should have a sealant or stain applied to protect them from rain and sun. WCSM Pressure Washing staff are experts at using all types of sealants and stains for your deck.

COMPOSITE DECKING

Composite decks can easily be cleaned if you use the right mix of solutions to prep clean the boards prior power washing. The prep cleaning is critical to achieve maximum results to the decks surface.

Although composite decks are very durable it is important to use low pressure to avoid damaging the material.
