Decks and patios are the heart of many Kiwi homes in the summer. That makes them the perfect spot for entertaining guests and enjoying the warm evenings. However, decks can be prone to algae growth, which can make your deck slippery and potentially hazardous. Due to constant exposure to the elements, decks are also prone to accumulating dirt and mould, and it is recommended you get your deck professionally power washed every year to maintain its appearance and ensure its longevity.
While you can clean your deck yourself, a garden hose can’t provide the same results as a professional deck washing service. Additionally, a professionally applied sealant or stain following deck washing can greatly improve the appearance of your deck.
If your deck has accumulated dirt and grime, mould, or algae or it’s simply lost its shine, it may be time to find a professional deck cleaning service provider through Ezy Peazy.
The first step of a deck washing service is a surface assessment. This includes noting the overall condition of your deck, such as past sealant application and any mould or algae buildup. The structural integrity of your deck will also be assessed, including locating loose nails or rot. Lastly, an assessment also takes drainage and nearby vegetation into account, to ensure the cleaning agent used won’t harm the surrounding area and the water used can drain freely.
The surface assessment of your deck will allow the tasker you hire through Ezy Peazy to tailor the deck washing service specifically to your deck, ensuring a damage-free clean.
Power washing is a fast and effective way to clean your deck, as the use of pressurised water clears away any buildup of dirt, grime, and other undesirable elements. Depending on your deck’s material and overall condition, your deck will be washed using the appropriate pressure setting, which ranges from gentle to high pressure to ensure no damage is done to your deck during cleaning. Typically, power washing is done after a cleaning agent has been applied to your deck.
The cleaning agent is used to clear away grime or kill mould and algae, which can deteriorate the condition of your deck and pose slipping and other potential health hazards. If your deck needs a little TLC, Ezy Peazy can quickly connect you with a local tasker who will leave your deck spotless following a thorough power wash.
Stain and sealer removal is an important part of the deck cleaning process. The removal of old sealant is especially important when preparing your deck for a fresh treatment, or refinishing, as old sealant can interfere with your deck’s absorption of new sealant. When it comes to stripping stains and old sealer from your deck, it's important to use the right product for your deck, as certain kinds of woods, such as cedar and pine, are susceptible to damage from chemical strippers.
A tasker you find through Ezy Peazy will complete their surface assessment of your deck before using any chemical products to remove stains and old sealant. This will ensure no damage is done to your deck during the deck washing process.
Minor repairs can become major hazards if they’re left untreated, so it's important to repair exposed nails or broken boards before they cause problems. A local tasker you hire through Ezy Peazy for your deck washing can fix loose board nails or broken railings and perform other minor deck repairs. Rotten deck boards are another common issue that can be identified and replaced, depending on the severity of the rot. All necessary repairs will be noted during the surface assessment and carried out with your consent alongside your deck washing service.
If you’d like to give your deck an extra layer of protection, or would simply like to enhance its appearance, talk to your tasker about optional sealing and staining. Sealants act as a shield against the elements, like moisture and UV rays, which can damage your deck in the long run. If you’re after deck staining to elevate or maintain the appearance of your deck, there are a range of different deck stains available to achieve the perfect finish for your deck. You can either ask your tasker to take care of the whole job for you, or you can buy the right stain or varnish yourself from a reputable supplier like Mitre 10 or Bunnings, then ask your tasker to apply it.
If you’d like your deck sealed or stained, Ezy Peazy’s database of deck washing taskers can help you quickly find the right service provider for the job.
