Property maintenance is a continual job. Spring is around the corner and that means getting your spring clean-up tasks scheduled. If you have a commercial property, there are a few extra things you need to think of more than the average homeowner.

For starters, you are not as likely to do something just because it looks nice. You do what you have to do to see a healthy ROI. It might surprise you how an occasional power washing of your walkways makes a prudent property maintenance decision for spring cleaning.

Prevent Falls That Hurt Your ROI

Slips and falls due to vegetation overgrowth may not be the first cause of falls that comes to mind, but the legal liability of a fall on your property exists. The risk is particularly prevalent when walkways are wet. Morning dew, rain and watering systems make molds, algae, moss and other vegetation gathering on your walkways slippery.

Falls can also be from the buildup of salt and sand, especially when it gets tracked inside from sidewalks. The floors become thick with it and you can’t mop enough. Fashionable shoe wear isn’t known for having grippy treads. The slick flat feature of the soles makes walking on sand-covered floors more like an ice rink than a safe walkway. You only need someone to move too quickly or step wrong and salt or sand works like marbles underfoot.

Prevent Costly Walkway Replacement

Should your walkway develop a crack, the plants just can’t help themselves and move in, creating a bigger problem. Plant roots will make the crack bigger and further deteriorate the walkway, costing a chunk out of your profits. Lawncare services may spray weed killer, but they will not do more than leaf blow the week-old shriveled up remains. Pressure washing will remove both the plant as well as the root and dirt, leaving the sidewalk ready for patching so you can save your profits.
