Services
Do you have grass growing in your gutters? Or blocked and overflowing gutters? We remove organic debris from gutters and then check to see that the storm water system is flowing correctly and advise on this. This helps to prevent ponding where water sitting in the system can increase likeliness of corrosion. Improper maintenance here can also invalidate both manufacture and producer warranties.
According to the New Zealand Steel Specifiers and Builders Guide,June 2010, pg.7 “Corrosive dust and particles can be released through roof vents and discharged on to the roof surface. The immediate area of the roof adjacent to the vent is then at increased risk of corrosion.” One of their protocols to help prevent this is to regularly wash the area to remove these contaminants.
Areas where natural rainfall is insufficient to clean contaminants such as windblown salt and dust off a given surface including roofs are generally considered an ‘unwashed area.’ Typically these areas include the undersides of gutters, canopies roof vents or sheltered areas , canopies, veranda, eaves, etc. When these particles accumulate on painted surfaces and become moist corrosion will take place. Many windblown contaminants absorb moisture and when exposed to high humidity their presence on steel also accelerates corrosion. A maintenance washing programme should be in place to meet these warranty requirements Referenced from The New Zealand Steel Specifiers and Builders Guide, June 2010, Pg.10
Grime Off also offers the Hyrdo Pure cleaning system. This uses ultra-filtered pure water to easily remove the dust and dirt found on glazing and window frames. The ultra-pure water leaves a spot-free finish without needing a squeegee. This powerful system enables efficient cleaning of large scale commercial buildings and has zero impact on the environment.
