Buildings can endure the elements if they are properly maintained and cared for. If you take a house, for example, properly maintaining it is important to its longevity. Cleaning the gutter and driveway and washing windows all impact how the house functions. A high-rise building is the same, only on a much grander scale and with more risk associated with maintaining it.

Cities, where the vast majority of high-rise buildings exist, are prone to dirty air caused by traffic and air pollution, which means a building, particularly those made from concrete or stone, will need cleaning over time.

It’s important to keep buildings clean for environmental reasons too. After all, it’s better to be contributing to a cleaner city than be part of the problem. Buildings that look untidy and poorly maintained can negatively affect a business’s image, which can be important when conveying a feeling of professionalism.

This article looks at high-rise building pressure cleaning via rope access.

Why Pressure Clean a High-Rise Building?

Pressure washing a high-rise building is an essential part of maintaining a building’s lifespan.  

The majority of high-rise buildings can predominately be found in cities. Due to the tendency for these areas to be built up, the chances of dirt, dust, and grime from the surrounding environment can easily leach into buildings, leaving them dirty and impacting their performance over time.

It’s expensive and problematic for building owners and property managers alike, so it is important to regularly maintain buildings for optimal performance and reduce the need for repairs down the track.

Grime builds up on the exterior, and given that many high-rise buildings are made from concrete or stone, it requires something that can penetrate the porous material to clean the surface properly. That’s why a high-powered and effective cleaning tool is required to wash high-rise buildings.

Benefits of Pressure Cleaning a High-Rise Building

There are many benefits to pressure cleaning a high-rise building, mainly relating to the preventative maintenance of the building, but it doesn’t stop there.  

Let’s look more closely at how pressure cleaning benefits buildings, property owners, managers, workers and cities more broadly.

Property Value

Suppose you are a high-rise building owner, property manager, or running a business inside a high-rise. In that case, a clean building makes a visually appealing statement with a perceived market value potential that matters to businesses and investors. That’s why it’s important to keep a high-rise regularly pressure cleaned.

Whether a commercial or residential high-rise building, retaining its value should be front of mind for owners trying to attract a large business or an anchor tenant. If the building looks untidy, it may turn away a potential investor or tenant.

Pressure washing a high-rise gives high-rise buildings – even older ones, visual confirmation that they are well cared for and that there is a genuine interest to have the tenants’ needs front of mind, which, in turn, works for the owner or potential investor.

Preventative Maintenance

If a building is neglected over time, things will likely break down, so preventative maintenance of a high-rise is a must.

Buildings left to gather grime, dirt, mould and so on create a visual eyesore for passers-by, reduced air quality for the surrounding area and decay and rust of the building itself. 

Regularly pressure washing a high-rise building puts a stop to all of these things before it has a chance to become problematic.

Health, Wellbeing & Saftey

A poorly maintained building can have significant impacts on the health of workers’ health and safety. As dirt and dust accrue over time, it can seriously impact people’s respiratory health, seeping into air ventilation ducts through windows and plumbing. An untidy building not only impacts the health and well-being of workers but also results in sick leave and lost productivity which can impact the health and performance of a business.

Regularly scheduled pressure washing of the building means that these issues can be mitigated so that the health and safety of people are prioritised.
