Preventing Fall Injuries From Unclean Surfaces
Slipping and falling onto a hard surface like concrete can cause serious injuries, often as a result of a slippery surface. Maintaining cleanliness with pressure washing is the optimal method to prevent your home surfaces from becoming slippery.
Injuries From Hard Falls
The occurrence of occasional slips or trips does not negate the genuine risk of a significant fall. Potential consequences of a forward fall on the head include severe abrasions, fractured teeth or nostrils, and shattered bones. Moreover, falling incorrectly on a single hip may result in dislocation and enduring discomfort that may last for a lifetime, depending on the extent of the harm.
Such injuries are especially regrettable when they might have been prevented, and nothing is more avoidable than an unsanitary walking space. Implement precautionary precautions to guarantee the safety of yourself and others on your premises, guarding against potential occurrences of this kind. To maintain the safety of your property, it is advisable to periodically use pressure washing, such as with patio cleaning or pool deck cleaning.
When Growths Accumulate
Growths may be very slippery, especially in areas where they might spread quickly. The probability of a slip-and-fall incident rises as these formations envelop formerly stable surfaces, such as driveways or patios. In addition to increasing the slipperiness of these surfaces, the formations that develop on them undermine the structural integrity of the surface. The surface becomes more fragile, leading to the formation of holes and cracks.
Dirty Surfaces Become Slick
Surfaces that get frequent foot traffic tend to accumulate a significant amount of dirt. The accumulation of dirt is a result of the interaction between the environment and the regular foot traffic in that area. Accumulation of dirt may result in the formation of stagnant water on the item's surface. Water easily flows off a clean walkway, but when dirt becomes stuck, it creates an ideal habitat for further dirt and grime to accumulate, eventually leading to the formation of moss and algae.
