The best time to think about painting and weatherizing your commercial property is before problems show up. This is the best way to protect your property from damage. Once you notice peeling or chipping paint, or cracks in caulking, your property is already exposed to the elements.
In Arizona, fall and winter are great times to freshen up the paint job or weatherize your commercial property. Temperatures are a little cooler, but the monsoon season is over. This means less rain and fewer dust storms, which can interfere with exterior painting and weatherizing. For interior painting, the cooler temperatures make it much more comfortable to open windows or vent paint fumes without bringing in the stifling summer heat.
Painting can help make your commercial property look beautiful, but it can also help protect your investment. Protective paints and coatings act as a barrier to keep out moisture and protect your facility from the sun, wind, and dust.
Hopefully, you are thinking about weatherizing and painting your property before you start to see signs of distress. If you are already seeing some of the early warning signs of damage, however, you need to contact Ghaster Painting & Coatings, commercial painting services in Phoenix, AZ, to get expert help before problems get worse.
Here are some of the early warning signs that indicate you should not wait.
Early Warning Signs of Damage
Often, problems with your building’s exterior can show up first as problems inside. If you see any of these conditions, you need commercial painting services in Phoenix, AZ, to prevent further damage.
Water Stains and Bubbles or Blisters on Walls
When water seeps into your exterior wall and saturates cement blocks, bricks, and boards, you may notice discoloration on your interior walls. Water stains may show up along with peeling paint or warping.
Excess heat coming through your walls may also show up as bubbles or blisters in your wall’s coating.
Damp Areas
When moisture sits unattended, it creates damp, moist environments that can cause structural damage. Damp and wet areas are breeding grounds for bacteria, dust mites, mold, and mildew. Even if you cannot see mold or mildew, damp areas or spots on the walls are early warning signs that you have problems.
Left unchecked, mold and mildew can lead to serious problems. There have been cases where mold is so prevalent that it caused major structural building problems that led to expensive repairs. There are also health problems that mold can cause, from respiratory problems to headaches. Toxic mold produces mycotoxins, which have been linked to more serious health issues.
