Coastal homes come with many perks - the ocean's infinite horizon, the waves' melodic whispers, or the fact that no one can hear your submerged, frustrated screams in the ocean as you've just received a daunting bill for hefty repairs, all because you didn't maintain your coastal property as diligently as you should have. Ahh yes... Living near the ocean has many perks, but it also comes with some unique challenges. In this article, we'll explore the specific maintenance needs of coastal homes to avoid costly bills in the future.
The Unique Challenges of Coastal Living
Protecting Your Home from Rust and Corrosion
You've probably heard that humid air causes iron to rust and rust creates structural damage to your property - what can be worse than rust, right?
It will be ironic if you start hyperventilating and sweating about it but the combination of saltwater and oxygen is even worse for iron - avoid corrosion at all costs.
With the help of Brazcon Grounds Maintenance services, risks of home corrosion can be reduced.

Bird proofing vs Birds pooping
Increased bird density in coastal regions is another challenge. It's bad alone to see your freshly washed car getting marked the next day but did you know that bird and bat droppings are also acidic?
Over time, the accumulation of droppings can lead to discoloration, corrosion, and you won't believe this - even house fires. Yes, bird excrement can be considered a fire hazard and some unfortunate homeowners found out about it the hard way - news article link for the curious.
The mentioned article is placed in the 'crime' section, but it's useful to know that birds won't be charged for arson. Even if they are above the law, we're always ready send our Geelong bird proofing experts. Additionally, our gutter cleaning service ensures you will never have to worry about telling a single soul that you lost your property because a seagull pooped on it.

Roof Mould Treatments: A Must for Coastal Homes
For Brazcon Grounds Maintenance, providing Geelong roof mould treatment service is nothing new. Caused by moderate rainfall and frequent storms, roof mould can lead to structural damage, compromised roofing materials, and unsightly stains, affecting a property's integrity and value.
Mould growth can also impact indoor air quality and occupants' health, while reducing roof reflectivity and increasing energy costs. Regular maintenance and mould treatments are essential to prevent these issues and protect your property.
Why Solar Panel Cleaning Service Matters
Solar panel cleaning is also in demand in coastal regions to maintain efficiency in energy production. Cleaner panels allow better exposure from the sun and in return you get more energy!
