Summer is packed with backyard fun, wet towels, muddy paws, and the occasional spilled drink. But all that activity can quietly take a toll on your floors and walls. Here is how to protect your space this season and what we can do to help along the way.
1: Rinse Off Before Coming Inside
All that splashing in the pool? It tends to end with water and chlorine being tracked through the house. That moisture mixes with dirt and settles into your carpet fibers. A quick rinse and towel-dry outside can go a long way. Still, even with the best habits, summer traffic can add up. If your carpet starts looking worn down or feeling sticky underfoot, a deep clean will help restore the texture and increase its longevity!
2: Don’t Forget About Tile and Grout
Kitchens, entryways, and bathrooms often get extra use in the summer, and dirt and moisture love to settle into grout lines. A soft mop might do the job day-to-day, but for long-term care, tile and grout need a more thorough cleaning. We use tools that break down buildup without damaging surfaces, so your floors keep their shine all summer long.
3: Catch Water Leaks Early
Sudden summer downpours, sprinkler mishaps, or AC overflows can lead to water where it does not belong. If left too long, water can creep into drywall, flooring, and even behind baseboards. Keep an eye out for damp spots or musty smells. If something seems off, we can step in with drying equipment and handle any necessary repairs to keep your home dry and damage-free.
4: Keep an Eye on Mold-Prone Areas
Warm, damp spaces like bathrooms, basements, and under sinks are prime real estate for mold. If you spot discoloration or notice a mildew smell that will not go away, it might be time to take a closer look. We identify and treat mold at the source, and can also help repair any affected drywall so the problem does not come back.
5: Take Fire Safety Seriously
Grilling, fireworks, and summer heat all raise the risk of fire damage. If your home experiences smoke, soot, or fire exposure—even in a small area—it can leave behind more residue than you think. We help clean up the mess and get your home back to feeling normal again, including repairing walls or ceilings that took the hit.
Laying down mats at entryways, keeping up with quick cleanups, and checking on lesser-used spaces can make a big difference during the busy summer months. And when you need an extra hand, we are here for carpet, tile, water damage, and more, so your home can keep up with your summer plans.
