The soffit is typically found beneath the roofline, where the roof extends past the exterior walls of the house. It's important to clean the soffit to remove dirt, debris, mold, mildew, and other build-up that can accumulate over time, especially around the gutters and roofline area. Regular soffit cleaning helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your home and prevents issues like clogged gutters, pests, or damage from mold and mildew.
