Heavy Algae and Rust Gone After Full House Soft Wash

When a home has heavy algae on the siding and rust staining across the entire block foundation, it's not just an eyesore - it's the kind of buildup that gets worse over time if you let it sit. That's exactly what we were dealing with here. The vinyl siding had a thick green film running across it, and the lower block foundation was covered in deep rust-orange staining that had built up over years of exposure.

This is where soft washing does what pressure washing can't. We're not blasting surfaces with high pressure and hoping for the best. Soft washing uses a low-pressure application with the right cleaning solution to actually break down the organic growth at the source - algae, mildew, grime, all of it. It's safe on siding, safe on block, and it produces a clean that actually lasts instead of just pushing the dirt around.

The difference on the foundation alone was significant. What was covered in heavy rust staining and discoloration came back to a clean, bright block surface. The vinyl siding went from a dull, green-tinted mess to looking like it actually belongs on the house again. The soffit and gutters got the same treatment - the full exterior, top to bottom.

A good house wash does more than make things look nice. It protects your siding and foundation from the long-term damage that biological growth can cause. Algae and mildew hold moisture against your surfaces, and over time that leads to problems that cost a lot more than a cleaning to fix. Staying on top of it is just good home maintenance.

If your home's exterior is looking rough - whether it's green siding, stained brick, or just years of general buildup - we can get it cleaned up properly. Our house soft wash service handles all of it without damaging your surfaces in the process.
