Pressure Washing in Trussville, AL
Shade and creek-side humidity grow mildew on Trussville siding, decks, and fences. We wash it off gently and point out the repairs washing reveals.
Why Trussville houses go green, and how to clean them safely
The Cahaba River runs through Trussville, and many subdivision lots back up to creeks and woods. Shade and humidity are good for algae and mildew, which show up as green and black streaks on north-facing vinyl siding, on wood fences, and on decks that rarely see full sun. Concrete driveways and walks near the trees darken the same way.
Most siding should not be blasted. High pressure can force water behind vinyl laps, strip paint, and etch wood. Siding is usually cleaned with low pressure and an appropriate cleaner, while concrete can take more pressure. Decks and fences get cleaned with care for the wood fibers, especially before they are stained or sealed.
Washing also works as an inspection. Clean siding and trim make it easy to see cracked caulk, soft boards near the ground, and loose fence pickets. We note what we find so you can decide whether to fix it now or later.

Pressure Washing in Trussville: common questions
Will pressure washing damage our vinyl siding?
It can if the pressure is too high or the wand is pointed up under the laps. We clean siding with low pressure and an appropriate cleaner, which removes growth without forcing water behind the panels.
How often should a Trussville house be washed?
It depends on shade. Shaded walls near woods or creeks may need it more often than sunny ones. The simplest guide is to wash when growth becomes visible, before it has time to stain.
Can you stain or seal the deck after washing it?
Yes. The wood needs to dry fully first, so staining is usually scheduled as a second visit. We can also replace soft boards or loose stair treads before the stain goes on.
Will washing get the black streaks off our driveway?
Organic growth and most dirt come off. Oil, rust, and some older stains may lighten but not disappear. We tell you before we start what we expect to come out.
