Top Benefits of Pressure Washing a House

1.  Removes Mold, Mildew & Algae

Gulf Coast humidity makes homes a magnet for organic growth.  Soft washing safely removes:

• Green algae
• Black mold
• Mildew stains
• Fungus on siding

This protects the home's siding and keeps your family's air healthier.

 

2.  Protects Your Home's Exterior 

Dirt and algae trap moisture, which can:

• Break down siding

• Cause premature rot

• Damage paint and caulking

Regular cleaning extends the life of vinyl, brick, stucco, and Hardie board

3.  Improves Curb Appeal Instantly

A clean home looks newer and brighter.  This is especially helpful before

• Selling your home

• Hosting events

• HOA Inspections

• Rentals or Airbnb guests

In addition, many HOA's require a home to meet certain standards in their community.  This is why its important to properly maintain your home on a regular basis.

4.  Increase Property Value

• A clean exterior often increases perceived home value. 

• Realtors estimate $5,000-$15,000 boost in appeal simply from a clean exterior. (1)

 

5.  Prevents Costly Repair

• Removing algae, dirt, mud wasp nest, and staining helps prevent:

• Siding damage

• Concrete deterioration

• Roof staining (which reduces shingle life)

A yearly soft wash is far cheaper than major exterior repairs.

6.  Safe for All Siding Types (When Soft washed)

Professional soft washing avoids high pressure ad prevents:

• Etching

• Oxidation streaks

• Water intrusion

• Broken siding panels

 

7.  Restores Painted Surfaces

• Pressure washing removes:

• Old oxidation

• Chalky residue

• Spider webs/insect debris

• Can help with termite control.  

Removing the moisture, debris, and organic materials that attract them to your home. By cleaning siding, decks, and foundations, you eliminate potential nesting sites, food sources, and hiding spots, making your property less inviting to termites. It's most effective as a preventative measure and should be used in combination with other pest control methods for complete protection. 

 

8.  Removes Allergens

• House exteriors collect airborne allergens like:

• Pollen

• Mold spores

• Dust

A clean home reduces wats tracked inside.

 

9.  Cleaner Gutters, Soffits, and Trim

Soft washing brightens:

• Gutters

• Fascia Boards

• Soffits

• Downspouts

These areas stain easily in humid climates

 

10.  Protects Against Salt Air Damage (Coastal Benefit)

In coastal areas, like Alabama, salt crystals stick to siding and eat into the paint and metal.  Soft washing removes the salt layer, helping prevent corrosions.
