South Carolina's subtropical climate is prized for its relatively temperate winters but Columbia gets hot too! With all that heat it's important to stay on top of home maintenance so you can avoid any pricey repairs to your property.
- Columbia heat is ideal for algae, mildew, and other growth that eats away at your home's exterior
- Organic exterior growth can damage shingles, siding, and paint if not removed periodically
- Pressure washing is the best way to remove organic growth efficiently and rapidly
- Tell-tale signs of plant growth on exterior surfaces include greenish-brown siding and black streaks on your roof
Services Tailored To Your Home's Specific Needs
Our experts are prepared to remove dirt, discoloration, algae, grime on siding, and more! Pressure washing is the long-lasting way to clean your home because it removes plant growth as well as the food sources on which growth feeds. These food sources are often invisible to the naked eye and therefore tough to remove through conventional methods.
Pressure washing is the preferred exterior cleaning method because it completely clears buildup and leaves behind fresh shiny exteriors that glow. Call or complete an online request form to schedule a Columbia-area roof cleaning and house washing today.
- We recommend homeowners get professional pressure washing done once per year
- Late spring after the pollen has settled is a popular choice for your annual cleaning
- Tough buildup and small micro-organisms are no match for our process which rips invisible plant life away while leaving surfaces intact
Common Complaints: Shingle Black Streaks
Those black streaks on your roof are not actually dirt, they're algae colonies, specifically gloeocapsa magma. This type of algae loves roofs and is found in most parts of the country including South Carolina. It readily adapts to different climates and is particularly fond of roofing materials like asphalt shingles.
You might expect algae to have a green hue, and usually, you'd be right. However, gloeocapsa magma is a strange case. This algae adapts to your roof's temperature extremes by growing a thin black coating that protects cells from harsh sunlight and UV rays.
Algae growth is extremely common and a top reason to choose pressure washing from our professionals. We offer superior rooftop service that restores your roof's original color while protecting it against rot and wear. Roof cleaning blasts algae away and is just a phone call away in the Columbia area!
