When house washing Granger and other cities in northern Indiana, dealing with green mold can be a problem. It isn't as common as it is in southern States, but it is still a problem. Houses up north here like in Granger, Valparaiso, Mishawaka, and Warsaw only need cleaned every couple of years, while homes in the south need cleaned once or maybe even twice a year.
The most common mistake made by house washing contractors is that they use the wrong methods and chemicals. Some may not use chemicals at all only depending on high pressure and/or hot water to do the work. This is not only ineffective, but it risks damage to vinyl siding and other types of surfaces.
Hot water can warp vinyl siding and too much water pressure will force water behind the siding causing water damage. Another common mistake is hitting the vinyl at the wrong angle. House washing at a harsh upward angle will force water under the bottom lip of the siding.
The best most effective and proper way to clean a house is to use low pressure and to rely on the house washing cleaners to do the work. Not only will this remove mold and mildew but it kills it at the same time so it does not grow back anytime soon. Ripping mold off with hot water or high pressure will not kill the mold which enables it to grow right back. Finding a house washing Indiana company that uses low pressure and the proper cleaners will ensure you are getting a premium service.
