Why shaded homes in Soddy-Daisy grow algae
Soddy-Daisy sits between wooded ridges and the water. North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Park covers the hills on one side of town, and Soddy Marine Park puts boats on the water on the other. That mix of trees and water makes for good hiking and fishing. It also makes for a lot of algae, mildew and moss on the outside of houses.
Shade keeps siding and roofs damp long after a rain. Green film shows up first on the north side of a house. Then black streaks start to run down the shingles. Concrete under the trees turns dark and slick. These stains are living growth, so they come back fast if you only blast them off. They need to be killed with the right cleaning solution.
Areas we cover in and around Soddy-Daisy
We work all over Soddy-Daisy in Hamilton County. That includes homes and businesses near Northend Ball Park, Veterans Park, Poe’s Tavern Park, Soddy Municipal Park and Soddy Marine Park, plus the wooded roads out toward North Chickamauga Creek Gorge. Our crew comes from Graysville, TN.
We also serve nearby Chattanooga, Signal Mountain, Dayton, East Ridge, Dunlap, McMinnville and Crossville. Soddy-Daisy is a town of about 13,000 people, so a clean house tends to get noticed on the street. If a neighbor wants their home or driveway done too, mention it when you call and we can plan both jobs together.
Services that fit Soddy-Daisy homes
Most of the work we do here comes down to shade, damp and tree debris. These are the services that deal with it best.
- House Washing: green film and mildew gone from vinyl, painted wood and stone. We soft wash with low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills the growth instead of just moving it around.
- Roof Cleaning: black streaks and lichen gone from shingle roofs. We soft wash at low pressure, so shingles are not damaged. A roof never gets high pressure.
- Driveway & Concrete Cleaning: even, bright concrete with no stripes or swirl marks. We pre-treat oil, rust and organic stains, then clean with a rotary surface cleaner for a uniform finish.
- Deck & Patio Cleaning: clean boards with no fuzz or gouges. Composite and soft wood get low pressure, and patios get the same pre-treatment as concrete.
How a Soddy-Daisy job works
Call Harrison at (423) 387-0784 or email h.murphypowerwash@gmail.com. A few photos of the house, roof or driveway help him see the job before he gives you a quote. We work Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, so weekend dates are on the table.
You do not need to be home as long as we can use an outdoor spigot. Before we start, we wet down your plants and cover anything that needs it. When we finish, we rinse the beds again. On the day, close your windows, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside.
Business owners in town can book Commercial Pressure Washing for storefronts, sidewalks and parking areas. After cleaning, Paver & Concrete Sealing helps protect driveways and patios from water and stains.
