green mildew on siding in Tyrone

In Tyrone, this comes up on estate lots and newer houses on larger tracts. Long drives carry clay onto courts that were poured to look bare. A wall behind big shrubs, or a wall that never dries, will be the first to green up again. Trimming is not our job. Naming it is.

Big roofs fill gutters faster than a one-story cottage, and the height is a lift conversation.

Green on vinyl, painted brick, stucco, and the shady side of a fence is mildew and algae feeding on moisture and whatever dust has landed. It is the most straightforward thing we do. Mix, dwell, rinse. The color leaves because the organism dies, not because we sanded the wall.

If you have been pressure washing it every spring, look for wand curves and fuzzed paint. That damage stays after the green is gone. We can clean what is alive. We cannot un-scar the surface. If the paint is failing, a wash will make the failure obvious, which is useful and also something you should expect.

Inside the house, a green wall is not this service. We do not treat interior mold. If you see staining that seems to be coming from behind the siding, that is a leak, and washing the outside will not fix the leak.

The full explanation, without the town attached, is the green film on the north wall article. The town does not change the chemistry. It changes the houses, the shade, and the clay.
