Protect Your Siding in Middle Tennessee: Stop Mold and Algae

Is humidity destroying your home's exterior? In Middle Tennessee, the climate can be tough on houses. Between the hot, muggy summers and the wet winters, moisture tends to cling to the siding, creating the ideal environment for unwanted growths.

If you've noticed dark stains, greenish patches, or a dull gray cast covering your otherwise beautiful home, you are likely dealing with mold, mildew, or algae. Not only do these organisms ruin your home's curb appeal, but they can also cause serious long-term damage if left untreated.

How Humidity Feeds Mold and Algae

Mold and algae thrive in environments that provide two key elements: moisture and a food source. Our Middle Tennessee humidity provides constant moisture, while the dust, pollen, and even the materials of your siding itself provide the nutrients.

• Green Algae: Commonly found on the shady, north-facing sides of your house. It spreads quickly when humidity levels are high.
• Black Mold: Often appears as dark streaks or spots. It can eat away at the protective layers of your exterior surfaces and pose health risks.
• Mildew: A surface fungus that thrives in damp, warm conditions, making your home look prematurely aged and dirty.

The Danger of Standard Pressure Washing

When homeowners spot algae or mold, their first instinct is often to blast it away with a high-pressure washer. However, this is one of the worst things you can do to your siding.

High-pressure water can force its way under vinyl siding, soaking the wood underneath and leading to internal rot and hidden mold problems. It can also strip paint, damage window seals, and leave permanent scarring on delicate materials. Furthermore, pressure washing often just blasts the visible surface of the mold away, leaving the root spores behind to grow back even faster.
