Growth comes back faster in the trees
Most of the Bay is built into hardwood. Shade keeps walls damp long after the rain stops, and mildew treats a shaded north wall as somewhere to live rather than somewhere to pass through.
Soft washing, siding and roof cleaning, and window work for homes above Greers Ferry Lake.
What Fairfield Bay does to a house, and what it means for how it gets cleaned.
Most of the Bay is built into hardwood. Shade keeps walls damp long after the rain stops, and mildew treats a shaded north wall as somewhere to live rather than somewhere to pass through.
Stucco and dryvit are common here, and their texture traps growth down in it where rinsing cannot reach. That is a soft wash job with dwell time, not a pressure job - high pressure blows the texture out and drives water into the wall.
Plenty of homes here were built without gutters, so roof runoff comes straight down the wall in the same places every storm. It leaves vertical staining that returns on schedule until either the wall gets washed annually or gutters go up.
A stucco house here, washed inch by inch where the growth had set in.
No gutters on the house, so roof runoff had been staining the walls for years. Washed at low pressure, with the heaviest areas worked by hand.
Every service Abright offers, available in Fairfield Bay and across north central Arkansas.
Yes, and stucco is the reason to insist on soft washing. High pressure blows out the texture and can force water into the wall. Cleaning solution and dwell time do the work instead.
It changes how fast the staining returns, not whether it can be cleaned. Expect an annual wash, or add gutters and fix the cause rather than the symptom.
Yes. Fairfield Bay sits in the Cleburne County service area, along with Greers Ferry, Heber Springs, Concord and Drasco.
