Is That Wood Damage or Just Staining? When to Call a Different Professional
Surface algae and mildew clean up. Structural wood damage needs a different kind of expert entirely.
What Cleaning Can Address
Surface-level algae, mold, and mildew discoloration on wood siding, fences, and decks responds to proper soft washing and generally doesn’t indicate any underlying structural issue.
Signs That Need a Different Professional
Soft, crumbling wood, visible tunneling, or a hollow sound when tapped are signs of potential termite or wood rot damage that cleaning won’t address and that a pest control or structural professional should evaluate directly.
Why We’ll Tell You Honestly
If we notice signs of wood damage beyond surface staining during a job, we’ll flag it rather than clean over it and leave you assuming everything’s fine.
