Winchester and Clark County deal with two problems that the rest of Central Kentucky does not see as much. Red clay soil stains concrete driveways and sidewalks with stubborn orange marks that regular cold water pressure washing cannot remove. Our hot water equipment and specialized chemical treatments break down the iron oxide and lift it out of the pores of the concrete in a single visit. The second problem is the same one every Central Kentucky city faces. Algae, mold, and mildew on siding and roofs.
The red clay in Clark County is some of the most iron-rich in the region. The soil along Boonesboro Road, Irvine Road, and the rural properties south of Winchester toward the Red River Gorge corridor deposits iron oxide on every hard surface it touches. After a heavy rain, driveways that were clean the day before have orange streaks running from the yard onto the concrete. Homeowners try bleach, commercial rust removers from the hardware store, and raw pressure, and none of it works completely. Our process uses oxalic acid based treatments combined with two hundred degree hot water at the surface to dissolve the iron bond and flush it from the concrete pores. The results are immediate and dramatic.
In the city of Winchester proper, the neighborhoods along Maple Street, Hickman Street, and the residential streets near Clark County High School have mature trees and tightly spaced homes that create the perfect environment for algae on siding. The homes built in the 1960s and 1970s in the Belmont and College Park areas often have a combination of brick and vinyl, and the north-facing vinyl sections are typically the worst. Our house washing service treats the entire home, including the brick sections, the soffits, and the window frames.
The commercial district along Main Street in downtown Winchester has a mix of historic storefronts and modern retail buildings. The older brick buildings benefit from our low pressure soft wash approach, and the concrete sidewalks in the shopping areas get our full hot water surface cleaning treatment. Several Winchester business owners schedule cleanings twice a year, once in the spring before the busy season and once in the fall to remove the summer buildup.
The areas along US 60 East toward the mountain region and the properties near Fort Boonesborough State Park deal with heavier moisture and shade than most of Clark County. Roof cleaning is a critical service in those areas because the combination of tree canopy and river valley humidity promotes heavy moss and algae growth on shingles that can void the manufacturer warranty if left untreated.
