Pressure Washing in Ladson, SC

What Pines, Big Lots and Construction Dust Do to Ladson Homes

Ladson is an unincorporated community that spreads across parts of Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, between Summerville, North Charleston and Goose Creek. Much of it is still pine country. Tall pines shade many lots, line the roads, drop needles into gutters, and coat everything yellow with pollen each spring and early summer. When gutters fill with needles they overflow, and water runs down the face of the siding. That leaves dark vertical streaks and feeds mildew along the fascia and the top few rows of siding on the shady side.

Housing in Ladson is a real mix. Established neighborhoods like Woodside and Woodview have many older single family homes, a lot of them brick or vinyl ranches. Some streets have manufactured homes, and many houses sit on larger lots with long driveways and outbuildings. Newer townhomes and subdivisions keep filling in near Ladson Road and Dorchester Road. Each type needs a slightly different approach. Older vinyl and manufactured home siding can crack, warp or come loose under high pressure, so we soft wash it instead and let the solution do the work.

Growth around Ladson also means dust. New roads, warehouses and subdivisions in the area put fine soil in the air, and trucks on US 78, College Park Road and I-26 add road film. That grime sticks to damp siding, windows and screens and gives mildew something to grow on. Driveways and walks pick up orange rust stains where irrigation wells spray, and black algae streaks show up on shingle roofs under the pines. Each fall the Coastal Carolina Fair at Exchange Park brings weeks of extra traffic and dust through town.

What We Clean in Ladson

House washing

From brick ranches in Woodside to manufactured homes on larger lots and newer townhomes, we soft wash Ladson homes at low pressure. The cleaning solution kills mildew and algae, then we rinse from the top down. Vinyl stays on the wall, seams stay sealed, and plants are watered before and after so the beds come through fine.

Roof cleaning

Pine shade keeps Ladson roofs damp, and the black streaks you see are Gloeocapsa magma algae feeding on the shingles. Pressure washing strips granules, so we never do it. We soft wash the roof, let the treatment work, and rinse. Metal roofs on homes, garages and outbuildings can be cleaned the same gentle way.

Driveways and concrete

Long driveways, walkways and parking pads collect mildew, tire marks and the orange stains that irrigation wells leave behind. We clean concrete with a rotary surface cleaner, so the finish comes out even with no stripes or wand marks. Rust stains get their own treatment. A standard two car driveway is a flat rate, and longer drives are quoted by size.

Gutters and rust stains

Pine needles fill Ladson gutters fast. We clean them out, flush the downspouts, and brighten the outside of the gutters to remove the gray and black streaks that soap and pressure will not touch. If well water has left orange stains on siding, brick, a fence or the driveway, we can treat those on the same visit.
