Fence Cleaning Tower Lakes, IL

Fence cleaning for Tower Lakes homes

Fence cleaning in Tower Lakes starts with knowing the housing: a small private-lake village of older and newer homes. In practice that means fences and garden structures.

With Tower Lake close by, decks and fences here hold moisture longer in the mornings. We schedule the wash early in the week so there is time to dry before stain goes on.

We clean fences with a percarbonate wood cleaner and a low-pressure rinse, the same way we clean decks. A pressure washer wand at 3,000 PSI held close to a fence board will leave permanent stripe marks and splinter the surface. We have been called to fix a lot of those.

How the job goes in Tower Lakes

1. Pre-wet and protectPlants along the fence line are soaked so the cleaner does not affect them. Siding and windows in range are rinsed.
2. Apply cleanerSodium percarbonate solution goes on by pump sprayer, dwells 10 to 15 minutes and lifts algae, mildew and gray oxidation.
3. Scrub problem spotsThe bottom foot of the fence and shaded sections get a stiff brush where growth is thick.
4. Low-pressure rinseWide fan tip, well off the boards, working top to bottom so dirty water does not re-streak clean areas.
