What We Wash After a Storm

Why Storms Leave Stains That Spread
Cape Fear averages a hurricane with winds of 74 mph or more about every six years (NWS). Florence, on September 14, 2018, brought 23.02 inches of rain and a 105 mph gust to Wilmington.
Salt and mud do not just look bad. They hold moisture against surfaces, and with humidity averaging about 74 percent, mildew grows fast. A mud line that sits for weeks turns into a stain that takes more work to lift.

Storm Cleanup Questions Answered
How soon after a hurricane can you pressure wash?
Once power and water are back and the area is safe, usually within days to a couple of weeks. Salt should come off soon to avoid staining.
Can you clean flood mud off my house?
Yes, from the outside. If water got inside, call a water damage and mold specialist first. We take photos for your records.
Does salt spray hurt my siding?
Salt film dulls surfaces and draws moisture, which helps mildew grow. A rinse after big storms helps beach homes.
