Softwashing A Brick Home In Pomaria, SC
August 27, 2026
Lakeside Softwash completed a softwashing service for a beautiful brick home in Pomaria, SC. The project focused on removing mold, dirt, and algae buildup while protecting the integrity of the brick and mortar. Homeowners wanted a thorough cleaning that would not risk damage from high-pressure washing, so softwashing was the right choice.
We cleaned the house from the gutters down to the ground, covering soffits, fascia, gutters, downspouts, windows, doors, the ceiling over the entry, and garage doors. Each area received attention to remove biological growth and surface grime, restoring the look of the brick and exterior features without abrasive techniques.
Softwashing is different from power washing, and we used it for an important reason. Power washing can force water into brick and mortar, which may cause long-term damage. Instead, we sprayed a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills and loosens mold and algae. The solution works without hard pressure, and we followed that by rinsing with the pressure of a garden hose to remove residue and leave the surfaces clean.
The method we used not only removes existing growth, it also reduces the chance of quick regrowth. Because the treatment targets the organisms that cause staining and decay, the results typically last longer over time compared with high-pressure rinses alone. This makes softwashing a practical choice for brick homes where preservation of materials matters.
Throughout the job, attention to detail was important. We treated roofline areas and gutters first, then moved down the exterior to ensure runoff did not recontaminate cleaned sections. Windows and doors were cleaned carefully to remove film and spots, and garage doors were included so the whole visible exterior matched the refreshed brickwork.
Choosing a professional company like Lakeside Softwash helps ensure the work is done correctly and safely. Our approach minimizes the risk of damage to brick and mortar while delivering a comprehensive cleaning that homeowners can see. For this Pomaria project, the result was a cleaner, more attractive exterior, achieved without harsh pressure.
