Cleaning Challenges Unique to the Isthmus
Dual-lake humidity creates a near-constant damp environment that accelerates biological growth on every exterior surface. High-density housing also means limited air circulation between structures, further trapping moisture against siding and trim.
The Isthmus location between two lakes creates a microclimate with higher humidity than surrounding areas. Moisture from Lake Mendota and Lake Monona keeps building facades damp longer, feeding algae and mildew growth on stone, brick, and painted surfaces year-round. Urban pollutants from traffic compound the issue. We recommend bi-annual cleaning for downtown commercial facades and annual cleaning for residential properties, with gutter service before the winter freeze cycle begins.
Maintenance Tip for Isthmus Residents
Maximize air circulation around your home by trimming vegetation back at least 12 inches from siding. On the Isthmus, even small gaps between plantings and walls dramatically slow mildew regrowth after cleaning.
