Mud staining on exterior walls is an extremely common problem in Queensland, particularly after storm events where heavy rain splashes garden soil and clay against walls, and on properties near construction sites. On render and light-coloured weatherboard, mud staining from repeated storm events can accumulate significantly over time. Professional house washing removes mud staining from all exterior cladding types including render, brick, weatherboard, colorbond and fibre cement as part of our standard service.
Queensland's subtropical storm season — October through March — is the primary driver of mud staining on exterior walls. Intense rainfall hitting garden beds and paths beside the house creates significant splash-back that deposits soil and clay on lower wall sections. After repeated storm events over a season, this accumulated mud staining becomes significant — particularly on render and light-coloured cladding.
The most affected areas are typically the lower 300mm to 600mm of exterior walls — the zone that receives the most storm splash-back. Garden bed proximity to walls and the presence of bare soil directly beside the house significantly increases mud staining in this zone.
New builds and renovation projects in neighbouring properties can result in significant mud and clay staining on adjacent houses from construction traffic and earthmoving activities. This staining is typically addressable with appropriate soft washing.
Soft washing with surfactant solution at appropriate pressure for the cladding type. On render — low pressure essential. On brick — slightly higher pressure appropriate. On weatherboard — low pressure to avoid join splitting.
Yes — mud staining from storm splash-back, garden activity and construction is removed as part of our standard house washing service.
Mulching garden beds to prevent bare soil splash-back and moving garden beds away from the house base significantly reduces storm-related mud staining.
Yes — construction-related mud and clay staining from neighbouring sites is addressable with professional house washing.
