Fungus Power Washing & Removal
Fungus Removal
If there are tiny dark spots on your siding, your home might be affected by artillery fungus. Artillery fungus is a wood-decaying organism often found in dead trees, rotting wood and dyed landscaping mulch. This fungus’ spores are attracted to sunlight and sporadically release up to 20 feet into the air. When they’re located near your home, these spores will attach to the side of your home and infiltrate the siding. While power washing is unlikely to remove the fungus overnight, it’s crucial to target it as soon as possible and stay up-to-date with regular appointments to avoid long-term damage to your home.
At Hydro Savage Pressure Washing, we’ve worked with over 300,000 homeowners in our 20 years of business, giving our team the knowledge and experience to supply trustworthy advice you can use to maintain a safe and clean home.

How to Remove Artillery Fungus
Also known as shotgun fungus, artillery fungus embeds itself within your home’s siding, trim, roof and other exterior surfaces. Unfortunately, this makes it almost impossible to remove attached fungus from your home using a pressure washer without causing further damage. Some homeowners find success in scrubbing the affected area with a rough brush or steel cloth, although this requires a significant time investment.
Prevention is the best way to maintain a protected and attractive home. Rotating your mulch every few months or laying down fresh mulch once a year will disturb any fungus growth. This easy task increases air circulation in your mulch, creating dry conditions that are not favorable to growth. You should also avoid mulch types that contain dyes. Instead, replace dyed mulch with materials such as:
- Rock or gravel
- Rubber mulch
- Leaves
- Straw
- Cyprus or natural wood mulch
Tips to Reduce Artillery Fungus Growth
As a homeowner, you no doubt take pride in living in a neat and clean home. While it’s difficult to remove artillery fungus once it attaches to your home, there are a few things you can do to keep your home in tip-top shape to decrease the risk of growth. Here are some maintenance tasks you should consider to keep your home looking its best:
- Conduct regular inspections.
- Identify and remedy leaks.
- Clean your gutters.
- Apply an exterior paint.
- Aside from these preventive measures, investing in a routine home washing plan is crucial to maintaining an aesthetically pleasing home.
