Thermal bridging is a common phenomenon that can affect the appearance and efficiency of your home. If you've noticed vertical lines on your house siding, you may be experiencing thermal bridging. Here's what you need to know:
Thermal bridging occurs when heat escapes unevenly from your home. Here's how it works:
In poorly insulated homes, heat moves through the studs in the walls rather than evenly dispersing across the insulated areas.
This uneven heat escape can discolor your siding, creating vertical lines that mirror the placement of the wall studs.
Thermal bridging has nothing to do with the materials used for your siding or any external factors like pressure washing. It is purely a result of how well (or poorly) your exterior walls are insulated.
Unfortunately, once these marks appear, they are typically permanent, as they are caused by the structural design and insulation rather than dirt or grime.
The key to preventing thermal bridging is ensuring your home is properly insulated. By addressing insulation during the building or remodeling phase, you can avoid heat escaping unevenly and affecting the siding.
Homeowners often don't notice this until the house is finished and the thermal effects have taken hold.
If you're building or renovating, consult insulation experts to prevent thermal bridging before it starts.

Clay stains are among the most stubborn ones to remove and require specialized treatments beyond standard cleaning services. Here's why:
Clay Adheres Deeply: It seeps into porous materials and is difficult to thoroughly remove.
Separate Service: Clay stain removal is not included in our standard cleaning services because it requires time and effort.
We're happy to discuss options for clay stain removal if needed.
Unfortunately, thermal bridging cannot be fixed by exterior cleaning. It results from uneven insulation within your home's walls.
Preventive Action: Proper insulation during construction or remodeling is the only way to address this issue.
Consult Experts: If you're concerned about thermal bridging, consult with a building or insulation specialist for solutions.
