Bardstown, KY

What Bardstown does to a deck

Decks and patios take weather, foot traffic and organic growth all year, and they do not all clean the same way. Wood, composite and concrete each get the pressure and technique that surface can handle, so mold, algae and embedded grime come off without furring the boards or etching the slab.

Why Bardstown is different

Bardstown has a cleaning problem almost nowhere else has. It is the Bourbon Capital of the World, with Heaven Hill and Barton Brands aging whiskey in town, and the ethanol vapor coming off those warehouses feeds Baudoinia compniacensis, the black whiskey fungus. It can spread around a mile and a half from an aging warehouse and it coats siding, fences, concrete, outdoor furniture and trees in a black crust. Layer that over Kentucky's second oldest city, where 279 structures across 26 blocks of downtown are on the National Register in Georgian and Federal brick, and you have surfaces that are both filthy and delicate.

What drives it in Bardstown

Whiskey fungus is not ordinary mildew. It feeds on airborne ethanol rather than on the surface it sits on, it grows as a velvety black crust up to a centimetre or two thick, and it comes back as long as the warehouses are aging. It is not the black mold people worry about indoors and it is not a health hazard, but it will not weather off on its own.

How we work in Bardstown

Two things drive the method here. Whiskey fungus needs a cleaning solution rather than brute pressure, because pressure alone drives it into the surface. And the historic brick around the downtown district cannot take high pressure at all, so anything near Federal Hill or the courthouse square is soft washed.

Questions we get in Bardstown

What is the black film on my house near the distillery?

It is almost certainly whiskey fungus, Baudoinia compniacensis. It feeds on the ethanol vapor that comes off bourbon aging warehouses, it can carry around a mile and a half, and it settles on siding, fences, concrete, furniture and trees as a black crust. It is not the black mold people worry about indoors and it is not considered a health hazard, but it does not wash off with rain.

Will it come back after you clean it?

Eventually, yes, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. As long as whiskey is aging nearby the vapor keeps feeding it. Cleaning removes what is there and buys you a long stretch of clean, but properties close to the warehouses are a maintenance wash rather than a one time job.

What areas do you serve?
