Algae Removal

What This Service Involves

The green algae film that coats so many Northwest homes thrives on moisture and shade, clinging to siding, roofs, and hardscapes alike. We treat it with a soft-wash solution that kills the algae and releases its grip on the surface without high-pressure damage. Killing the organism means the green does not simply bounce back within weeks like it does after a plain rinse. The finished surface looks clean and stays that way far longer through our damp seasons.

Benefits

Removes the green algae film at the biological source; Prevents the rapid regreening a plain rinse leaves behind; Protects roofing and siding from pressure damage; Restores clean color to shaded surfaces; Applies across roofs, walls, decks, and concrete

Our Process

1) Evaluate the algae coverage and the surface types; 2) Apply a soft-wash algaecide solution; 3) Let it dwell to kill and loosen the growth; 4) Rinse thoroughly and check for even results
