What This Service Is

Why Algae Removal Is Done This Way

Algae shows up in two forms around a property. Green film on concrete, fencing and shaded siding, and black streaking on roofs, which is a different organism called Gloeocapsa magma feeding on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles.

Both are treated chemically rather than mechanically. Blasting algae off concrete removes what you can see and leaves what you cannot, which is why a pressure-only clean often greens up again within a single season.

Why It Is Worth Doing

What You Get From Algae Removal

Root-level treatment

Kills the organism instead of stripping its visible layer.

Lasts through seasons

Regrowth measured in years rather than months.

Removes the slip hazard

Algae on wet concrete is one of the most underrated risks around a home.

Works on roofs too

The black streaking uses the same chemistry at lower pressure.

Our Process

Four Steps on Every Job

The sequence never changes. It is what keeps the result consistent from a single driveway to a full commercial site.

01

Look and Listen

We walk the property with you, check what each surface can take, and ask what actually needs fixing.

02

Protect First

Beds, fixtures, furniture and vehicles get covered or pre-rinsed before any solution goes down.

03

Match the Method

Full pressure on concrete and masonry. A low-pressure soft wash on roofs, siding, timber and anything delicate.

04

Walk It Together

We rinse down, clear up, and walk the finished job with you rather than leaving an invoice on the porch.

Signs You Need This

How to Tell It Is Overdue

If any of these sound familiar, it is worth getting a quote. None of them get cheaper by waiting.

Green film on shaded concrete

Usually starts at the edges and spreads inward.

Black streaks running down the roof

Gloeocapsa magma, worst on the north slope.

Slippery patio or steps after rain

Algae film. It is a genuine hazard.

Regrowth within a season of a previous wash

The last clean was pressure without chemistry.

Algae Removal FAQ

Common Questions

Because a pressure-only wash removes the visible layer and leaves the organism. Treating it chemically at the root is what changes the timeline from months to years.

Different organism, same general approach. Roof streaking is Gloeocapsa magma and needs a low-pressure soft wash rather than any kind of pressure.

Improving drainage, trimming back overhanging branches and letting more light onto the surface all slow it down considerably.
