Combating Algae and Mold Growth on Exteriors with Pressure Washing

June 22, 2020 By Griffs Services

Just out of the blue you start to notice a strange green or graying growth cropping up on your exterior siding. So what is this ever-expanding eyesore exactly? In most cases, this growth is algae or mold or a combination of both. While it’s not often structurally harmful, airborne algae can cause damage to the surface over time. Here’s what you need to know about where these growths come from and when and how to get rid of it.

Where Does Algae on Siding Come From?

Because the northern side of homes tends to get less sunlight, this is where most owners discover growths. Where it comes from typically depends on the environment you live in. Homeowners near the coast, large lakes, agricultural zone, or major sewage lines might experience algae more often than those who don’t. These factors make it easy for airborne or water-introduced mold and algae to accumulate and grow.

Is it Essential to Remove Algae?

There are two choices here: remove the buildup via power washing or leave it alone. Again, algae won’t cause damage to your structure, but it will embed itself deeply and stain the surface over time—often permanently. So, unless you’re willing to deal with the loss of value in your major property investment and a reduction in curb appeal, consider professional residential pressure washing services or commercial power washing services.

The Best Approach to Eradicating Siding Algae Growth

Removing most debris include mold are algae are fairly simple, and a professional pressure washing company is the best method for most home and business owners. Be sure to find an experienced provider that offers a soft wash method, as it’s the safest and most effective for most siding types. These experts will apply special cleanser to eradicate growth and remove other residue from your siding with ease.
