When we perform pressure cleaning on various surfaces, including driveways, sidewalks, curbs, street gutters, and many more, we apply an algaecide treatment. This algaecide treatment serves the purpose of neutralizing mold and other contaminants. If oil or rust is present we can now treat it accordingly. Following this treatment, we proceed with pressure cleaning to eliminate all traces of mold, dirt, and any other debris.

What Triggers the Growth of Algae, Mold, and Mildew?

  • Sunlight: Adequate sunlight is a crucial factor, and South Florida certainly provides an abundance of it.
  • Water: The substantial rainfall experienced in Florida during the summer months creates an ideal environment for growth.
  • Dirt: The presence of dirt retains moisture and facilitates the proliferation of algae. Normal airborne dust, coupled with ongoing construction activities in Florida, contribute to this issue.
  • Vegetation: Organic materials from plants can accumulate on your property due to wind and overgrowth.
  • Air Circulation: Areas with insufficient airflow tend to retain moisture, exacerbating the problem.
