Expert Algae Removal and Surface Restoration
Serving Los Angeles & Surrounding Areas
Why Algae Grows and the Risks
Understanding Growth Patterns and Material Damage
Algae thrives where moisture, shade, and airborne nutrients meet. On exterior surfaces, microscopic spores settle into porous materials like shingles, stucco, wood, and concrete. Green algae discolors siding and walkways, while resilient black streaks on roofs are often cyanobacteria that anchor to granules and feed on organic binders. Left alone, colonies spread rapidly, especially in areas with limited sun and persistent condensation.
Beyond being unsightly, algae can create slick, hazardous surfaces on patios, stairs, and walkways. On roofs, bio-growth retains moisture that accelerates granular loss and shortens shingle life. It can also stain painted surfaces, harbor mildew, and trap heat, undermining reflectivity and raising cooling loads. Early removal prevents surface damage, reduces slip risks, and restores curb appeal.
Low-Pressure Soft Washing, Controlled Rinsing, and Protection
NewBrite LLC pairs soft-wash chemistry with material-appropriate rinsing to clear algae at its root. For roofs and delicate siding, we use low-pressure applications that follow manufacturer guidance to avoid dislodging granules or forcing water behind cladding. Biodegradable surfactants lift organic buildup, while targeted algaecides break down resilient films. On concrete and pavers, we combine pretreatments with calibrated rinsing to remove growth from pores and joints without etching.
Protection of your property is central to our process. We pre-wet sensitive plants, use coverings where needed, and neutralize overspray on landscaping. Runoff is managed to protect soil and hardscape, and our technicians adjust dwell times, dilution, and nozzles to the specific surface. The result is a uniform, even clean that clears existing growth and slows its return.
Thorough Inspection, Transparent Process, Lasting Results
We begin with a detailed inspection to identify surface materials, coating conditions, drainage patterns, and algae species. You’ll receive a clear plan outlining the cleaning method, expected outcomes, and any preparation requests (like moving vehicles or patio furniture). When appropriate, we conduct a small test area to confirm results and fine-tune chemistry before full application.
During service, our team applies solutions methodically from the bottom up where needed to prevent streaks, then performs a controlled rinse. We protect fixtures, monitor runoff, and maintain safe work zones around entries and walkways. After cleaning, we perform a quality check with you, review maintenance tips, and document results with photos upon request.
To help prevent regrowth, we can apply post-treatments on porous surfaces and suggest practical steps such as trimming overhanging limbs for better airflow, redirecting irrigation overspray, sealing concrete or pavers, and installing copper or zinc strips on certain roof types. Many clients choose seasonal maintenance for consistently clean, slip-resistant surfaces.
