Are algae problems making your property look like it belongs at the bottom of an old fish tank next to the dilapidated castle and a fake plant? Is your render so badly covered in greens, reds, and blacks that you can't even remember what colour it was initially?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OK. So maybe things aren't that bad yet<\/em>, but they could certainly get there if you don't remove algae from your rendered walls as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But how do you do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, there are different methods for the different algae growth out there, so you'll need a little background on each type, the most effective method, and who to turn to in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Helpful hint:<\/strong> We're talking to you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you've got algae problems, we've got solutions - so let's dive into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your wall render is susceptible to all manner of algae growth because it's an external surface. And any external surface is at risk of other types of biological growth besides algae like moss, mould, lichen, and fungi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These surfaces will, due to moisture, pollution, and your environment, get covered over time. If left untreated, your walls will look unsightly, remain damp, and may cause further problems down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you just have a surface coating of algae right now, then it's best to get the cleaning process started to prevent problems and stop other homeowners from eyeing your wall render suspiciously every time they pass by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But before we talk about treatment options and removal, you have to understand more about your specific type of organic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the algae problem you're facing is green, that's quite common. In fact, green algae is the most commonly reported algae type on render and property because it can survive in a range of environments and can multiply pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But don't worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it's green, it's not so mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Corny? Yes. True? Also yes.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Green won't stain as easily as other algae types, and can often be cleaned with just a gentle wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDifferent Types Of Algae Growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
