Algae & Mould Removal Central Coast

Protect Your Central Coast Home's Exterior with Professional Algae & Mould Removal

The Central Coast’s humid climate creates the perfect conditions for algae and mould growth, leaving unsightly stains on roofs, walls, driveways, and patios. If left untreated, these contaminants not only ruin your property's appearance but can also cause long-term damage and impact air quality. At Glason’s, we use professional pressure cleaning and gentle house soft washing techniques to safely and effectively remove algae and mould, restoring your Central Coast home’s exterior without risk of damage. Whether it’s a stubborn driveway stain or delicate painted surfaces, our tailored cleaning methods ensure your property stays clean, healthy, and well-maintained.

How Mould Can Harm Both Your Property and Your Health

Everybody has, at one time or another, battled against unsightly algae or mould around the house and backyard. Mould and fungus commonly appear on walls, ceilings, driveways, or even around swimming pools. The damp conditions prevalent in many Central Coast areas provide the perfect breeding ground for these invaders, leading to damage to paint, wallpaper, and, over time, the very structure of your home or building.

Unfortunately, the risks of mould go beyond structural damage—it can also pose serious health hazards. Mould releases microscopic spores into the air that, when inhaled, can lead to nasal congestion, respiratory infections, and even trigger or worsen asthma symptoms. According to Better Health Victoria, prolonged exposure to mould can be particularly harmful to individuals with allergies or weakened immune systems, potentially resulting in severe respiratory conditions. Left untreated, these seemingly small spores can have a big impact, compromising both your health and quality of life.

Pressure Cleaning for Mould and Algae

Pressure cleaning is an effective solution for tackling mould and algae on hard, durable surfaces such as driveways, concrete paths, brick walls, and patios. Using high-pressure water, this technique blasts away stubborn growth, grime, and dirt without the need for harsh chemicals. By reaching deep into porous materials, pressure cleaning removes mould and algae at the root, preventing regrowth and ensuring a long-lasting clean. It’s especially effective for heavily soiled outdoor areas, restoring the appearance and functionality of these surfaces. However, it’s important to ensure the right pressure settings are used to avoid damage to more delicate materials like sandstone or older bricks.

House Soft Washing for Mould and Algae

For more delicate or painted surfaces, house soft washing is the preferred technique for safely removing mould and algae. Soft washing involves applying a specialised cleaning solution to gently break down organic growth, dirt, and stains on surfaces like walls, roofs, and timber cladding. This low-pressure method is ideal for materials that could be damaged by high-pressure cleaning, such as render, weatherboards, or tiled roofs. Not only does soft washing effectively clean these areas, but the cleaning solution also sanitises the surface, eliminating mould spores and helping to inhibit regrowth. It’s a gentle yet thorough option for maintaining the beauty and integrity of your home’s exterior.

Different types of Mold we Treat

Green Algae

A widespread variety, green algae will usually rear its ugly head immediately following a hazy condition in the water due to a lack of proper filtration and sanitation. Green algae are caused by a type of bacteria called cyanobacteria, which is made up of single-celled species and other species with cells made up of colonies and filaments. These cyanobacteria thrive in warm, nutrient-rich water — and harmful algal blooms can form if there's an excess of nutrients.

Black Algae

Perhaps the most aggravating strain of algae. Black algae will appear as dark black or blue/green spots, usually the size of a pencil eraser tip. Their roots extend into the plaster or tile grout; unless the roots are destroyed completely, a new head will grow back in the same place. The heads also contain protective layers to keep cell destroying chemicals from entering the organism. 

The Benefits of Algae & Mould Removal on the Central Coast

Regular algae and mould removal offers several benefits, especially in the Central Coast's moisture-rich climate:

  • Prevents Damage: Algae and mould can break down materials over time, leading to costly repairs.
  • Improves Curb Appeal: Clean, mould-free surfaces look more appealing and boost your property's value.
  • Enhances Safety: Mould and algae can make surfaces slippery, posing a risk for slips and falls.
  • Promotes a Healthier Environment: Removing mould and algae reduces allergens and promotes a healthier living space, especially important for those with respiratory sensitivities.
