Red Algae Removal

Professional Red Algae & Organic Growth Removal

Have you noticed red, pink or dark staining appearing on the outside of your house?

The damp Irish climate provides ideal conditions for algae, moss, lichen and other organic growth to build up on exterior surfaces. Over time, this can leave walls, roofs, paths, patios and other areas around your property looking dirty and neglected.

M.F. Power Washing provides professional red algae removal and exterior cleaning in Athlone and surrounding areas, helping to remove unwanted organic growth and restore the appearance of your property.

What Is the Red Staining on My House?

The red or pink staining that appears on many Irish homes is often referred to as red algae. Organic growth can develop on areas that remain damp or receive limited sunlight, particularly on the north-facing sides of buildings.

It can appear as:

  • Red or pink staining on walls
  • Dark patches on roofs
  • Green algae and moss
  • Lichen growth
  • Slippery patios and paths
  • Discolouration around walls, paving and other exterior surfaces

The appearance can become more noticeable over time, particularly after periods of wet weather.
