Over time, outdoor fences can lose their original charm, becoming stained and overrun with dirt, algae, and mildew. These unsightly elements not only affect the appearance of your property but can also lead to long-term damage. Power washing offers a fast and effective solution, bringing your fence back to life. Here’s an inside look at one of our recent fence cleaning projects, where we restored a homeowner’s fence to its original beauty by removing algae buildup.
Project Description
A homeowner contacted us to clean their fence, which had turned green with algae growth after several years of exposure to moisture. The fence, once a feature of the yard, had become an eyesore, and the algae posed a potential long-term threat to the color integrity. The goal was to restore the original look of the fence while preserving its color for years to come.
Project Challenge
The primary challenge was removing thick layers of algae without damaging the surface. We had to use eco-friendly cleaning agents to ensure the surrounding plants and landscaping were not harmed during the process.
Project Solution
Our team used a specialized low-pressure power washing technique known as “soft washing,” combined with environmentally safe cleaning agents, to gently remove the algae while protecting the surface. This method effectively cleared away the algae, dirt, and other contaminants without damaging the fence. After the cleaning, the fence looked revitalized—restored to its natural color, dramatically improving the overall appearance of the yard.
