Power Washing in Pompton Plains, NJ

Pompton Plains is the older heart of Pequannock Township, and it shows in the housing. The colonials and center-hall homes along the Newark-Pompton Turnpike and the side streets off Jackson Avenue sit under some of the biggest shade trees in the area, and those trees are a mixed blessing. They keep the house cool in August and they keep the roof damp from October through April.

That is exactly the condition Gloeocapsa magma likes, which is why so many roofs around here carry black streaks running down from the ridge. It is algae, not dirt, and no amount of rinsing removes it. Soft washing does, using low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills the growth at the root without touching the shingle granules.

We do the same for siding, and we handle the paver walkways and patios that have gone mossy in the joints, re-sanding them once they are clean so the moss has nothing to grow back into.
