Stop the Slips: Florida's Algae Problem and Your HOA's Risk Management.

For Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and community managers, maintaining safe, beautiful common areas is a top priority. While landscaping gets regular attention, one crucial area often gets overlooked until it's too late: your sidewalks and concrete walkways.

In Florida, constant moisture, shade, and humidity create a perfect breeding ground for green algae, black mold, and moss. This isn't just an aesthetic issue; it's a rapidly developing trip and slip hazard—and a major liability risk for your community.


The Hidden Danger of Dirty Sidewalks

When concrete turns green, it’s covered in biological growth that acts like a slippery film, especially after rain or irrigation. This subtle slickness is the primary culprit in slip-and-fall accidents, leading to costly insurance claims, potential lawsuits, and increased premiums for the HOA.


Power Washing And More recognizes that managing liability is just as important as managing curb appeal. Our commercial service focuses on mitigating these risks by:

  • Eliminating Bio-Growth: We don't just rinse the surface; we use professional-grade hot-water pressure cleaning combined with specialized biodegradable solutions. This process kills the roots of algae and moss, removing the biological film that makes surfaces hazardous.

  • Restoring Traction: Deep cleaning removes embedded grime, restoring the concrete's natural texture and traction, dramatically reducing the risk of accidents.

  • Preventative Maintenance: Routine, scheduled cleaning prevents the buildup from ever reaching a critical hazard level, ensuring continuous safety compliance year-round.
