In our humid climate, it is common for organics such as algae and mildew to cling and grow on the exterior of your home.
We use a proprietary soap mix, combined with a soft wash technique to effectively and safely clean your home's exterior.
The black streaks or staining on asphalt shingle roofs is actually an airborne algae (Gloeocapsa Magma).
This algae not only affects the appearance and curb appeal of your home, it also breaks down the shingle, leading to a shorter lifespan of your roof.
Staining also reduces a roof's reflective power, casuing it to be less energy efficient.
E.C.M. uses a low-pressure (less than 300 psi) application of a sodium hypochorite / soap mixture to clean and kill the algae, as recommended by The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers.
Having your concrete professionally cleaned can make a big difference. Too much pressure or improper cleaning can damage or cause stripes in your concrete.
We use the correct cleaning solution for the type of staining on or in your concrete. We also use large surface cleaners to get an even quicker clean, and prevent what our industry calls "zebra stripes".
We hand clean and bag debris from gutters. Then rinse the gutters and downspouts to ensure all is clean and flowing properly.
Pressure washing can damage wood, vinyl and composite materials. We use a proprietary soap mix and soft wash technique to safely clean decks and fences.
Most commercial cleanings are the same processes as residential, only on a larger scale. We pride ourselves on having the equipment, training and experience to tackle any large projects.
