The Dirty Underbelly
Got a raised deck?
If your home has a raised deck, you probably know just how "funky" the underside of that deck can get. It's always damp, it's always in the shade, and it's almost always a moldy, algae-covered mess.
If your home has an outdoor shower, patio, parking space, or even a hot tub beneath an overhead deck, the mold and algae overhead may be literally staring you in the face.
Yes, we can clean the underside of your raised deck.
"Why does the underside of my raised deck get so FILTHY?"
Mold and algae thrive in spaces which are usually shaded and damp. Sound familiar?
"HOW do you clean under there?"
It's really messy and gross. I use hydrogen peroxide and a power washer, as shown in this video:
"When is the best time of year to clean under a deck?"
Early spring is a popular time to clean under a deck. It's a good time to clear out the grime which may have accumulated during winter, and - because cleaing beneath a deck can impact what's above the deck - it's helpful to do this before the deck is covered with summertime furniture and decorations.
"Can anything be done to prevent it from turning green again?"
After a thorough cleaning, we can apply a safe and natural mold and mildew inhibitor, so that you can enjoy a clean overhead space for longer than you otherwise would. This application will not keep it clean forever, but will certainly keep it clean for far longer than it would otherwise be.
