Algae or moss growth

Common Defects & Damage Types
Algae or moss growth Algae or moss growth is the accumulation of living organisms on damp concrete surfaces. The growth often creates a slippery walking surface in shaded or consistently wet areas.

Algae and moss thrive where moisture remains for extended periods because of poor drainage, shade, or frequent water exposure. Although they do not usually damage the concrete itself, they can increase slip hazards for pedestrians. Correcting drainage and cleaning the surface help reduce recurring growth.
