Excellent — here’s a fresh, suburb-saturated blog post titled:
South Auckland homes are built tough — but they still take a beating from Auckland’s coastal weather, wet winters, and lush plant life. From Papakura and Manurewa to Māngere and Ōtāhuhu, homes in this region deal with:
- Algae and mould growth
- Grime from busy roads
- Salt and pollution buildup
- Shady, damp spots that won’t dry for months
If your walls are looking green, your trims are dirty, or your tenants are complaining about “musty smells,” it’s time to act.
At Metro Water Blasting, we provide professional, damage-free soft house washing across South Auckland, restoring your home’s exterior before winter makes problems worse.

Why House Washing Matters More in South Auckland
| Common Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Dense vegetation | Keeps walls shaded and damp |

| Traffic grime | Leaves black film on cladding |
| Older homes | More prone to surface wear and paint damage |
These issues affect homes in Wattle Downs, Takanini, Manukau, Ōtāhuhu, and surrounding suburbs.
