Every property, whether residential or commercial has this 1 thing in common, a roof! It protects your greatest financial investment It protects you and all your valuables from rain, snow, wind, cold, and heat not to mention insects and winged creatures.
Roof cleaning, using a soft wash method, means applying a cleaning solution at low pressure to your roof. It will kill roof damaging and life-shortening growths on your roof such as:
1) Black streaks ( Gloeocapsa Magma) 2) Algae 3) Bacteria 4) Moss 5) Lichen
Left untreated, these organics can cause much damage to your roof by lifting shingles, allowing the weather to infiltrate seals, water damage, void warranties, and sometimes allow insurance companies to drop your policy.
MAIN BENEFITS OF SOFT WASHING YOUR ROOF
1) The ARMA ( Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Assoc.) recommends cleaning roofs in this manner as to not damage tiles or void warranties. 2) Money Savings- Dirty, dark rooftops draw more sunlight leading to higher electric bills. A roof that has been soft washed will lower your cooling costs.
3) Broaden Lifespan- Algae, like black streaks, feed on limestone which is in most shingles. This can lead to damaged, brittle, and premature degradation of your roof.
4) Less Expensive than a roof replacement- Many people replace their roofs thinking the moss ruined it when a soft wash could have done the trick at a fraction of the cost.
