Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home because it protects you and your family, as well as your belongings, from the elements. As time passes, algae, moss, and debris can accumulate on top of your roof, making it look unsightly and even shortening its lifespan. While it may be tempting to schedule a pressure washing appointment to tackle the problem, this approach can end up causing more harm than good.
During the roof cleaning process, pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime. While it may seem effective, it can damage shingles, strip away protective granules, and even create leaks by forcing water under the shingles. This aggressive method can lead to costly repairs and reduce the overall life of your roof.
In comparison, soft washing is a gentle and highly effective alternative to normal pressure washing. This exterior cleaning method combines low-pressure water with specialized cleaning solutions that can eliminate algae, moss, mold, and other contaminants. Because this method relies on cleaning agents instead of pressure, it can safely remove harmful growth from your roof without damaging the shingles, flashing, or gutters.
In addition to being safe for your roof, soft washing is environmentally friendly. The cleaning process uses biodegradable solutions that won’t harm your pets, your landscaping, or things in the surrounding area. Soft washing also provides longer-lasting results for roof cleaning when compared to other methods.
