There are many reasons why professional roof washing is essential for maintaining the health of your roof. Here are some key benefits:
At SHV Pressure Washing, we use a soft washing technique for roof cleaning, which is much gentler than traditional high-pressure washing. Here’s how our process works:
Before beginning any work, our team will carefully inspect your roof to assess its condition. We’ll check for any damage, areas of heavy algae or moss growth, and any other potential concerns. This helps us determine the best cleaning approach to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the process.
Once we’ve assessed your roof, we apply a specially formulated, eco-friendly cleaning solution to the affected areas. This solution is designed to break down algae, moss, and lichen without damaging your roofing materials. It also sanitizes your roof, preventing the regrowth of these organisms.
Unlike traditional pressure washing, we use soft washing to clean your roof. Soft washing uses a low-pressure water stream that is both effective and safe. It allows us to thoroughly clean the roof without the risk of damaging shingles, flashing, or underlayment.
After the cleaning solution has had time to work, we rinse your roof with clean water, ensuring that all debris, dirt, and cleaning solution are removed. We’ll then do a final inspection to make sure your roof is completely clean and in great condition.
