In humid climates, algae, moss, mildew, and other debris can damage your roof rapidly. The buildup of these natural elements feeds off the humidity and can be exacerbated by debris and dirt clinging to your roof. This is an all-too-common occurrence that cannot be fully prevented, but it can be addressed to help protect your roof. One of the best ways to do this and extend your roof’s lifespan is by roof washing.
Many people suppose that roof washing is not necessary since it rains. You may assume that rain will help wash away any of that buildup. Unfortunately, the rain is a major cause of the growth and debris. It brings in additional moisture and can cause debris to stick to the roof, keeping rainwater trapped underneath, which then spreads to cause further damage. Roof washing is a necessity that should be handled with care and done by professionals such as our team at Clear View Softwashing. We do not use pressure washing as the intense force could cause additional damage to your roof. But softwashing, which uses less water and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, can rid your roof of harmful debris and buildup as well as protect against the return of mildew, algae, bacteria, and more.
Roof washing not only keeps your roof looking great and removes damaging buildup, but it also can double the lifespan of your roof and help keep it energy efficient to better protect your home against external elements. Additionally, because roof washing removes damaging debris and bacteria, it also protects against pests that are attracted by the algae, moss, and dirt that accumulates on your roof. One additional advantage is that by making sure to take care of your roof washing each year, you can increase the value of your home and keep your roof’s warranty active.
