The roof is arguably the most critical part of every residential or commercial property, but did you know it is also one of the most vulnerable? The roof is constantly gaining exposure to various natural elements, such as the sun, wind, rain, and snow. Believe it or not, exposure to these natural elements can build up over time, drastically affecting the roof’s quality and appearance. For instance, the sun’s harmful UV rays can break down the roof’s shingles, which can wear and tear over time, even if your roof comprises strong materials. 

 

As time goes on, it’s not uncommon for roofs to accumulate mold, mildew, moss, algae, and other outdoor materials and substances. These substances can cause brutal stains to your roof, as well as causing shingles to rot. Proper and effective cleaning and maintenance is the best way to avoid this issue. It is in your property’s best interest to professionally pressure wash your roof approximately twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. Doing so can restore your roof’s appearance while effectively removing harmful substances that can damage your roof’s materials. Before pressure washing, let the experts at Nice Mobile Washing analyze your roof to identify any potential problems! 

 

Soft Washing

Even though pressure washing can be accomplished independently, you’re better off leaving it to the professionals. The reasoning is that roofs are made from delicate materials like wood, slate, ceramic, concrete, asphalt, and clay. Roofs are slightly different compared to many other exterior surfaces; they need a gentler approach when it comes to cleaning. If not performed correctly, there is a high chance of damage being done to your roof. Professional pressure washers demonstrate a technique called soft washing, which is different from the traditional pressure washing process. Traditional pressure washing consists of high-pressure water, which can damage your roof’s materials. Soft washing is a better and more effective alternative because it consists of a biodegradable cleaning solution to remove dirt, debris, and mold from your roof. The cleaning solution instantly kills these harmful substances and prevents them from returning. This process helps your roof remain clean and healthier for extended periods of time.
