House Washing: A Job For The Experts

Job For The Experts

You wouldn’t change your vehicle’s brakes unless you had extensive training and experience, would you? Would you cut your family’s hair if you had never picked up a pair of scissors in your life? Would you tell your child to take the wheel on a trip to the grocery store if they had never been in the driver’s seat before?

You get the picture: Some things are best left to the experts.

House washing is one such example. If conducted by a novice, you won’t just be left with a home that isn’t clean; you might be dealing with irreparable damage. DIY power cleaning equipment, in the hands of beginners, can prove to be more trouble than it’s worth. Without a knowledge of what pressure or soaps to apply, and how to apply it, siding, roofing, and other elements of the home can fall victim to damage. What’s more, it simply effective. A day’s worth of toil can result in a home that looks even worse than it did before the DIY attempt. And that is a valuable weekend afternoon wasted.

Why Choose The Non-Pressure Roof Cleaning Method?

Why Choose The Non-Pressure Roof Cleaning Method?

A customer recently asked me why we clean roofs with the Non-Pressure Roof Cleaning method.  The answer is fairly simple, it allows us to be thorough.   

If you have an older style clay tile or new style asphalt roof, it’s the only safe way to clean your roof without damaging the tiles or shingles.  It’s also the only method approved and recommended by Monier roofing ARMA (the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association).  Pressure Washing your asphalt roof will remove granules from the shingle and clay tiles will crack and you will destroy the concrete pointing holding the tiles down and making it weather tight and it will shorten the life of the roof.  Your roof might look better after it’s pressure washed, but it will come at the expense of a roof replacement sooner than it should.  Cleaning your roof with the Non-Pressure method can actually extend the life of your roof by removing the living organism that’s turning your green or black.  This living organism is actually feeding off the minerals in your roof, causing it to lose it’s structure.  By cleaning your roof the right way, you’re not only making your property look better, you’re saving yourself the added expense of premature replacement. 

If you have a Tile Roof, Non-Pressure Roof Cleaning is your best option because it’s the only way to remove all of the roof algae.  Pressure Washing your roof can clean the surface of the roof, but it can reach the thousands of crevasses your roof has and it won’t remove the roof algae that’s growing in those crevasses.  After Pressure Washing your roof, it will look beautiful, but it will have thousands of small colonies of roof algae that will grow and spread to the surface of your roof.  The Non-Pressure method uses chemicals to kill the roof algae.  It’s effective everywhere the solution reaches because it doesn’t rely on pressure to kill the roof algae.  A good, professional roof cleaner can safely apply the roof cleaning mix to the surface of your roof and it’s thousands of crevasses and insure your roof will stay clean for a longer period of time because it won’t have the thousands of roof algae colonies left behind, spreading to the visible areas of your roof.   In the past, pressure cleaning was the only way to clean your roof, but it’s outdated and inferior compared to today's Non-Pressure Roof Cleaning method.
