Is pressure washing your roof bad?

Those insurance companies threatened to cancel homeowners policy if properties were not properly cleaned. These letters usually catches home owners by surprise because those roof stains are usually go unnoticed until they receive that mail.
Why is it Important having your roof soft-washed?
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, also known as ARMA, recommends shingle roofs cleaned with low water pressure below 500 psi. This is called the roof soft washing process in the exterior cleaning industry.
A roof can say a lot about the condition of your property. According to some local real estate agents, this is an average consumer opinion. There are several reasons to have your roof soft washed:
- A black, dirty roof can increase your electric cooling bills because it attracts more heat from the sun.
- A dirty roof is an eyesore when selling or leasing your property.
- If your stained roof is left untreated, those black stains will eventually destroy your shingles.

Causes for black streaks on your roof.
Dirty black streaks that appear on the roof are a living organism called “Gloeocapsa Magma.” It lives in the asphalt shingles and feeds off the limestone used to bind the filler together. More often than not, it is worse on the north side of the roof. To thrive, Gloeocapsa Magma needs three things: moisture, heat, and nutrients. If there are trees in proximity of the house, the shade and humidity create a near-ideal habitat for the Gloeocapsa Magma, also known as algae. The worst news is that algae do not go away on their own. It will spread to other parts of the roof. Soon after, the mold, mildew, and lichen will also start growing. The good news is that you can help avoid these elements’ growth with proper roof maintenance.

What do you need to know about the soft wash roof cleaning process?
Sometimes we hear consumers asking, “Can I rent a pressure washer and do it myself?” The short answer is YES; you can rent a pressure washer and tackle the job yourself. The right question would be, “SHOULD you rent a pressure washer and do the cleaning yourself?” The answer is not so simple. A commercial pressure washer can develop a tremendous amount of water pressure, in many cases enough to pierce or cut the unprotected skin and cut through the shingles. The powerful blast of water can break a window or crack the vinyl siding. It can damage the glass window. In most cases, your should entrust your roof cleaning to adequately trained and equipped professionals.

Other roof cleaning services we offer.
An asphalt shingle roof is not the only type of roof to clean. A metal roof, also known as a Glavlalume roof, faces similar problems. Often the sap from the pecan and oak trees instead of the algae pollutes the roof. Sometimes it’s both of those things. It is near impossible to clean those pesky black stains without proper soft wash equipment and proper detergents.
