Why Roof Cleaning Is Essential Maintenance For Your Home

Many homeowners either forget about roof cleaning or don't know all the benefits it offers. That's why you can drive down streets in any neighborhood and see so many black rooftops with stains, streaks, and debris covering them.

If your roof surfaces have ugly black streaks or stains, fallen leaves, sticks, acorns, dirt, and peeling or cracking shingles, it's crucial to clean them up. These issues can make your home look run down as well as lead to early decay.

Why Roof Cleaning Is So Important

Debris and dirt can destroy any surface material of your home's exterior, and your rooftop is no different when it comes to needing cleaning. Sure, if you never get the roof cleaning done, the debris on your roof will probably slide its way down and off the surface, but during the time it sits on the roof, it will cause the roofing materials to rot quicker than if they were kept clean.

• Decaying organic debris quickens roof rot.
• Algae eat the limestone in asphalt shingles.
• Roofing shingle manufacturer or homeowner's insurance company may require regular roof cleaning.
• Lack of roof care brings down the home's value.

The Best Roof Cleaning Methods

Soft washing is a very effective way to clean shingles, tile, and metal roofs. Since it works so well for roof cleaning and doesn't harm the building materials of your home or commercial building, it's the best technique to use.

Roofing material manufacturers agree on using this method for roof cleaning shingles and other roofing systems. Siding manufacturers also say this technique is safe for cleaning vinyl as well as the many other cladding materials.
