Soft Wash Roof Cleaning in Cape Coral Florida

It might take a little time to discuss the process of soft washing, but it is important for anybody considering roofing cleaning to know at least a little bit about. So keep reading to find out about the detergents used and how they are applied and then stick around to see what spectacular results are yielded at the end. Interestingly the north facing sides of roofs are usually the worst and you’ll often see staining that looks like vertical black streaks. Stunningly this is a species of algae that decomposes the components of asphalt shingle roofs. Nasty stuff to have on your shingles and will absolutely lower the longevity of the structure top.

It’s crucial to halt any premature aging because the result is typically a whole roof replacement. Something as simple as a roof wash can make all the difference. Sodium Hydrochloride is the chemical used to rid a roof of undesirable growth. Different dilutions can be used depending on the severity of buildup. Obviously if fungus and algae have been cultivating for a number of years, then the chemical mixup needs to be stronger. A pump is needed to pump both solution and clean rinse water onto the roof as well as very long hoses. It is important that chemical be used within a couple of days because it loses its potency very quickly and therefore effectiveness will be almost none after a week or two.

Less Pressure Than Your Garden Hose!

With less pressure than what you would get from your yard hose, the solution is applied slowly and generously across the rooftop. Most staining will come off, but sometimes you’ll find that there are areas of the gable that has lost color or has been damaged beyond reconciliation by years of algae or mold buildup. You’ll see that the application begins to work in just a few minutes and all those black marks start to disappear. Once the solution mixture has been applied and allowed to sit for a little while, it can be rinsed with clear clean water or often times we do not rinse and we just wait for the next rain to do the rinsing.

Picture
A&M Roof Cleaning Cape Coral came out to do my home's tile roof and I am honestly blown away at the results. When we bought the house we knew the roof would need a good pressure wash, but I don't think either of us knew what the true color of the roofing material actually was until it was cleaned. They took their time to explain why traditional roof pressure washing is not the best thing to do due to water pressure creating miniature divets in the rooftop material where it will later be prone to more mold and mildew growth as well as breaking and potential leakage in the future.
