The roof is one of the most important parts of your house, offering protection from the elements, creating an effective building envelope, and contributing to your home’s aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Taking care of it is extremely important, and that includes maintaining it through roof washing.
At Pristine Safe Roof and Exterior Cleaning, we offer roof washing services that can enhance your roof’s appearance and protect it from damage by removing dirt and grime and killing organic growth. This is possible through soft washing, a gentle alternative to pressure washing that incorporates biodegradable cleaning solutions with low water pressure. This method of roof washing has many benefits, including financial ones. Here are a few ways roof washing can help you save money:
- Preventing Expensive Damage – Contaminants like algae, mold, and mildew can damage roofing materials like asphalt shingles and tiles over time, causing holes and leaks. The damage to your roof and the damage caused by leaks can be very expensive, but investing in roof washing to prevent these issues can help you avoid these costs.
- Lowering HVAC Costs – Some algae that grow on roofs are dark in color, which can make your roof absorb more heat from the sun and drive up your air conditioning costs. Roof washing removes these dark spots and restores your roof’s reflectivity.
- Preserving Health – Mold on your roof can lead to spores spreading inside your home through small gaps, which can then affect your indoor air quality and respiratory health. Roof washing may be able to help with avoiding trips to the doctor’s office, especially if anyone in your household has an allergy to mold or respiratory conditions like asthma.
