Protect the Investment in Your Roof with Regular Cleaning

Spread the love

The roof of your home is one of the most expensive components to replace. You want to make sure it lasts as long as possible before needing to invest in a new roof. One of the best ways to protect your roof and extend the lifespan is with regular cleaning. Removing debris, moss and dirt can help minimize damage and add years to the life of your roof.

Cleaning your roof is best done with low-pressure washing. While sweeping can remove loose debris, it does not clean off moss, mildew and other substances that can ruin your roof and detract from the beauty of your home. A pressure washer is the best tool for the job, but it must be done at low-pressure to protect the roof from damage. Too high of pressure can loosen shingles and cause expensive damage to your roof.

Use a Professional Pressure Washing Service

While it may seem easy to pressure wash your roof on your own, it is not as simple as it seems. It is important to know the right setting to effectively remove debris without causing damage. Plus, roof cleaning can be dangerous; one slip, and you could find yourself on the ground with broken bones or worse. It is best to leave this risky job to professionals that know the correct techniques and have the experience to complete the job without injury.

To protect the investment in your roof, have it cleaned once a year by a professional pressure washing service. Spring and summer are the best time to clean your roof, keeping it clear of moss, mildew and debris that can cause damage.
