What is Low Pressure Roof Cleaning?
Everyone knows that pressure washing works wonders on your pavement but is unsafe to point at the house. High-pressure water is too powerful for most siding, windows, or roof shingles. But low-pressure washing is just what the doctor ordered, especially when administered by an expert roof washing team.
In fact, low-pressure washing provides more than just the power of perfectly pressurized water. The service also includes a gentle yard-safe cleaning solution, which is sprayed over your roof to help kill and discourage things like algae and mold growth and break up any mineral buildup that may have hardened onto your roof surface.
Once the solution soaks in a bit, your roof is then thoroughly rinsed, peeling away years of deeply ingrained dirt and growth to reveal the natural color of your roof below.
The Cleansing Solution
The cleansing solution used during low-pressure roof washing is gentle and mild. Several different formulas and mixtures can be used, but all of them are safe for both plants and animals, so that any dripping off the roof is fine for your yard and safe if touched by children or household pets. You may notice some sudsing or a vinegar smell depending on the solution formula used.
Your roofers will select the solution mixture based on the state of your roof. For example, a slightly different formula may be used depending on whether you have signs of mold, algae, or mineral deposits on your roof to wash away.
The Pressure Level of Low-Pressure Roof Cleaning
We call this method low-pressure roof cleaning in contrast with traditional pressure washing. A high-pressure washer that is capable of blasting the dust out of sturdy concrete can be adjusted for a gentler flow that does not risk dislodging your roof shingles. This low-pressure setting applies just the right amount of pressure to give your roof a deep cleaning while maintaining its strength and integrity.
The Process of Low-Pressure Roof Cleaning
Low-pressure roof cleaning can be completed in three simple steps and just a few hours of careful work from your roof cleaning team.
- Clear away furniture around the roof edge
