Choosing Between Pressure Washing and Soft Washing for Your Hazel Green, AL, Roof

Pressure washing and soft washing methods are both highly effective ways of cleaning your roof and removing all the accumulated dirt, grime, and grit. However, both these methods have their own respective uses.

Ø  Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is an excellent technique for cleaning a concrete roof and ensuring it’s free from all kinds of organic and inorganic pollutants.

This method directs highly compressed water on the external surfaces of your house. In the hands of a skilled house washing specialist, the jets of compressed water will blast away all the contamination and deep clean your roof. The professionals will know just which PSI rating to use on your roof. A very high-pressure setting can potentially damage the external finish of the roof. On the other hand, very low-pressure settings might not get the job done.

Pressure washing is widely considered to be the best means of removing loose and peeling paint or other tough stains from most surfaces. Pressure washing experts also use it to prepare your roof and walls for a fresh coat of paint. Paint and other external finishes adhere to clean surfaces far better than dirty ones.

Pressure washing is not a water-intensive procedure since the pressure of the water flow cleans the surface literally within seconds.

Ø  Soft Washing

Soft washing techniques are ideal for shingles and ceramic tiles. Instead of using very high-powered jets of water to get the job done, soft washing technicians use a mixture of potent herbicides and detergents that are allowed to soak into the surface.

This mixture would cut through the dirt, grit, and grime as well as bird droppings. Moreover, the herbicides will also eliminate moss, algae, mildew, lichen, and other organic parasites. After some time, the mixture is washed away with gentle streams of low-pressure water, leaving behind your original roof restored in all its pristine glory! This way there is no chance of waterlogging or any damage to the upper protective layers of your shingles.

The non-abrasive chemicals used in this process are too mild to damage the environment, yet they are powerful enough to thoroughly clean and restore your roof.

Both of the above methods are ideal for different types of roofing materials. You should let your house washing professionals determine which technique would be more suitable for your roof.
