Pressure washing is all well and good for hard concrete and other hard surfaces. However, there are several external surfaces on your property that require more gentle treatment.

Using very high pressure on your wooden deck or porch, for instance, would strip away it’s polish and outer finish. Once that happens, your deck will deteriorate rapidly. Much the same applies to your roof as well.

The shingles on your roof are already exposed to the elements 24/7 as it is, and have to withstand the sun’s UV radiation. Apart from that, wind, sleet, rain, and snow all take their toll. This is why roofing material manufacturers use protective finishes to ensure their products’ longevity and beauty.

However, power and pressure washing techniques can strip away these layers, especially if the water is mixed with bleach and other powerful scouring agents. Eventually, your roof will be at the mercy of the elements.

Another issue is waterlogging. Excess water pressure traps moisture deep inside the shingles. This means they end up becoming breeding grounds for organic parasites such as algae, mildew, mold, and fungus. Apart from defacing your property, they also decrease the service life of your roof. As they grow roots, they destroy your shingles from the inside out. In time, you would have to splurge for expensive repairs, and even the outright replacement of your entire roof.
