Your roof is exposed to the elements 24\/7. Apart from the grit, grime, and dirt, it also has to face bird droppings and a whole slew of organic contaminants such as moss, mildew, lichen, and fungus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gloeocapsa magma<\/em> is a particularly hardy algae-like bacteria species that thrives in shady places. Once its spores land on your roof, it\u2019s only a matter of time before they start spreading rapidly all over the place. Apart from being an aesthetic nuisance, it retains moisture and reduces the service life of your shingles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that\u2019s not the worst of it. Since moisture attracts other forms of organic pollution, it\u2019s only a matter of time before your roof and walls end up being covered in all kinds of unseemly growths.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If allowed to remain, they can drastically reduce the lifespan of your roof, and you will have to spend a lot on extensive repairs. If the damage is severe enough, you will eventually have to replace your entire roof!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. Not when you can engage the services of professional soft-washing experts. These people know just what needs to be done to safely eliminate this problem and also ensure it doesn\u2019t return anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Soft Washing Can Help Protect Your Roof<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This washing technique is different from pressure washing because it doesn\u2019t rely on blasting water at extremely high pressure to clean your roof. While heavy-duty pressure washing can certainly clean your shingles in the short term, it will also decrease their service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High pressure can strip the protective upper layers of your tiles and make them brittle and easily breakable. Moreover, pressure washing can also lead to waterlogging issues. All that moisture trapped inside can lead to re-infestation of organic contaminants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft washing takes care of all these issues. Sparkle Wash Upstate\u2019s highly trained professionals use a bespoke mixture of cleaning agents and herbicides. These chemicals are mild on the environment yet harsh on organic and inorganic pollutants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
