If your roof looks dirty and grimy and appears to be covered in algae stains, you would definitely want to clean it.
Many people consider roof cleaning to be a ‘do-it-yourself’ job. However, nothing can be further from the truth. This highly technical task requires considerable skill, training, and experience before you can be assured of a good job.
On the other hand, trying to get the job done on your own can backfire spectacularly. This is especially true if you don’t have the necessary expertise or experience required to clean your roof. Let’s take a quick look at all the things that can go wrong if you undertake such an enterprise.
It Can Lead To Serious Injuries
Trying to climb your sloping roof dripping with slippery and soapy water can mean a quick trip to the ER—and it won’t just be your ego that gets bruised!
Professional roof-cleaning experts are trained to climb roofs and reach all those hard-to-access areas and clean them very thoroughly indeed. They have the training and the equipment to maintain their footing as they work on your roof.
They Know Just What Needs to Be Done!
They will assess your roof and check its condition before they start their job. If the place is covered in grit, grime, dirt, and bird droppings, they will use detergents and cleaning agents tailor-made for precisely this sort of problem. If they have to contend with algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and other organic parasites, they will use powerful yet eco-friendly herbicides to eliminate the contamination and ensure it doesn’t return any time soon.
They Have the Required Equipment
Running a simple garden hose won’t clean your roof properly. However, purchasing a high-power pressure washer won’t be a good idea either unless you know how to use it. Simple washing with a hose won’t clean the years’ worth of accumulated grit and grime.
The professionals will bring state-of-the-art equipment designed to wash all kinds of roofs and other areas of your property. From custom brushes to detergents tailor-made to handle the weather in York County, they have it all.
They Know the Required Pressure Settings
Too high a pressure setting will easily strip away the external protective coating on your shingles. Apart from rendering your warranty null and void, it will also leave them exposed to organic parasites. Moreover, it can also lead to waterlogging issues. Since organic pollutants thrive on moisture, they will return with a vengeance and will be more difficult to remove than ever before.
However, you don’t need to worry about any of these issues thanks to Sparkle Wash York. Our roof-washing experts won’t just clean your roof—they will seal it with high-quality sealers to ensure it becomes largely impervious to UV radiation and all kinds of pollution.
