No Pressure Roof Cleaning
Roof cleaning, also known as roof de-cluttering, is the process of removing algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and moss from any roofing system.
Importance of Cleaning Your Roof
Cleaning roofs can extend their functionality. Algae and other build-up on shaded roofs receiving insufficient sun can reduce their lifespan. Debris, dirt, and biomass affect sunlight absorption and heat absorption by a house.
Routine professional roof cleaning is crucial for maintaining your home or commercial building’s safety and health. Our services eliminate unsightly stains and debris, as well as built-up organic material that can cause rot, damage, and even roof failure. By prolonging your roof’s longevity and enhancing its aesthetic appeal, you can avoid the costly and untimely endeavor of roof replacement.
Soft Washing - is a low-pressure cleaning method regularly utilized to safely treat and eliminate organic matter: mildew, bacteria, algae, fungus, moss, lichens in addition to dirt, grime, and spiderwebs.
Roofing Systems We Clean
Various materials and roof shapes have emerged to suit consumer preferences for cost and aesthetics. Regional environmental factors also influence the prevalence of specific roof types and materials across the US. For example, tile and metal roofs are common in Coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry of South Carolina, while asphalt roofs are more prevalent in inland areas..
What Causes Those Black Streaks?
The black or brown discoloration seen on a lot of roofs that are frequently mistaken for dirt or residue is, in fact, a type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. This kind of algae is transferred through the air and tends to land, gather, and grow on roofs. Besides generating unpleasant black streaks, these algae also feed on the limestone filler in your shingles, generating deterioration to your roof. Commonly found in climates with warm, humid summers, it does no damage to the roofing, but it certainly does look bad.
When left untreated, this algae can multiply quickly, feeding on your roofing shingles and tiles. This can lead to costly repairs and even devastating whole roof failure. Mold, mildew, and algae growth on your roof can also generate inadequate interior air quality and avoidable health concerns for you and your family.
Benefits of Roof Cleaning
Professional roof cleaning services enhance curb appeal, increase property value, and provide a clean, safe, and healthy environment for families and employees. At Clean Coastal Living, we understand that a clean roof lasts longer.
Improve Curb Appeal
If you don’t care about your home’s curb appeal, you should. A dirty, ugly roof destroys a home’s appeal quickly. Also, a clean, sparkling roof can increase your chances of selling your home.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Did you remember that the color of your roof can affect its energy efficiency? Like vehicles, darker colors absorb more heat, while lighter colors reflect it. Streaks and stains can also trap heat and reduce efficiency.
Prevent Gutter Debris
If your roof is dirty, dirtied with debris, or frequented by critters, this can lead to your gutters becoming obstructed. Once your gutters are clogged, you could move into concerns with roof damage, foundation problems, or landscaping ordeals due to water flooding.
