And what are the benefits of acting quickly to remove it? Knox Prowash [https://www.knoxprowash.com/pressure-washing-company-in-knoxville-tn/] has shared the answers with us, and now, we will share them with you. Learn more about roof cleaning, [https://www.knoxprowash.com/roof-cleaning-company-in-knoxville-tn/] how it works, and how you can do it for yourself by reading below.

The Risks of Not Washing Roofs

When roofs that are covered with debris are not washed, negative consequences can occur. Of course, the roof will be less visually appealing as a result of neglect. The true bright colors of the roof will be suffocated by debris, and this can impact the appearance of the property as a whole. Additionally, roofs that are covered with organic growth like moss and mold are prone to damage. These growths root into the roof and open passages for water to seep in. This accelerates the rate at which moisture damage occurs, meaning that leaks may develop more frequently. Annual roof cleaning is a great way to prevent this damage and avoid costly repairs.

Preparing For Roof Cleaning

To prepare for roof cleaning, the correct equipment must be collected. In particular, a pressure washing pump, an attaching hose, and treatment chemicals (such as sodium hypochlorite and zinc powder) must be acquired. It is important to use a low amount of water pressure when cleaning roofs because they are delicate structures that cannot withstand much force. The preferred amount of PSI for roof cleaning depends on the material. Most roofs, such as those made with asphalt shingles, should be washed with 500 PSI. A few materials, such as metal, can be washed with up to 1,200 PSI instead.

Safety is paramount during a roof cleaning project. Remember to always keep a tight hold on the ladder and to use a safety harness if necessary. Additionally, handle pressure washing equipment with care and always wear eye protection. Earplugs may also be necessary due to the volume of an operational pressure washing pump.

How to Clean a Roof

With the preparations out of the way, it is time to wash the roof. Begin by applying the previously acquired treatment chemicals to the roof. These cleaning compounds will help deteriorate any stubborn debris including moss and mold. Then, rinse the roof using the level of water pressure determined before. This will result in the removal of debris and the visual transformation of the roof. Regardless of what material it is made of, it will look much better as a result of roof cleaning. Remember to perform this process on a yearly basis for long-lasting results.

Residential and commercial property owners who wish to avoid the do-it-yourself roof cleaning process can reach out to a local pressure washing company for assistance. For example, Knox Prowash is happy to wash roofs of all shapes, sizes, and materials for clients like you.
