What’s Wrong With Moss and Algae?
Moss is common on shaded areas of the roof. It’s wet, and it grows steadily. Over time, moss can cause shingles to curl up and tiles to come loose, creating space that allows moisture in. Eventually, that moisture can lead to wood rot and leaks.
Algae tends to grow in areas of the roof where water sits. It doesn’t harm shingles, but it will cause issues with the roof’s ability to reflect the sun – which can increase utility bills during our brutal Midwest summers.
The roof cleaning experts at Hoffman Exterior Cleaning use gentle pressure and an effective bleach solution to wash away moss and algae, extending the life of the roof.
Do I Need a Professional Roof Cleaning Company?
For several reasons, roof cleaning should be left to the experts.
Climbing a ladder is dangerous
Most home or business owners are not used to climbing multiple stories on a ladder while dragging a hose. Our team has done this job hundreds of times, so we know how to do it safely.
Walking on the roof can cause damage
Not only is it dangerous to walk on a roof, but tiles can break, metal can dent, and asphalt shingles can come loose. We have the equipment and knowledge to protect your roof while cleaning it.
Bleach cleaners must be properly applied
When mixed and used correctly, bleach solutions are very effective for removing organic organisms from the roof. But if not handled and applied the right way, bleach can be harmful to skin, roofing materials, and surrounding vegetation.
