The 3 Most Important Benefits Of Softwashing Your Roof
Soft washing your roof entails using low-pressure cleaners and then delicately rinsing away the pollutants with clean water. Soft washing, as opposed to power washing, causes less harm to your home and helps it stay cleaner for longer. With this procedure, no screens are required to be removed, and there is less risk of harming the windows and seals around the windows.
Taking care of your property, which is one of your largest financial investments, should be a top concern. The roof is another crucial component of your property to maintain, which you can do by giving it a gentle wash.
Black streaks, fire moss, and bacteria can all degrade the appearance of your roof and limit its lifespan. When left to grow uncontrolled on your roof, fire moss will raise shingles and allow the weather to permeate the seal and shingles, causing water damage and eventually demanding a roof repair.
Get a soft washing to safely remove these dangerous growths without hurting your roof. While pressure washing can damage your roof and result in expensive repairs, soft washing is a safe and biodegradable alternative for removing dangerous growths.

The Main Benefits of Soft Washing your roof:
Get your roof soft washed if you want it to look nice. Bacteria and algae can form on your roof over time. These organisms, as well as any unsightly stains they generate, will be removed by soft washing with an eco-friendly biodegradable solution, restoring your property to its former glory.
-
Financial Savings
Because dirty rooftops are darker, they absorb more sunlight than clean roofs, resulting in higher power bills. Soft-washed roofs might help you save money on your cooling bills. Some homeowners have replaced entire roofs because of moss when a soft washing could have done the job at a fraction of the price.
-
Increased Lifespan
Algae eat on the limestone deposits in your shingles, leaving them brittle and unable to properly reflect UV rays, leading to premature deterioration. This early deterioration might reduce the lifespan of your roof by up to 50%. Soft washing, on the other hand, not only cleans but also preserves and extends the life of your roof.
If you live in the Upstate and see that your roof is being overwhelmed by dangerous roof algae, give us a call. This type of roof treatment is something we specialize in.
