Roof cleaning can be a quick way to improve the appearance of your home, by clearing moss, dirt and anything else that has accumulated on your roof.
As a roof becomes older and get more porous, many become invaded by moss and debris. Maintaining a roof that is clean and free of moss and dirt can be quite difficult for most householders and can become a cause for problems.
Would it not be nice to have your roof looking like new again?
Why should I do it?
A really serious accumulation of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other organic growth may cause you major issues with your roof and the life-span of the tiles will in time be affected too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow uncontrollably with their roots working their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, steadily widening them over time until cracks emerge. Like all plants they need water to thrive, and once it has rained, they’ll act like a sponge holding as much water as they possibly can. As it finds its way through the cracks into your roof it may well cause serious and expensive destruction to the rafters and joists. Also you could well become aware of moss that has come loose and rolled down the roof finding itself in your gutter which in time can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which damages and soaks into your fascia boards. Really then, getting a roof cleaned is a necessary job for a number of reasons.
For a lot of people though cleaning their roof is entirely an aesthetic choice and we can’t blame you for that! Roofs can become very unsightly because of organic growths like lichen and moss, and at that point a roof cleaning professional is vital. Roofs are also frequently tarnished and stained by a prevalent bacterium called gloeocapsa magma affecting the familiar appearance of your otherwise beautiful home. Without a doubt, this bacteria growth is not unusual nonetheless it isn’t pleasant to see and after a while it can damage your roof. Comparing a clean roof and one that hasn’t been cleaned can be night and day. After months and years of seeing your roof get progressively dirtier wouldn’t it be brilliant to see it looking as good as new once more?
