Reasons Why You Should Hire a Professional to Clean Your Roof
29th January 2019
Avoid Insurance Cancellations
Insurers are calling out homeowners for the following reasons:
- Dark algae streaks
- Dirty roof shingles, algae on brick, wood or vinyl siding
- Visible lichen or green moss on your roof
- Buildups beneath your roof tiles.
A professional roof cleaning service will take care of these items. Avoid insurance policy cancellations by doing the necessary maintenance exercise to your property.
Improve Your Home’s Appeal
A roof washing exercise helps your house shine from the outside. It gives the same appeal and looks of when you first moved into the property.
You’d be surprised at how good your house looks with a clean roof. Roofs get dirty rather gradually, so you don’t notice how dirty your roof can get.
However, when cleaned, your house looks new — the sense of pride in the property will double or even triple in an instant.
Plus, if you want to resell your home, a small investment in roof cleaning can mean the difference in price, running to thousands of pounds.
Improves Your Home’s Energy Efficiency
Do you know the status of your roof affects your energy costs? But it’s true! As moss, dirt, and algae accrue between tiles, shingles, and cracks on your ceilings, they expand the openings and allow heat through.
With this, your house will pay more to keep your home warm in winter. You’ll also need more energy to keep the property cool during summer. The sooner you clean your roof, the earlier you start saving on power and money.
Help the Gutters Stay Clean
The roof and its gutter work hand in hand. If there’s dirt on your roofs, rainwater will push this dirt to your gutters. If gutters have a problem, they’ll increase your roof problems or lead to other issues like foundation problems.
If there’s damage to external sides of your home, it’s likely to result from dirt roof runoff water. Where the gutters are full of dirt, they’ll start to weigh down and damage your fascia and roofs. At times, they may attract insects as they’ll have convenient nesting areas. You don’t want this to happen.
Conclusion
While you may think it’s easier and cheaper to DIY your roof cleaning, it’s not. Consider the costs you’ll incur if you fall off your roof or the ladder and up in a hospital. Or, what if you end up causing more damages to your roof than you can help?
