Methods of Roof Cleaning
6th March 2021
Non-pressure wash
This method uses chemicals such as sodium hydroxide or lye to clean off
the algae and other microorganisms. This is also why this method is also known as a chemical wash or non-pressure wash. While this method does not loosen your shingles, it can still cause damage. It can also affect the plants and trees in your surroundings. That is why it is essential to check if your product is also plant-friendly carefully or not before using it.
High-pressure wash
This method employs a machine that releases water with high pressure. This machine uses a hose that points to the dirty areas. These methods could serve as an effective method for some part of your roof. However, it may cause some shingles to come loose due to the force of the water pressure. And you may lose your warranty if your shingles come loose.
Low-pressure wash
This method is a combination of all the best attributes of both the above techniques- the high pressure and the non-pressure wash. It cleans your roof without causing any damage to your roof or your surroundings.
This method uses spray cleansers that the ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) approves of. As the name suggests, it uses low pressure to clean your roof and does it without causing damage to your roof. In most cases, it also gives you one of the best results.

Moreover, you will have to carry cleaning equipment too. As such, you may fall, which may cost you an even greater price. Or falling from your roof may even prove to be fatal. This is why we highly recommend that you leave the job to professionals who know best.
