The Pros and Cons of Regular Roof Cleaning
8th January 2019
Pros: No More Moss
One benefit that we talk a lot about at Just Clean is the prevention of moss build-ups. Moss and other organisms are a natural growth that lives on roofs and within the shingles of your roof. They are a living organism that feeds off the moisture of your roof and can inflict a particular amount of damage to the structure of your roof.
Moss build-ups can be particularly difficult to remove once they’ve left to grow a considerable amount, which is why it will be helpful to remove them once you notice they’re starting to grow.
Pros: Prevents Damage to Your Roof
The growth of moss on your roof can damage the shingles and tiles. This is important to take notice of, as you don’t want any moss or other organism build-ups to ruin the structure and safety of the roofing.
Roof Cleaning Chorley services say that cleaning your roof regularly discourages the growth of moss and other organisms, meaning that your roof remains healthy and clean throughout the year! Moss build-ups can even cause severe damage to your roof once it starts growing in-between the shingles on your roof, causing shingles to dislodge or break. Regular maintenance prevents this from happening.
Cons: Loss of Shingle Granules
Treating and cleaning your roof in a rough manner will cause damage to the shingle granules on each tile. This means that they could end up becoming dislodged or cracked from rough handling.
Make sure you use the relevant cleaning tools to scrub your roof when dealing with moss and other growths in order to avoid this issue.
Cons: Pressure Washing Can Be Dangerous
Not only is pressure washing dangerous, but it’s also a terrible idea. Although it might make the job of cleaning your roof quicker, it also will damage your roof. Using your average pressure washer on your roof will cause water damage and will dislodge shingles, meaning that your roof is no longer safe.
Roof cleaning Chorley advises strongly to use the intended tools when cleaning your roof to avoid such disasters and costing you more money in the long run.
