Now YOU have been "CLUED IN" to the Insider
Secrets of Roof Cleaning
Now you KNOW what NOT TO DO to your
Richmond, VA roof
Here is a quick recap:
1. NO
harsh and damaging pressure washing
2. NO
low pressure rinsing as pressure of any kind should ever be considered other than garden hose misting or the
equivalent hard rain. Any stronger pressures can remove important roofing granules which hold and bind
roofing materials together therefore maximizing roof life
3. Absolutely NEVER use "degreasers" such as sodium
hydroxide on asphalt roofing shingles as these chemicals are too HARSH for safe roof cleaning
So, if YOUR roof happens to be
stained and dirty, what then? Read On....
Do you
REALLY KNOW what's EATING your Richmond Virginia Roof... kindly allow us explain in more
detail?
Based upon our OVER TWO DECADES of Roof Cleaning experience we are glad and more than
happy to enlighten you to what's really going on your rooftop.
The black streaking you see on your Central Virginia Roof is called
(GLOEOCAPSA
MAGMA) which is very infectious, meaning it will
transfer from one side of your roof to the other side or even from one house to another. The more there is
the faster it will grow.
Although most of our Central Virginia
Roof Cleaning customers are concerned more about the aesthetics or curb appeal, the hungry roof algae is
actually eating away at the limestone filler in the asphalt roofing
shingles.
In time this Roof Algae will loosen up the ceramic
granules that are providing ultra violet protection for your roof these ceramic roofing granules will begin
to fall away much faster than they should, taking away years of the expected life of your roofing
shingles.
The dark growth also draws in more heat than the
clean spots on the roof, which will also shorten the life of the shingle roofing.
Curb appeal is another big consideration to anyone
who may be looking to sell their house. A potential
buyer may truly believe they will need to replace the roof for thousands of dollars, when in reality it could be
taken care of by the home owner and Roof Cleaning Richmond Virginia 804-687-4960 for a small fraction of the cost of roof replacement.
