Moss and Algae
Moss and algae can build up over time, as dirt gets deposited onto the roof, they are a type of plant matter that will grow thick and spongy. They trap moisture and introduce water seepage within the roofing materials. The presence of these type of organisms alone, introduce more species and growth to surrounding parts of the roof.

There are two options for cleaning your roof if you are looking for something more instant, we offer pressure cleaning which still provides a quality finish but is more abrasive. If you are looking for something that will stay clean for a longer time, we offer a gentler low-pressure method called soft washing in which the entire roof will be sprayed with a chemical treatment that will attack fungi and organic growth. Different roofs may need different processes of cleaning so get in touch with one of our professionals for advice!

Asphalt Shingles
Plastic Sheets
Slate Tiles
Pressure Cleaning
More effective on certain types of roofs, particularly those with sturdy materials like concrete and terracotta tiles. Best done on roofs with lifespans of less than 6 years. This process involves using high pressure water on the roof's surface to dislodge and wash away buildup through force.
Roof Soft wash
A gentle approach to cleaning the roof, soft washing will involve spraying a total of 3 coats onto the entire roofing material with 20 minutes of saturation time between each coating. This will allow the chemical agent to clean the roof of moss algae or any other organic growth.
Pressure Cleaning and Soft wash
A combination of both pressure cleaning and treatment for a complete clean.
First a light pressure cleaning at a lower psi will be done just to remove the surface layer of the build-up on the roof. Then the roof will be sprayed with 3 coats of a solution that will chemically act on any of the underlying deeper roots of organic growth.

The chemical used in the soft wash treatment acts on organic matter and dries the moisture content out so that it will be removed. You may see white powdery spots left after the cleaning, but it is not permanent damage or discoloration. Just the organic matter turned into a powder, over time this will go away and typically after a single heavy rainfall you will see it dissapear.
We recommend roof cleaning once a year to prevent the buildup of moss, algae, and debris, preserving its appearance and structural integrity. However, the frequency may vary based on factors like your location, climate, and surrounding vegetation. However, if the roof is being treated through the softwash method it only needs to be done every 5 years.
Yes, but only when done correctly. The pressure cleaning method is a bit more abrasive and therefore riskier and should only be done on more newer roofs, but our soft washing method is the safest way to go in terms of results and protecting your roof from damage.
