WHY? Why is it important to clean a property roof, is a good question that many people don't consider.
Roof cleaning not only improves the appearance of your home but importantly, it extends the lifespan of your roof and helps to prevent any future costly repairs caused by significant damage.
Moss acts like a sponge, trapping moisture, which can cause water damage. Moss can threaten the integrity of your roof when it puts roots into the roof under and between the shingles.
Algae, and fungi spores can spread and cause premature ageing, discolouration, and rotting or damage of roof shingles. Lichen is a combination of both algae and fungus. Lichens grow roots attaching securely to your shingles also causing damage if left over time.
Mould and mildew can grow on a roof where it has absorbed water. Moisture trapped in your roofing system poses a real risk to developing mould as well as causing damage.
If moisture sinks down into the wood of your roof, you could end up with standing water that softens and rots the wood, compromising its strength and safety.
Neglected tiles can be damaged or cracked from any of this build-up, leading to leaks, damp, and rot setting into the interior of your home. The odour of rotting wood can attract rodents and other pests. Mould growth can lead to health issues for your family and pets.
JC's Gutter Cleaning Service can diligently and carefully clean your roof with a jet wash, adding a biocide treatment to the roof afterwards to help prevent moss and algae from growing back too quickly.
Most roofs can be cleaned in a full working day with some larger properties taking up part or all of a second day.
