Tile roof cleaning
The tiles on the roof of your house are daily
exposed to the elements and wrath of nature and
if great care is not taken, they will soon start
to look dilapidated. When moss, mildew and tree
sap accumulate on the roof tiles they appear old
and unsightly. While most people are careful
about cleaning doors, windows and floors of their
houses, very little attention is given to
pressure roof cleaning perhaps because of the
adage, out of sight, out of mind. Roof tiles
are cleaned by spreading particular chemicals
over them they are left on for a while before
pressure cleaning is done. Good roof cleaning
companies will always encourage the use products
that are eco-friendly such as those that are
based on sodium hydroxide. You may also want to
make use of a chlorine bleach solution in water
which is a more affordable alternative.

Methods of roof cleaning
There are a lot of skills that is required during
pressure roof cleaning and as such, always insist
that it is done by a professional. In short, most
of the time the procedure will be something like
this Initial Power Washing The first step of
pressure roof washing involves the use of a
pressure washer to remove all the loose debris,
dirt as well as twigs and insects. The contractor
applies pressure from the ridge downwards towards
the gutter before they leave the roof to dry out
completely. Chemical Treatment The next step
also involves power washing but this time the
amount of water pressure is less than was used
previously and this is when the chemical mixture
is sprayed all over the roof. The chemicals are
allowed to remain on the tiles for a while so
they can loosen any debris that was stock on
them.

Final Rinsing The third and last step involves
washing to roof again in order to remove and
completely rinse off the chemicals and the
debris this is perhaps the most difficult part
of roof cleaning. The severity will be determined
by the extent to which the dirt, moss and debris
have built up and how long they may have stayed
on the roof. Resealing and repainting Finally,
the contractor coats the tiles with sealant to
protect them against harsh elements of climate
and give them a fresher newer look.
