Important Reasons for Cleaning Your Roof
2
There are hundreds of homeowners who rarely spend
any time thinking about the importance of
cleaning their roofs they believe that as long
as the roof isnt leaking then things are
alright. The truth is that when the roof is not
subjected to regular roof cleaning practices it
easily becomes subject to a number of unpleasant
issues which can eventually lead to the entire
roof replacement.
3
This is because the neglect will lead to faster
deterioration than what would happen if roof
cleaning was employed. Homeowners need to be
aware of the signs of trouble as well as some of
the roof cleaning methods that exist that will
easily eliminate any potential problems remember
that preventive measures are always cheaper than
repair or replacement costs. 
4
Black algae are most commonly found on slopes of
the roof with the least exposure to the sun
there are shingles that are made of zinc or
copper that can actually inhibit their growth.
You can easily prevent the growth of this form of
algae by trimming all branches that overhang the
roof so as to allow more sunlight to reach the
roof.
5
Low pressure roof cleaning using a solution of
chemicals that can kill the algae is one of the
best methods to take care of this problem if you
have the time you can also use soft roof wash
using a brush as long as you are careful not to
damage the shingles. Since there are many types
of chemicals that are used to wash roofs, you
want to contact a professional company that only
uses environmentally friendly chemicals that will
wash without causing damage to plants and
animals.  
6
Debris staining is yet another problem that
occurs especially on low pitched roofs that are
surrounded by trees with overhanging branches.
The staining will occur when debris such as
leaves and twigs are left to collect on the roof
these piles will retain moisture the eventually
leads to more serious damage if it is left
unchecked.
7
Algae and fungus will originate here in addition
the growth of other plants that can easily cause
large roof leaks. When loss, lichen and other
plant life are left to thrive on such a neglected
roof, roof pressure wash is the best way to fix
this problem great care should be taken so that
no damage occurs to the shingles.     
8
There are many roof cleaning issues that if they
are left unchecked, they will easily wreak havoc
to your roof. The tiles, shingles and shakes will
eventually deteriorate as a result of weathering
and the effects of mold on the roof structure
itself. It is important that you are on the
lookout so you can easily notice the telltale
signs that it is time for roof cleaning
preventive measures are cheaper than replacing
the entire roof.
