Why you should be investing in prolonging the life of your roof.
Your roof can last many years with proper maintenance. Repairs are an essential part of this but cleaning your roof will also increase its life expectancy. Debris, moisture, and moss can do a lot more than take away from the roof’s appearance.
That’s why it’s recommended to have a professional inspect the roof and apply the appropriate cleaning techniques and products, such as the roof cleaning solution we developed at Elite Cleaning WA.
We’ll share some important information about cleaning your roof, including when, why, and how to do it.
Why should I clean my roof?
Not only will cleaning your roof improve the exterior appearance of your home, but you also remove debris, moss, mildew, and lichen which can grow on your roof tiles and tin and wear away the material.
Root growth caused by moss can grow underneath tiles and lift them, exposing them to the elements. In wet seasons the mould (glaeocapsa magma) can multiply and grow at a much quicker rate, and this growth can cause various issues with your roof’s plumbing.
When should I clean my roof?
Although some professionals may say once every three to five years, that’s a generic answer. When to clean your roof depends on a number of factors: the material of your roof, the current condition of the roof, and even the age of your roof are all things you should consider.
