As your home’s top layer of defense, your roof can expect to incur some wear and tear over the years. While it’s normal for roofs to lose their luster over time, many homeowners don’t realize that those unsightly streaks are more than just dirt and grime – they’re actually harmful bacteria that grow on, around, and under roofing materials, particularly shingles. Left untreated, these contaminants can wreak havoc on a roof, causing decay and deterioration. That’s where softwashing comes in.
Here’s why it’s the best way to keep your roof clean and protected:
- Harmful Bacteria Eradication – While other roof cleaning methods, like pressure washing, blast away the harmful contaminants that can infect your roof, softwashing reaches deep down to the root of the problem to completely eradicate bacterial growth.
- Gentle on Roofing Materials – While roofing materials are designed to be durable against the elements, they should not be subject to abrasive cleaning techniques like pressure washing. Softwashing was designed to provide a more thorough cleaning than pressure washing while protecting the integrity and longevity of exterior materials.
- Increased Protection for Your Roof – Softwashing not only eradicates the harmful bacteria currently growing on your roof, but it also helps slow its re-growth after every roof cleaning.
- Long-Lasting Results – Because softwashing kills harmful bacteria and provides a layer of protection for your roof, results last 4 to 6 times longer than pressure washing.
