At Under Pressure Power Washing & Exterior Maintenance, we believe in protecting what protects you and your family. Your roof is a crucial shield against the elements, but it's often the most neglected part of your home. Over time, it can become a breeding ground for unsightly organic growth like algae, moss, and lichen.
Washing your roof isn't just about curb appeal—though it will certainly make your home stand out from the neighbors. It also provides significant benefits, including extending the lifespan of your shingles and preventing damage caused by these destructive growths.
We use a safe and effective soft wash process to clean your roof. Unlike high-pressure methods that can damage your shingles, soft washing applies a gentle, low-pressure mix of specialized cleaning solutions. This solution not only removes existing stains and growth but also sanitizes the surface to prevent regrowth.
Our team takes professionalism and attention to detail seriously. We meticulously prepare the area, protecting your landscaping and other parts of your home, and we double-check our work to ensure a perfect, long-lasting clean.
Extends Roof Lifespan: Algae, moss, lichen, and other organic growths trap moisture and can cause your shingles or tiles to deteriorate prematurely. These organisms can lift shingles, causing them to break down and leading to leaks. Removing them helps your roof last for its intended lifespan, which can be decades.
Prevents Damage and Costly Repairs: The buildup of moss, algae, and other debris can lead to significant damage. Moss can grow under and lift shingles, and standing water from clogged gutters or trapped moisture can lead to rot and structural damage. Regular cleaning can help you spot minor issues early, preventing them from becoming major, expensive repairs or a full roof replacement.
Enhances Curb Appeal and Property Value: A dirty, streaky, or moss-covered roof can make a house look old and neglected, significantly detracting from its curb appeal. A clean roof gives your home a fresh, well-maintained appearance, which is particularly important if you are planning to sell. It can make your home more attractive to potential buyers and even increase its market value.
Maintains Health and Safety: The same molds and mildews that grow on your roof can release spores into the air. These can affect indoor air quality, particularly if they are spread through your home's ventilation system, and can pose health risks for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues.
Prevents Pest Infestations: Debris and organic growths on your roof can create a habitat for pests like insects, birds, and rodents. Keeping your roof clean removes these potential nesting and feeding areas, helping to prevent pest infestations from getting into your home.
