Why Soft Wash My Roof?

---

Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with cleaning solutions to remove dirt, mold, algae, and other contaminants. Unlike high-pressure washing, it prevents damage to shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials, which can be vulnerable to cracking, loosening, or erosion. 

Roofs often develop black streaks caused by algae (e.g., Gloeocapsa magma), as well as moss and lichen growth. Soft washing kills these organisms at the root, preventing regrowth and ensuring a longer-lasting clean. 

A clean roof improves curb appeal, making the home look well-maintained. This is especially beneficial if you’re planning to sell or rent your property.  

Algae, mold, and moss can deteriorate roofing materials over time. By removing these contaminants, soft washing helps protect the roof, potentially extending its lifespan and reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.  

Many soft wash systems use biodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, minimizing harm to plants, pets, and the environment. 

A dirty roof can absorb more heat due to the dark staining caused by algae and grime, increasing cooling costs in warmer months. Cleaning the roof can restore its reflective properties and improve energy efficiency, saving you up to 20% on your power bill. 

Regular soft washing is a cost-effective way to maintain your roof compared to neglecting it and facing premature repairs or replacement. 

• Signs of Algae, Moss, or Lichen: Black streaks, green patches, or white crusty growth.
• Before Major Events: If you’re hosting a gathering or planning to sell your home.
• Every Few Years: As part of routine maintenance, typically every 3–5 years depending on environmental conditions.
