Whether in the scenic township of Middletown, NJ, or anywhere else in the country, a crucial aspect of preserving a property’s appeal and structural integrity lies in maintaining a clean and robust roof.
The Significance of Roof Cleaning:
The roof, often overlooked, is a vital component of any structure. Over time, environmental factors such as dirt, debris, mold, algae, and even air pollutants accumulate, leading to more than just aesthetic concerns. Untreated buildup can compromise the roof’s structural integrity, resulting in expensive repairs or premature replacements.
There was a time when the idea of cleaning roofs was virtually nonexistent. However, this service has emerged relatively recently, and the underlying concerns regarding roof cleaning trace back to the 1970s. The oil embargos during that era had far-reaching effects on various aspects of the oil markets, including asphalt shingle roofs.
In response, roof manufacturers sought a different filler material for shingles that could both endure the elements and remain cost-effective. Crushed limestone emerged as a viable option and was incorporated as a filler material. This addition, combined with moisture, inadvertently created an environment conducive to the growth of moss and algae.
It typically takes an average of 6 to 8 years for the combination of moisture and limestone to begin displaying signs of algae growth on these new shingles (indeed, roofs began displaying stains as early as the 1980s). For roofs situated in areas with limited sunlight and surrounded by numerous trees that trap moisture, the onset of such growth can occur even sooner.
Bottom line: roofs need to be cleaned, especially if you live in humid climates, like NJ. Fortunately, our roof cleaning services will not only enhance your home's visual appeal but also safeguard your investment by prolonging the roof's life span!
Innovative Techniques with an Eco-Friendly Focus:
At Thompson Power Washing, we take immense pride in employing state-of-the-art techniques that prioritize both your roof’s integrity and the environment’s health. Our team employs gentle washing methods designed to ensure comprehensive cleansing without causing any harm to your roof. Our approach not only eradicates dirt and grime but also eradicates the growth of detrimental organisms like mold and algae, effectively restoring your roof’s original radiance.
In light of modern sanitizing detergents, the non-pressure proves effective to remove algae, moss and/or lichen from any roof including asphalt shingle, cedar, slate, vinyl or any other type of roof. The detergents used work as a powerful weed killer. It’s designed to penetrate at the root and instantly kill the vegetation and of course ultimately leading to a stain free roof.
Removing moss, lichen or algae is not a high pressure wash job. Algae, moss and lichen are living organisms. The best approach to tackling the stains is to treat it like an infection. When we solve the underlying infection the roof can stay clean for an extended period of time. Pressure washing cannot achieve the level of sterilization required to keep an infected roof clean for any meaningful period of time.
Roof stains are becoming a big problem for roofs on much of the east coast as well as the rainy northwest regions. Limestone embedded in the roof granules provides a nutrient source for these organism. Pressure washing the shingle is not good for many reasons. High pressure can damage the roof by removing large amounts of roofing granules. Once these granules are stripped away the roof has lost all of its structure integrity.
As a leading Middletown NJ roof cleaning company, we guarantee a 100% fully cleaned & sterilized property without using unsafe chemicals. We don't use toxic trisodium phosphates. Instead, we utilize safe but effective "soft-washing" techniques that completely eradicate stains.
