Roof Cleaning

Why should you have your roof steam cleaned?

Having your roof steam cleaned is an effective and safe method to maintain the cleanliness and integrity of your roof. Here are a few reasons why you should have your roof steamed cleaned:

1. DEEP AND THOROUGH CLEANING – Steam cleaning is a highly efficient way to remove dirt, debris, moss, algae, and other contaminants that accumulate on your roof over time. The high temperature steam effectively dissolves and loosens these substances, ensuring a deep and thorough clean.

2. GENTLE ON YOUR ROOF – Unlike other aggressive cleaning methods, steam cleaning is gentle on your roof. It doesn’t involve the use of harsh chemicals or high-pressure water, which can potentially damage the surface of your roof. Steam cleaning ensures that your roof remains intact and free from any scratches, cracks, or other forms of damage.

3. EXTENDS THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR ROOF – Regular steam cleaning helps in prolonging the lifespan of your roof. By removing accumulated dirt and debris, it prevents the growth of the moss, algae, and other organic matter than can gradually deteriorate your roof’s surface. This preventative maintenance significantly reduces the need for costly repairs or premature replacement.

How do we steam clean your roof?

We will steam clean your roof using the DOFF system. This is state-of-the-art equipment which incorporates a unique combination of high-temperature steam and low-pressure water spray, ensuring effective yet gentle cleaning. Here’s how the DOFF system works:

1. HEAT TREATMENT: The DOFF system generates superheated steam at temperatures up to 150°c. This high temperature softens and dissolves stubborn grime, organic matter, and pollutants, making them easier to remove.

2. LOW PRESSURE WASH: The superheated steam is applied to the roof surface at low pressure using a specially designed nozzle. This controlled pressure ensures that the steam penetrates deeply into the roof material, effectively removing dirt, moss, algae, and other contaminants without causing any damage.

3. GENTLE AND EFFICIENT CLEANING: The combination of high-temperature steam and low-pressure water provides a gentle yet highly efficient cleaning process. It ensures that your roof is thoroughly cleaned, restoring its original appearance while preserving its structural integrity.

Why you shouldn’t have anyone pressure wash your roof?

Pressure washing may seem like a quick and easy solution for roof cleaning, but it can lead to severe damage and costly repairs. Here’s why you should avoid pressure washing your roof:

1. RISK OF DAMAGE: Pressure washing involves using high-pressure water jets to remove dirt and debris. This intense force can dislodge shingles, break tiles, or damage the protective coating of your roof. It may also force water beneath the surface, leading to leaks and water damage.

2. ALGAE AND SPORE SPREAD: Pressure washing can spread algae, moss, and their spores to other areas of your property. This can result in the rapid regrowth of these organisms, requiring more frequent cleaning and maintenance.

3. INEFFECTIVE ON STUBBORN STAINS: Pressure washing is often ineffective in completely removing stubborn stains, moss or algae. These may require additional treatments or harsh chemicals, which can further harm your roof.

Instead of taking the risk with pressure washing, choose our professional steam cleaning services for a safe and thorough roof cleaning experience.
