What are the benefits of cleaning your roof?
Here are 3 benefits of pressure washing your roof:
- Ensure the Health of the People Inside:
Pressure washing your roof can have a significant impact on the health of the people who live inside your home. When a roof is neglected, the mold and algae growth on it can become excessive, and spread from your roof and into the attic area. This can raise health concerns by causing allergies to the people living there. - Increased Roof Longevity:
Pressure washing a roof helps prolong its lifespan and preserve its shingles or tiles. Moss and algae have a tendency to build up as years go by, and if they are not removed regularly, they can eat away the base of the shingles causing severe damage to the foundation, leaving your roof to rot and you having to replace them. The normal lifespan of a shingle roof is around 25 years, however, it might not last that long with the invasion of these organisms, as they can reduce its life by as many as 10-15 years. - Prevent rodent infestation:
When a roof is left dirty for too long, it can develop cracks that allow rodents to get into your home.
