What is roof softwashing?

A roof soft wash is a low-pressure cleaning process designed to safely remove black streaks, algae, moss, lichen, and other buildup from your roof without the risks that come with high-pressure washing. Instead of blasting the surface, soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions that kill organic growth at the source and help restore the roof’s appearance more gently and effectively. This method is commonly used on asphalt shingle roofs because it helps clean the roof while reducing the chance of unnecessary wear or damage that high pressure can cause.

Why softwash my roof?

Increase Your Roof Lifespan

Soft roof washing removes what Pennsylvania's harsh outdoor climate leaves behind. Your exterior takes a beating from rain, snow, and ice to UV rays and other pollutants that can greatly impact the lifecycle of your roof shingles. In fact, not cleaning your roof can shorten the lifespan of your shingles by as much as 25 years this is why your insurance company may require you to wash your roof. Many insurance companies will cancel your coverage or deem you ineligible for renewal if you fail to routinely wash your roof to remove dark streaks.

Safer than Pressure Washing

Soft washing is tough enough to combat these issues but safe enough for your lawn, landscape, and outdoor pets. Our cleaning agents make use of biodegradable chemicals to break down dirt, grime, bird dropping, and nest while also killing mold, mildew, moss and other bacteria on your roofing shingles and system leaving your roof clean and disinfected. Soft roof washing on a routine basis does more than roof cleaning it treats the issue on your roof that cause them.

Saves You Time

Roof cleaning is not only tricky but dangerous. Most homeowners are unfamiliar with the use of tools like ladders and pressure washers which has led to many unnecessary accidents. In addition, when roof washing is done incorrectly you can inadvertently lose your tiles or shingles.  When we wash your roof, you can trust that your roof is safely and effectively cleaned and rinsed so the solvents and surfactants do not dry on your tiles or shingles.

Removes Moss, Mold & Mildew
During Pennsylvania, rainy and humid season algae and botanical growths can quickly grow on your roof surface. This causes the material of your roof to become damp which may lead to rot. When rot occurs, mold follows. When left untreated mold can erode your shingles and spread onto the adjacent structures. In addition to mold that can grow on your roof you may also have moss


Roof Washing Q & A

What are those black streaks on my roof? 

The main bacteria that cause those “black-streaks” on your roofs are called Globocrats Magma, this bacterium as well as other bacteria, algae, molds, fungus, and lichen are one of the main causes of roofing material breakdown and decomposition. The lichen has a filament root system that will grow down into an asphalt shingle to feed and ultimately pull the aggregate granule layer off exposing the asphalt layer, therefore, starting a rapid deterioration. When you keep your roof thoroughly cleaned you eliminate these risks down to their root and maximize your shingle life for up to 20-25 years. The best preventive to all of this is soft washing. 

Is this process safe for my roof?

We use a softwash process that results in less pressure than a garden hose. If your roof can withstand rain, it will be fine during our service!

How do we Remove Moss From My Roof?

The best way to remove moss from your roof is with soft washing.  We can remove moss from cedar shakes, tiles, asphalt, metal, or composite shingled roofs. The reason you want to make sure to remove moss from your roof is that it will grow, pushing under the shingles, tiles, and shakes which leads to damaging your roof. Some of these damages such as holes and thin spots will eventually cause leaks. Removing moss from the roof is best left to a professional team that has the knowledge and equipment to clean your roof without causing any damages. When we remove moss from the roof, we are extremely careful to prevent damages through forced removal. Instead, any loose moss that does not detach we neutralized (kill) during our service. Weather will wash neutralized moss away naturally by saturating the remains repeatedly.
