Why Do You Need Your Roof Cleaned?

Owning a home is a rewarding experience, but it comes with its fair share of maintenance tasks—some obvious, others less so. Among the often-overlooked areas is the roof, which many homeowners neglect until visible damage occurs.

Regular roof cleaning is not just about improving your home’s curb appeal; it’s a vital step in preventing costly repairs or premature roof replacements. Here’s why keeping your roof clean is so important:

1. Prevent Damage from Algae and Moss

While a dirty roof may seem harmless, it can become a breeding ground for algae, moss, and lichens. These organisms can cause significant damage over time, breaking down roofing materials and compromising your roof’s structural integrity.

2. Improve Curb Appeal

A clean roof dramatically improves the appearance of your home. Black streaks, green moss, and dirt can make your house look older and poorly maintained. Washing your roof restores its original color and enhances your property’s overall aesthetic.

3. Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan

Contaminants like algae and lichens feed on roofing materials, such as the limestone in shingles. Over time, this weakens the roof and leads to costly repairs or replacements. Regular cleaning removes these harmful elements, helping your roof last longer.

4. Save Money on Emergency Repairs

Neglecting your roof can lead to leaks, water damage, and structural issues that are expensive to fix. Routine cleaning is a simple, cost-effective way to avoid these problems and protect your home.

The Hidden Enemy: Algae Growth

One of the most common, yet least recognized, threats to your roof is algae. This microscopic organism often starts as invisible spores that travel from neighboring rooftops. If your neighbors have black streaks or moss on their roofs, chances are your home is already at risk.

What Does Early Algae Growth Look Like?

In the beginning, algae growth may be invisible or appear as faint black streaks. Homeowners often mistake these streaks for dirt, aging, or general wear and tear, not realizing that they signal a more serious problem.

Early-stage algae growth can be removed with a single wash, preventing damage to your roof. Acting quickly at this stage is the best and most cost-effective way to protect your home.

When Algae Becomes a Bigger Problem

If left untreated, algae can progress into more advanced stages, leading to visible green mossy growth. Once this happens, the damage becomes more severe:

1. Moss Growth
   When algae are allowed to settle and proliferate, they pave the way for moss to grow. Moss thrives in damp environments and spreads across your roof, creating thick green patches.
2. Root Establishment
   As moss takes hold, its roots dig into your shingles, breaking down the materials and creating gaps. These gaps allow moisture to seep in, potentially leading to leaks, water damage, and costly repairs.
3. Structural Damage
   Over time, unchecked moss and algae growth can compromise your roof’s structural integrity. The longer the issue goes unaddressed, the more difficult and expensive it becomes to resolve.

Lichens: The Worst-Case Scenario

Lichens represent the most advanced and damaging stage of rooftop contamination. These organisms are a combination of algae and fungi that form a symbiotic relationship, creating a stubborn, crusty growth that adheres tightly to your roof.

How Lichens Damage Your Roof

• Feeding on Limestone: Many asphalt shingles contain a limestone filler, which lichens feed on. This weakens the shingles, making them more susceptible to environmental damage.
• Trapped Moisture: Lichens trap moisture against your roof, accelerating decay and increasing the likelihood of leaks.
• Difficult Removal: Lichens are extremely difficult to remove once they are established, requiring specialized cleaning techniques and extended care.

If you have lichens on your roof, it’s critical to act immediately. While removal is still possible, it will be a more intensive and costly process.

JOMO’s Roof Cleaning Process

At JOMO Pressure Wash, we use a safe and effective soft washing method to clean roofs. Unlike traditional power washing, which can damage roofing materials, soft washing relies on low-pressure water combined with professional-grade detergents to gently remove dirt, algae, moss, and other contaminants.

Our Roof Cleaning Steps

1. Inspection
   We begin by thoroughly inspecting your roof to assess its condition and identify the extent of algae, moss, or lichen growth.
2. Pre-Treatment
   Our team applies eco-friendly cleaning solutions to loosen dirt and kill algae, moss, and lichens. These detergents penetrate deep into the growth, ensuring complete removal.
3. Soft Washing
   Using low-pressure water, we carefully rinse away the cleaning solution along with all dirt, debris, and organic growth. This method is safe for all roofing materials and prevents damage to shingles.
4. Post-Treatment
   To inhibit future growth, we apply a preventative treatment that protects your roof from algae and moss spores.
5. Final Inspection
   Once the cleaning is complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure your roof looks its best and is free of contaminants.

Why Choose Soft Washing for Roof Cleaning?

Traditional power washing may seem like an effective way to clean your roof, but it can often do more harm than good. High-pressure water can strip shingles, cause granule loss, and even lead to leaks.

Soft washing, on the other hand, is specifically designed for delicate surfaces like roofs. Here’s why it’s the superior choice:

• Gentle on Materials: Soft washing uses low-pressure water, which is safe for shingles, tiles, and other roofing materials.
• Deeper Cleaning: The specialized detergents used in soft washing kill algae and moss at their roots, ensuring a more thorough clean.
• Prevents Damage: With no risk of high-pressure damage, soft washing preserves the integrity of your roof.
• Eco-Friendly: Our biodegradable cleaning solutions are safe for your home, landscaping, and the environment.
• Long-Lasting Results: By treating algae and moss at their source, soft washing keeps your roof cleaner for longer.

How Often Should You Clean Your Roof?

The frequency of roof cleaning depends on several factors, including your location, roof type, and surrounding environment. As a general rule, we recommend cleaning your roof every 1–3 years.

You May Need More Frequent Cleanings If:

• Your home is located in a humid or shaded area, which promotes moss and algae growth.
• Nearby trees drop leaves, branches, or sap onto your roof.
• You live in a neighborhood where other homes have visible algae or moss.
• Your roof is made of light-colored materials, which show stains more easily.
• You’re preparing your home for sale and want it to look its best.

Regular cleanings not only protect your roof but also enhance your home’s overall appearance and value.
