Houston Texas Roof Cleaning FAQs

A roof is a very vital part of your house. It protects you from rain, sun and other weather elements; it also reduces energy costs by preventing heat loss through convectional phenomenon! But what if there were an issue with its cleanliness? That's where Texas Pressure Washing comes into play - we offer high-quality residential cleaning services for both small businesses as well homeowners alike. Our experienced technicians use safe low pressure techniques (less than 150 psi) on all surfaces regardless whether they are steep angles or flat roofs so any type can be safely cleaned without leaving behind unwanted bird droppings which could lead to further problems suchs termites infestation

What are the black stains that form on your shingles?

The black stains that commonly build up on shingle roofs are not dirt or soot, but rather an algae. The fungus-like creature called Gloeocapsa Magma thrives in this environment and can cause shingles to discolor over time if left unchecked by appropriate measures taken against it - for example removing dead plants near your home which provide food sources for Cyanobacteria (the correct name of "fungus" associated with these organisms). These brownish patches will have tiny root systems winding their way into pores where they feed off organic material found within siding materials such as granules from damaged bricks; when you see dark spots around windowsills consider how often they may be getting wet!

Can You Pressure Wash A Roof?

The simple answer is no, you can not and should never attempt to pressure wash a shingle roof. It is debatable weather tile roofs should be pressure washed but pressure washing a shingle roof in many cases can void the warranty.

How To Clean A Shingle Roof?

Since pressure washing is not an option for cleaning shingles what other options are available for roof cleaning?

Soft washing is the best method for roof cleaning. Soft washing is done using an algicide mixture that removes the algae, moss, and lichen and the roof which helps keep it away for much longer. Soft washing is a safer, more efficient way of cleaning roofs and its's the only approved cleaning method by ARMA.

Roof cleaning is generally best left to professionals. Texas Pressure Washing has high grade equipment and trialing for safe roof cleaning.

Install Zinc Strips (Optional)
