Katonah’s Best Home Roof Washing Co.
When it comes to getting your Katonah residential roof washed, it is important to choose a company that specializes in home roof cleaning. Besides being critical to keeping your home dry, your roof also helps maintain your home’s temperature which affects your gas and electric bills.
So, when you want to remove black streaks, stains, mold, mildew, lichens or moss from your roof, the proper roof cleaning technique is critical to preserving your roof’s integrity. According to the roof manufacturers and roof washing best practices, the best way to wash your roof is using a soft-wash process.
The best roof washing companies, such as Westchester Power Washing, never use a pressure washing machine to get your roof cleaned. Instead, Westchester Power Washing uses a home soft-washing system to gently spray your roof with water that is mixed with a cleaning solution. Your roof is then bathed in this eco-friendly detergent. This allows the cleaning solution to kill mold spores while cleaning away the dirt and black streaks from your roof. The cleaning solution and water is then rinsed off your roof taking with it the mold spores, black streaks, dirt, mildew, and revealing a clean roof.
The soft roof washing technique is the safest and best way to clean your roof and siding. Never use high water pressure!
Using a pressure washing machine and high water pressure damages your roof and shingles. This will make your roof less efficient and also lead to having to replace your roof sooner.
In addition to soft washing being the proper way to get your roof cleaned, the same is true about your home siding. Never wash your siding with a pressure washing machine. A good pressure washing machine is capable of blasting water between 1000 and 4,0000 psi. This amount of pressure will destroy your roof shingles and dent and damage your siding.
High water pressure pushes water under your roof shingles and can damage the paper underneath, causing mold and mildew to grow and feed on your shingles thus making them inefficient and in need of replacement.
The damage to your siding is one negative effect of high water pressure. The other is caused by the water being forced behind the siding. Just like with your roof, mold spores develop, and bacteria begin to eat away at your walls.
Worse, the mold and mildew can then grow into your home and interior walls. Your family is now inhaling the mold and can suffer deadly respiratory consequences. Less dire but another factor is the financial cost. You would need to get between the walls and siding, replace the interior walls and insulation and have the affected areas thoroughly cleaned.
Even if you can afford the repairs, your health is never worth putting at risk. Again, soft wash your roof and siding, do not pressure wash.
