Why Clean Your Roof At All?
In Florida, many homeowners’ associations and even some municipalities require periodic cleaning of roofs. However, the damage caused by most traditional cleaning methods like pressure cleaning and harsh chemicals (chlorine bleach is one) becomes a problem that demands a different solution. Yes, these “traditional” roof-cleaning methods are relatively safe and effective, but they can – and often do – cut the life of a typical Florida roof from 25-30 years to 12-15 years. Plus, a compromised roof increases the chance of roof leaks and costly repairs.
