How regularly do you clean your tile roof? Tile roofs are very attractive and aesthetically pleasing, especially when cleaned regularly. Failure to clean tile roofs may result in the accumulation of moss, lichen, dust, dirt, algae, and other debris. Also, a neglected tile roof may eventually chip, crack, or break due to damage.
The best way to clean a tile roof is by hiring a home improvement services company. They have the skills and equipment needed to clean tile roofs. Although other do-it-yourself enthusiasts on the internet may encourage you to clean the roof by yourself, we do not recommend it. Without the appropriate protective equipment, you risk falling off your roof and sustaining fatal injuries.
Additionally, you could accidentally break off loose tiles during the cleaning process, doing more harm than good.
We offer roof cleaning services to residential and commercial buildings with roof tiles. Our cleaning techniques focus on specific factors to ensure that the client’s roof is properly cleaned and polished.
Moss:
Moss is one of the major reasons why tile roofs need to be cleaned regularly. The moss tends to act like a sponge and collect water into the tiles. This causes the tiles to soften up gradually and form cracks, which allow more moisture to seep through into the wooden deck. When we clean moss from concrete tile roofs, we use special roof cleaning brushes to clean each tile thoroughly.
We also use special pressure washing equipment so that we can apply the right pressure on the tiles without damaging or weakening them.
Bacteria And Debris:
Layers of dust, dirt, grime, and bacteria can dull the appearance of a concrete tile roof. Such filth is usually embedded into the concrete to be removed by brush cleaning only. In cases like these, we perform pressure washing to remove the layers from the surface of the roof tiles.
However, sometimes we get clients whose concrete tile roofs are more than 30 years old. Older roofs may break off tiles if power washed. We use alternative methods like brush cleaning alongside the use of chemicals and sprays to destroy the bacteria. If you need us to power wash your concrete tile roof, you will have to sign a waiver in case of any damage. Such things can occur to your roof while we are cleaning it. We will use light-pressured water to minimize the risk of damage.
