Roof Cleaning Company in Richmond, Virgina

Routine cleaning is a crucial, yet often overlooked part in maxmizing the lifespan of your roof. Streaks often seen on a roof and mistaken as dirt, is more often than not, an organic growth called Gloeocapsa Magma. This is a bacteria that feeds off of the limestone granules in your shingles and causes them to breakdown prematurely.

Other, easier to spot roof contaminants include common lichen, and even moss. No matter which of these organic growths is plaguing your roof, careful removal is paramount to avoiding costly roof repairs and replacement. While pressure washing a shingle roof would cause more damage than the organics are doing on their own, a gentle process known as soft washing will clean and restore your roof without the risk of causing any more harm.
