Roof Cleaning Sunshine Coast
Not only will it look better! It can also add value to your home especially if you are thinking of selling. The black staining on your roof is not just stains simply caused by the weather. They are living organisms (roof algae) called Gloeocaspa Magna.
If left unattended this algae can cause damage. When it rains, the algae can gradually spread down the roof adding more stains. A proper professional cleaning can not only remove the algae but can prevent it from returning.
What causes the discolouration on my roof
One of the biggest eye-sores and street appeal killers is roof algae. Roof algae appear as black stains on your roof surface. It can easily take away from the beauty of an otherwise immaculate-looking home. So what can be done?
You can clean your roof and restore it to close to its original condition. According to statistics, your roof can account for 40% of your home’s street appeal, so it makes sense to have your roof look brand new again for just a fraction of the cost of a restoration or replacement.
Soft wash roof cleaning vs high-pressure roof cleaning
There are two different ways to clean roofs: soft wash or pressure wash. High pressure roof cleaning uses pressure to clean and soft washing softwash roof cleaning uses chemicals followed by rinsing. Both methods work.
However soft washing doesn’t remove all the heavier stains. If your roof is only slightly dirty but you still want to improve its appearance then soft washing will work, however, if your roof hasn’t been cleaned for a few years and the roof is heavily soiled and stained then we would recommend having it pressure washed to return it to its former glory. Done correctly there is no risk of damage to your roof surface.
Other areas of your property to think about
Exterior walls of the house:
The exterior walls of your home should also be washed regularly to prevent the build-up of algae and mould
Driveways:
Over time, driveways become dirty, stained, and covered in a buildup of mould that makes them look unsightly and slippery. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary which is where our pressure cleaning service comes in.
Walkways and pathways:
Just like the driveway, these areas become dirty and covered in dirt and mould which can lead to the risk of slipping. We recommend cleaning these areas at the same time as the driveway to keep everything looking clean.
Patios and decks:
Patios and decks can become dirty and stained from exposure to the elements and regular use. Pressure cleaning is a great way to remove dirt, grime and mould to leave the surface looking its best.
If you have a pool, the pool deck and surrounding areas can become dirty and slippery, posing a safety hazard. Pressure cleaning is an effective way to remove dirt and algae and to improve the safety of the area.
