Your Roofing Can Be More Energy Efficient with a Thorough Cleaning

Your Roofing Can Be More Energy Efficient with a Thorough Cleaning

Just like any homeowner, you don’t want to pay a fortune every month to heat or cool your home, so you’re always actively looking for ways to cut back on this expense. Maintaining the cleanliness of your roofing should become part of your strategy to reduce your energy consumption and reduce your home’s carbon footprint overall.

As you’ve probably noticed, algae can be a big issue on homes throughout our community. Not only does it look bad with its dark streaks, but if left untreated, it can drive up your energy bills. This algae, if enough of it accumulates, will absorb heat onto your roof, which will make your home that much warmer. This can be a problem in the summer when you retreat to your home to escape from the heat and humidity.

At first thought, you probably think standard powerwashing is enough to get rid of this unsightly algae. However, we want to caution you about this school of thought — pressure washing can damage your roofing’s surface, making it more likely to sustain damage from weather and other elements over time.

On the other hand, soft washing uses much lower pressure, and special cleaning solutions do a better job cleansing and protecting your roofing. This specialized process also keeps harmful contaminants from returning. The result is a beautiful, clean roofing that contributes to your home’s curb appeal!

No other same-day service can transform your roofing quite like this special cleaning process. Check your local area for a company that offers soft washing. They can come and clean your roofing, making it look like new again.
