Chemical Cleaning vs. Pressure Washing.
In the past, the only way to clean roofs or exterior surfaces was to use highly pressurized water generated by gasoline-powered engines. There are serious disadvantages to this procedure:

Shingle Roofs: Pressure Washing removes the shingles granules, pre-maturly ages the shingles, and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

Tile Roofs: Pressure Washing removes paint or coatings, breaks tiles, creates leaks, and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

Cedar Shake Roofs: Pressure Washing causes the shakes to feather or split, and may cause roof leaks.

Exterior Buildings: Pressure Washing can strip the paint off your home and the cleaning doesn’t last.

Concrete Surfaces: Pressure Washing can etch concrete and the cleaning doesn’t last.
A chemical treatment ensures 100% mildew removal and will last four to six times longer than pressure washing.

What is being cleaned from your roof and exterior surface is not dirt! The blackness is actually a plant (mold, mildew, algae) that lands as a spore, germinates and then grows using the surface as a nutrient base. Just cleaning the surface is not the answer; treating the mildew as a pest, not as a stain, is the answer. Our chemicals are designed to eradicate organic, living organisms. The chemicals also destroy any spores and tiny root filament systems so there is not any chance of re-growth. This process leaves a sterile, uninhabited roof surface so our solution can remain behind to inhibit any airborne spores that land from germinating on the surface.

Pressure washing, even with chemical injection, cannot achieve the same results. Pressure washing cleans by just cutting the top growth of the algae; therefore spreading the spores and leaving behind the root filament system. The cleaning is temporary and causes the original algae to grow back thicker and heavier than before. Our chemicals kill all of the mildew; therefore it takes a lot more time for the spores to regenerate. This is why our cleanings last longer.

Our chemicals are applied with a “No Pressure”, 12-volt electric pump using only half the pressure of an ordinary garden hose. The major setback with pressure washing is the sheer force of thousands of pounds of pressure blasting the roof surface causing damage.

Pressure washing does not solve your roof cleaning needs. It does not kill the algae or its spores, nor does it inhibit the algae from growing back. Our exclusive method cleans the surface, eradicates all existing algae and spores and leaves behind a “spore block” residual fungicide barrier to inhibit any airborne spores from growing.
