Roof Cleaning Castle Cove

Posted on by

The current rain and wet weather may lead your roof to be covered in Lichen. Now is a great time to consider Roof cleaning In Castle Cove or any suburb in the North shore Northern beaches area.

Lichen can damage the roof and shorten its lifespan by retaining moisture, allowing water to seep in and physically break down the roof material. Lichen is a combination of algae and fungi. It thrives in moist shaded areas and can also reduce the aesthetic appeal of the property which can lead to lower prices or lack of rental appeal.

A combination of high rainfall, humidity, organic debris, shaded areas and limited sunlight can lead to lichen growth.

Cleaning roofs is crucial for maintaining the longevity and aesthetic appeal of a home. A clean roof not only enhances curb appeal but also protects against damage from algae, moss, and other debris. By removing these contaminants, you extend the lifespan of roofing materials, prevent costly repairs, and improve the overall health and safety of your home. 

Benefits of Roof Cleaning

  • Extended Lifespan:Cleaning removes contaminants that accelerate degradation of roofing materials, especially in areas with heavy exposure to rain or pollution. 
  • Improved Curb Appeal:A clean roof enhances the visual appeal of a property, making it more attractive to potential buyers or renters as well as potentially increasing the value of the property
  • Energy Efficiency:A clean roof allows heat-reflective coatings to work effectively thereby reducing energy costs and maintaining a comfortable home temperature. 
  • Cost Savings:Preventing damage and extending the lifespan of your roof allowing you to save thousands of dollars in repairs and replacements. 
  • Identifying Issues:Roof cleaning provides an opportunity to inspect the roof for any damage or issues that might not be visible from the ground.

House washing Northern Beaches

House washing and pressure cleaning has become allot easier with the addition of new equipment.

I now have a Pressure washer that is capable of 30 litres per minute flow. This is ideal for both pressure cleaning and house washing on the Northern Beaches.

Many people feel they should not use use a pressure washer for house washing. This is because they feel the high pressure can cause damage to the property. However this view is not always correct as it depends on the pressure and nozzles used.

I use a chemical injector to apply the house wash solution at low pressure. I also have a variety of nozzles on a Jrod that provides low pressure rinsing.

This is where the flow capacity comes in handy. I often use a normal hose to rinse off. This can be problematic sometimes when clients have very low tap pressure. This is where the pressure washer with 30 litres per minute flow can help. My machine runs a Honda engine renowned for reliability and good performance. It also has a buffer tank as some garden taps cannot keep up with the flow of the pump. This makes rinsing allot easier, more thorough and quicker.

I also have a 12v pump which can apply chemicals as well. This allows a batch mix to various strengths as needed. The chemical injection through the pressure washer only draws a maximum amount of chemicals. Sometime you need a stronger mix. For example if a roof has lichen growth this generally requires a stronger mix which the 12 volt pump can deliver.
