Professional Roof Cleaning Wilmington, NC

      Here’s what homeowners need to know about roof cleaning.  Roof cleaning will  make your home healthier.  Roof cleaning will make your shingles last longer.  Roof cleaning will add value to your property.  Roof Cleaning will give your home or business more curb appeal.  Roof cleaning will lower your summertime energy costs.  Roof cleaning, if done properly will not damage your home or business.  That’s a lot for one single action to do, so let’s break it down, and, as my 12th grade English teacher said “expound” on it.  

     Before we get too deep, let’s cover some safety information.  Roof cleaning is DANGEROUS.  You are exposed to heights, slip & fall hazzards, chemicals, birds, bees, supervisory spouses and many other dangers.  We at Roof Stain Removers in beautiful Wilmington, NC urge you to consult your physician before attempting to clean your own roof.  If he/she gives you permission you should also run it by a shrink AND get a note from your mother.  If all of the above say it’s a good idea for you to clean your own roof go ahead, but don’t ask us how, ’cause we aren’t telling.  Seriously though, you should probably hire a professional roof cleaner who can deliver a profeassional roof cleaning while you are at work, or golfing, or fishing,or napping.  Certain things are better left to professionals who are trained and equipped to handle them.  Need an example?  OK, would you remove your own gall bladder?  Of course not, you’d have a doctor do it.    

     Another important point about roof cleaning is to never allow anyone to use a pressure washer on your roof.  Even if it damages nothing else, it will remove enormous amounts of ceramic granules from your shingles.  This is a bad thing because the granuled are your shingle’s first layer of protection from falling objects.  Now, on to how a professional roof cleaning will make your home healthier.  When you have black streaks on your roof, your are looking at the outer shell of the photoautotrophic cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma or G.M.  When the black streaks merge into one another and cover your roof, you’re looking at a large amount of G.M.  G.M.”s buddies are mold (not good for your innards), mildew (also not good for your innards), fungi (multiples funguses), and bacteria ( not ALL bacteria is bad, but lots of it IS).  Everytime it rains, all of these roof nasties get a bath.  The bath water runs down into your yard, driveway, front porch, etc. and gets tracked in whenever you, your spouse, child, dog, cat, ferret, mother-in-law, or even a robber enters your home.  From the floor inside your home, it’s not hard for these roof nasties to become airborne and take up residence inside your air ducts.  Sleep easy with that knowledge!  

     It’s up to you to break the cycle!  Call a professional roof cleaner and schedule a professional roof cleaning ASAP.  A professional roof cleaner will come equipped, trained, and ready to kill the uninvited invaders on your roof before they have an opportunity to enter your house!  The next time it rains, you can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing all the unhealthy invaders have been vanquished from your roof.  Next episode, more on what homeowners need to know about roof cleaning.
