What is the worst thing about your roof?
Debris from Trees
The shade provided by trees in your yard helps to reduce heat absorbed through your roof. They also protect your home against high winds and soil erosion. Trees also shed leaves, twigs, and needles that can get onto your roof and gutters. Small animals can get onto your roof from low-hanging branches, leading to droppings and other debris.
You can clean up any loose debris with a leaf blower, or a long-handled toothbrush. Avoid using a pressure washer if you decide to clean your roof by yourself. It can cause damage to the roofing surface. Rockledge roofing services can quickly clear away any debris from the roof and gutters. You can also hire an arborist in Rockledge to trim the branches of trees without causing damage.
Algae
Algae can cause streaks on roofing surfaces by producing a black substance.
The roof can be washed with a 1:1 bleach-and water solution. However, you will need to protect the landscaping surrounding it. Zinc strips can be installed along roof ridges to prevent algae-fighting zinc particles from being spread on the roof when it rains. OR, you can contact roof cleaning in Auckland to get the best rock ledge roof cleaning.
Moss
Moss on the roof can be considered an aesthetic enhancement by some. It can actually cause damage to the roof surface. Moist and shade-prone areas are ideal for moss growth.
You wouldn’t mind doing the same for your roof when you clean your house. You might be surprised at how many bacteria and dirt are in your roof’s roof shingles and how it can affect the lifespan and appearance of your roof.
