Roof Cleaning

Roof Cleaning ("Soft Wash")

Why clean your roof?

Your home is one of the biggest investments you can ever make, and your home's roof is one of its most essential features. Years of moss buildup, mold, and mildew can not only affect the appearance of your home, but can significantly reduce your roof's life expectancy. If your roof has too much dirt, soot, or organic matter it can negatively affect how much sunlight your roof can absorb and how much heat your home can absorb.

Buildup of moss, mildew, algae, and other organic growth will severely limit your roof's lifespan. Over time, the growth will deteriorate the shingles and cause leaks by trapped moisture within the organic growth.

About our soft wash method:

Soft wash roof cleaning is the only recommended method by the Asphalt Roof Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Our soft wash method ensures that all organic growth (mold, mildew, algae, etc), dirt, and other contaminates will be removed without possibility of damage. We use a solution of soaps and chemicals that will bring back the original color of the roof and protect it for years to come. If done every couple years, soft wash roof cleaning can extend the life of your roof by up to 15 years.

When should you pressure wash your roof?

NEVER! Not only will it be ineffective in providing enough solution strength to kill the organisms, but pressure washing can severely damage your roof. It will also invalidate any warranty you may have. And with roof features like chimneys, flashing, or skylights, high pressure water can damage the sealants on any one of those and create leaks.

Please, never pressure wash your roof. Call Harvey’s, your local York-based roof cleaning company, so we can assess your roof and get it cleaned the right way!
