Roof Washing Michigan


A couple of different methods used for cleaning roof’s here in West Michigan.

You decide which is best for your shingles.



1.     This method involves the use of an aluminum "rinsing disc" also know as a "surface cleaner", designed to be used on hard surfaces. This device is connected to a pressure washing unit which engages up to twelve rotating high pressure water jets. Not only can this method void your shingle warranty, but it can also permanently damage the shingles by washing away the granules.

This method will temporarily remove many types of growth, but it will not completely eradicate it. Most generally, the bacteria will begin to recolonize within six to eight months.



2.     This method involves the use of a "water broom" also know as a "pitch witch". This device is connected to a pressure washing unit which engages up to eight high pressure jets that are aimed directly at the roofs surface. Not only can this method void your shingle warranty, but it can also permanently damage the shingles by washing away the granules.

This method will temporarily remove many types of growth, but it will not completely eradicate it. Most generally, the bacteria will begin to recolonize within six to eight months.


 

       3.  This method involves the use of a pressure washer and a wand.
              This method is by far the worst way to clean a roof. The pressure that comes            
               out the end of the wand can do significant damage to shingles.





4.     Our process involves the use of a Certified "Soft-Wash" System that is recommended by all roofing material manufacturers, including the (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association).

Our system is designed to deeply penetrate each shingle; completely eradicating all bacteria on contact. This method does not utilize high-pressure or scrubbing of any kind. We guarantee our system will not damage your roof or anything on your property.
