Sometimes the algae, mould and lichen has been on the roof tiles for too long and too much damage has been done to the integrity of the roof tile itself. They may advise against soft washing the tiles as it will cause more damage to your property. That is why it is advisable to call us out on a regular basis to start a maintenance program with you. Soft wash is the most practical way of cleaning the mould, algae and lichen off your roof tiles. It is a gentle approach to a thorough cleaning of your roof tiles. Soft washing using no harsh chemical soaps and surfactants so will remove the mould, and organic matter without damaging or degrading your tile.
If the roof shingles are fragile, brittle, cracking, curled, the risk of serious damage to the roof during the removal of the mould, algae and lichen is much more likely. The roof may look cleaner, but its remaining life may be reduced by aggressive cleaning. Soft wash cleaning by Powerwash Queensland is a gentler cleaning method which will result in a longer life span for your roof tile.
While not all mould (fungi) pose a health danger, some are very harmful, especially for the older generation, younger children and people who suffer from asthma and respiratory problems. Mould spores, which are on your roof, can get inside your home, they can end up coming off the roof by the rain or wind and onto the driveway and walkways and are easily tracked inside by our pets and ourselves. There they can even be drawn into our air conditioning systems and dispersed around our homes embedding themselves on interior walls and ceilings bringing a whole new problem. Different mould species can have varying health effects, but it is important to remember that any excessive mould growth needs to be taken care of, regardless of the species. Any excessive mould growth can lead to increased allergies, toxicity, and house/building structural problems.
Furthermore, with the huge increase to our living expenses, you need to act fast to clean your roof. Not many people realise that mould, algae, lichen and other organic matter on a roof acts like a sponge; it absorbs the sun’s heat, which causes a rise in the temperature inside a home or building. This leads to a higher use of the air conditioner which generates a higher electricity bill.
Algae on our roofs are not just unsightly and can pose its own danger to us. If algae were to end up on our driveway or walkways then the ground can and does become slippery under foot. Powerwash Queensland with its soft wash non-pressure option can be the professional roof cleaning company that can get rid of the danger of mould, algae and lichen.
The black stains are also very likely to harbor a number of moulds or fungi. Unlike algae the fungi on our roofs lacks chlorophyll. They are unable to manufacture food from raw materials. So, it must get nutrition from some form of organic matter which is formed from the algae and mould. So, you can see it is important to act fast and have your roof cleaning performed by the Gold Coasts best soft wash roof cleaning company and stop the cycle of damage to your Queensland roof.
When you are choosing a soft washing company it is probably in your best interests to make sure they will do the job right the first time. You wouldn’t want someone to come and ruin your roof, would you? The best way to know if they are the right company to use is by looking at their reviews, asking for references and talking to other people who have used that same company before.
The last thing you want is the mould and algae eating away at your roof tilesp. This can also cause damage to your house. Holes may form in the roof of your house and then the problem will spread into the inside of your roof and further into your house which may cause water damage if it rains. So, make sure you are having your roof cleaned occasionally so this can be avoided.
