Moss Removal VS. Roof CLEANING I get a LOT of calls from clients who want Moss removal done. Well...we are not a Moss Removal Company...we are a Professional ROOF CLEANING Company in Bellingham, Wa. What is the difference? Guys who do moss removal may be getting the moss off of your roof...but that is only 1/2 the story. While your roof may be moss free, it is still dirty and full of damaging organisms. The most predominant one is a Cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. GM, as it is known in the roof cleaning industry, is an ancient, blue/green Cyanobacteria which lives off of Calcium Carbonate. It eats the limestone which comprises a large percentage of the filler in the asphalt shingles which comprise 95% of the roofs in Whatcom, Skagit and Island counties. When GM feeds, it does what every other organism which eats does...it poops. In this case, GM poops out Nitrogen fertilizer. This fertilizer makes moss very very happy and the moss spores move in an rapidly colonize your roof. That is why the moss comes back so rapidly when all you have is your roof moss removed! In addition, the GM builds up layers on your roof and as it does so, the top layers die off and oxidize, staining your roof black. Now you know what causes all those black streaks on your roof! GM can't be scraped off, brushed off, broomed off, picked off or even effectively power washed off...not that you should EVER let anybody do those destructive things to your roof! The powdered moss removal products do a poor job of removing it at best. The ONLY effective method of complete removal without causing damage to your shingles is to use the System that all top professional roof cleaning companies use...including us. This method involves spraying a cleaning solution which kills and safely removes the GM colonies from your roof. This solution then rapidly breaks down into water, oxygen and a bit of salt that are safely washed away. It thoroughly and effectively kills moss, algae, G.M. and Lichens. It removes the staining from the GM colonies, leaving your roof looking fresh, bright and clean. How much of a difference IS there between moss removal and Professional Roof Cleaning? No better example can be given than a small rental house we did off of Sunset Dr. here in Bellingham. The property had a "roof cleaning" done by a handyman service. In reality, all they did was to remove the moss on the main roof. We were called in by the property manager to consult on another matter and noticed how dingy the roof looked. When the property manager told me she had it cleaned...we asked her to allow us to show her what a true, proper cleaning actually looked like. Here are the results. Before, the roof has no moss, but it is dingy and dirty with a bunch of algae and G.M. stains.... Then...we cleaned it. Same house, same day... The difference is pretty stunning! Now the roof is properly CLEAN! AND YES...WE GET RID OF THE MOSS TOO! Long Lasting Results Does a professional roof cleaning cost more? NO! While the initial Price can a bit higher...though not always...your long term COSTS are lower. What do I mean by this? Simple, because we remove ALL the organisms off your roof, including the GM that is sitting there excreting fertilizer, it takes much longer for the organisms to re-establish themselves on your roof. How much longer? We have some roofs we treated 4 years ago that are just now needing a touch up maintenance coating. This versus most moss removal companies who want you to re-treat every year. Your overall cost over the years is much lower with our system! In addition, we remove the G.M. which does slowly break down the shingle, thinning it out as it consumes the Limestone. Also, during the summer, the darkening of the roof causes your shingles to heat up more more than they otherwise would, causing them to dry out more and become brittle. This also makes your house hotter when it is hot and sunny out. Let's face it, a lot of us don't have AC here in the Pac Northwest. We think 80 degree is sweltering. So anything that causes the house to get hotter on our rare August 90 degree days is a bad thing! Removing the black layer on the roof may not make it Springtime 65 degree cool in your home, but it can't hurt! Call us today at 360-831-9494 to schedule your roof cleaning or see our website at http://www.deadmoss.com for more information. Remember...we are fully licensed, bonded and insured for your protection!

Many of the cedar roofs we are asked to inspect and clean show signs of neglect from lack of proper maintenance. One case in point is not keeping the valleys clean of debris. As I have said many times before, cedar on its own will not decay. It takes some form of moisture combined with different infestations to decay cedar. In the above photo example, this was a roof we cleaned in Omaha, Nebraska. As you can see in the photo the valleys were full of debris. Once we cleaned out the debris there was damage to the shakes and the underlining felt. The felt protects the roof and the shakes protect the felt. This section had to be replaced/repaired. Proper cedar roof maintenance requires the yearly cleaning of the roof valleys which could be done at the same time your gutters are cleaned. Cedar shakes need to stay dry in order to function properly and to reach their full potential life span. Also it is important to keep all tree cover cut back from the cedar roof. Tree cover provides too much shade and moisture which doesn’t allow the cedar roof to breathe and stay dry. Also a cedar roof should have a cleaning every six to eight years, which is subjective. Yearly maintenance of your cedar roof will go a long ways to extending the life span of your roof. This is just being pro-active and will save you from a premature roof replacement. So keep the valleys clean of debris, keep any tree cover cut back and have a routine cleaning schedule in place and your cedar roof will last decades.

Black Stains /Ugly Shingles Like most of the State of New Hampshire, Homeowners are wondering what the Blackstains that are all over ther roofs and on there neighbors roof. Well the black stain is an algea and it is called Gloeocapsa Magma and it feeds on the roof shingle and prematurly shortening the life expectancy of the roof. It is an airbourne algae and spreads from roof to roof and that is why it is on your roof or your neighbors roof. There is good news and bad news with this algea, and the bad news if left alone and not cleaned it will definatly shorten the life of your roof, the good news is that is can be clean. also feel free to visit to visit my web site for more info @ www.jacksoncontracting.net Safe Non-Pressure Roof Cleaning Process First thing to know is there is no need to pressure wash the roof, this will only damage the roof and the algea will not be removed . We apply a solution to treat the algea,moss and lichen and this solution is delivered at a non-pressure method. There is a big difference between a non-pressure application and low-pressure application and this is were homeowners can get lost. A non-pressure application is excatly that non-pressure (under 100psi) and that is the maxiumum allowed, anything over that will damage the roof. A low-pressure application is just that an application with pressure and how much is that pressure 400psi?,800psi?2000psi, and seeing how pressure washing equipment is capable of 3000-4000 psi , which is way beyound what is allowed. With our process there is no pressure and more importantly no rinsing, and this is because there is no need to rinse because the solution will not hurt the roof shingles. Our roof cleaning process yields same day results on algea, moss or lichen will fall of soon after that. For a Free Roof Cleaning Estimate Contact Brian C.

Thompson Roof Cleaning and Power Washing LLC Spring Lake Roof Cleaning Services 07762 (877) 420-WASH or (732) 726-9261 Spring Lake NJ Exterior Soft Washing We do not use a pressure washer to clean roofs! We rarely ever need to step on the roof. We clean roofs by spraying on a proprietary wet foam. The detergent we use has 1 part sodium hypochlorite (bleach) which is used to kill moss, algae, and lichen. The detergent is left to soak in and kill these organisms at the root. Sodium hypochlorite is the product use by all local municipalities. It is added to our drinking water to keep it free of bacteria and viruses. Naturally its a lower amount than is used on a roof, but our point is that it is safe yet effective in neutralizing mold and mildew. Roof cleaning in Spring Lake is a fairly new service. These stains are the result of limestone that the roof manufacturer started adding to the shingle roughly 20 years ago. Soft washing a roof plays no part in dislodging roofing granules. Our soap is applied with small battery operated 12 volt agriculture sprayers. We cover and rinse all landscape and any run off is collected at the gutter leader Soft Power Washing Service Spring Lake NJ We have specifically calibrated detergents for every surface. We also soft wash sidings such as vinyl, stucco, cedar and even painted surfaces. We also soft wash cement, pool decks, vinyl fences, gutter whitening and more. All of our equipment is calibrated to soft wash. Most stains are organic mold. Our detergents dissolve this mold so afterwards it's just a matter of heavy rinsing.

What do you guys think of the new design? We designed this with simplicity in mind. There is no need to adjust anything; just slip it into any 6 foot truck box and away you go. It is also the most light-weight skid in the industry. We all know that the chemicals weigh enough by themselves. The best feature about this skid is the fact that is it a 100% closed system. It has an integrated 3/4" draw hose to pull the chemical right from the drum on the ground without the need for a secondary pump or fill station. Also, with the new Basket Strainer, you are able to reuse any run-off; lowering your material costs. -

Thompson Roof Cleaning and Power Washing LLC Soft-Wash Roof Cleaning and Power Washing Services Monmouth County New Jersey (877) 420-WASH Roof Cleaning Services Monmouth County NJ Power Washing Service (877) 420-WASH Roof cleaning is not a "power washing" job. Your roof shingle manufacturer has strict guidelines for proper roof maintenance. Check the website of your roof shingle manufacturer for proper cleaning instructions. We follow all recommended methods and will never use a pressure washer to clean any type of roof shingles including cedar and slate. Roofs are cleaned using a proprietary detergent which kills and sterilizes roof moss, mold and algae. Moss develops a root system into the roofing shingle. Moss and other roof staining spread through airborne spores. The growth appears on the shady sides of the roof. Trees do not create the staining but they can provide the shade that allows the spores to take hold. Spores have been landing on roofs the day it's installed. Yet it can take 5-25 years become visible from ground level. These airborne spores do not communicate to land on one side or the other. They land everywhere, and since the food source for the growth is the limestone in the roofing shingle your roof has essentially become an "all you can buffet". All surfaces can be safely soft-washed including cedar and slate roofs, vinyl siding, vinyl fencing, trex and composite decking, stucco, cedar shakes and even painted surfaces. Do your homework and you will easily find our company top rated roof cleaning and power washing contractor for New Jersey.

Bridgewater NJ Roof Cleaning Services | 08807 Power Washing
NJ Roof Cleaners posted a blog entry in NJ Roof Cleaners' Blog
Thompson Roof Cleaning & Power Washing Serving Somerset County Bridgewater New Jersey Soft-Power Washing Services Professional Roof Cleaning (877) 420-WASH or (732) 726-9261 3125 Woodbridge Ave Edison NJ Cleaning a Roof: Why & How A roof is most likely the most expensive part of the home. A roof should never be power washed! The roof is infested like weeds in a sidewalk. To insure the weed permanently disappears it must either be removed from the root or destroyed with a weed killer. But roofs are much more delicate than a cement sidewalk. Moss and other growth develop a root system into the shingle. If removed forcibly it can leave scars where it was attached. Our process works by allowing our manufacturer approved roofing detergent kill and sterilize the shingle. Our detergent contains an amount of sodium hypochlorite. This is the product used to sterilize swimming water in pools. It is safe when used properly and 100% compatible to the shingle yet completely removes moss, algae, black staining and streaks from mold, lichen, mildew, allergens and other organic pollutants. If you saw a video of someone using a machine on a roof that looks like a floor buffer, please know that this process is power washing on a roof. That device is hooked to a hose that runs to a pressure washer that is not shown in the video. The pressure on any roof should not exceed the pressure of a household spigot. GAF, maker of the popular Timberline shingle, has within their website to confirm the proper cleaning solution. Why is Soft-Washing Superior? There is a proper detergent for each specific stain. There are organic stains like moss, mold and mildew. There are also chemical reaction stains like rust or oxidation. Would it really make sense to blast away each surface? Learn more about roof cleaning and soft-washing in our VIDEO. Call us today and get a free estimate. Visit our home page at http://www.powerwashing-newjersey.com/. We service Bridgewater New Jersey and other surrounding Somerset County towns such as Warren, Martinsville, Far Hills, Bedminster, Basking Ridge, Greenbrook, Boundbrook, Somerset, Franklin, Hillsboro, Skillman, Somerville, Branchburg, and more.This process will not remove rust or other chemical reaction stains. -

Benefits of cedar compared to common asphalt shingle are looks, durability, and insulation properties. A cedar shingle that is infested with mold and moss can hold moisture and begin to rot.

Our solution is a simple wet foam that contains a safe yet powerful sterilization properties that will kill and dissolve mold and kill moss permanently at the root.
