Roof Cleaning and Soft-Washing Bergen County N.J.


Never Pressure Wash A Roof!!! Please don't let anyone talk you into pressure washing your roof, even if they claim it's low pressure. Ask your roof shingle manufacturer what the recommended cleaning procedure is. They will most likely tell you to use a soap that has bleach. Is bleach safe? Will it kill the surrounding landscape?

First, let's look at the organisms that are staining the roof. There are a combination of organisms that create staining on a roof. Black staining is a bacteria that is commonly mistaken for algae. The bacteria, known as gloeocapsa magma, is a very hardy strand of bacteria that can feed on the limestone in the roofing shingle. It can live for long periods of time without water due to the UV repellent shell it develops for protection. If you were to put the staining under a microscope you will see that it is actually green.

Pressure washing does not kill the bacteria. Our detergent is calibrated specifically to melt the outer shell and kill the bacteria inside. Through our complete sterilization will this roof stay clean for an extended period of time.

These are the most common questions asked by our customers. Yes, the solution we spray has the ability to kill landscape. If it was plant friendly it wouldn't work on the organisms that are staining your roof. Landscape can be protected 3 ways: keeping the landscape wet, covering the landscape, and bagging all of the gutters to collect the runoff.

"Bleach" is sodium hypochlorite. Look at the side of a bleach bottle, it should label this as the active ingredient. Sodium hypochlorite is truly a biodegradable product. Chlorine is a gas. It evaporates quickly. If you pour it bleach outside and come back tomorrow you will find nothing but salt. Sodium hypochlorite is also what is used in swimming pools. But the pool guys call it "pool shock". The local municipalities treat our drinking water with sodium hypochlorite.

Roof Moss Removal Bergen County NJ

In order for a roof to stay clean for an extended period of time, it must be fully sterilized. If any mold spores are left behind it will quickly regenerate. This also applies to moss and lichens. Many times moss or lichens can be found more on the northern exposures of the roof. These areas will retain more moisture allowing the moss and lichens to grow faster. Most of the spores for moss and lichens travel by air. When they land on the roof, they don't choose where to land. They land everywhere equally. So, to insure a fully sterilized roof, it is always wise to treat the entire roofing area.

Most stains around the property are caused by living organisms. Some surfaces, such as cement or stucco, can harbor mold and mildew deep into the pours. Pressure washing these surfaces would crop the mold at the top leaving the root to regenerate. By pre-treating the surface with a disinfecting detergent the mold will die at the root. Bleach, or sodium hypochlorite, is a safe and truly biodegradable cleaning chemical. Sodium hypochlorite is used to treat pool water. Local municipalities also use it to treat our tap water.

This approach to the staining will help maintain a mold-free environment 4-6 times longer than using water alone. Water alone can create a perception of clean but you cannot see on a microscopic level the amount of mold and mildew spores that were left behind. This is why some surfaces seem to get dirty rather quickly and are aggressively cleaning the surfaces year after year. High pressure water deteriorates surfaces including cement.

Trex or composite decking can be damaged by using high pressure. If the stain is organic, it must be pre-treated. Same goes for vinyl fencing, stucco, painted surface, hardy board, and soft pool cement.
