Revitalize Your Akron Home with Professional Roof Cleaning Services
Improve the look of your roof and extend its lifespan
Roofs are the second largest part of the outside of a home, the first being the home siding. Being that large means your roof stands out more - debris, moss, and mold included. Having your roof pressure washed is a great way to improve the look of your home and increase the lifespan of your rooftop. Pressure washing when done by a professional is fast, safe, and if you go with JcPowerWashingAkron, it’s an affordable pressure washing service too!
Say Goodbye to Moss and Mildew
Why pressure washing for roof cleaning?
It does more than make your roof look marvelous
- Pressure washing removes pollen - helping those with allergies live a more healthy life
Headaches, sneezing, and itchy eyes are common during Akron's spring allergy season and regular pressure washing services remove the pollen, washing it down the drain and away. Enjoy the outdoors with less allergens residing on and around your home.
- Pressure washing removes organic growth
Moss is known for breaking apart shingles and eating into the wood structure below. Split shingles aren’t the only problem, this can let leaks into the home, shed, or building, damaging the wooden frame, the attic insulation, and perhaps making it way into living spaces. Black streaks, green algae, mildew and moss don’t stand a chance against our soft wash pressure washing. Removing organic growth with pressure washing is an excellent way to sterilize and sanitize your roof. After pressure washing, we spray your building with lasting roof treatments that will continually kill organic growth and leave your roof looking better than ever.
- Removing organics from your roof increases its lifespan
Because moss will split shingles, it reduces the lifespan of your roof. So, the shingles that should last 20 or more years, break down more quickly than they should in the presence of moss. Moss doesn't just look bad, it eats into shingles, which can lead to bigger issues down the line, like leaks. Pressure washing is a quick and easy way to remove moss and other organic growth to keep the lifespan of your rooftop the longest it can be.
- Pressure washing that is gentle on shingles
Roof cleaning with soft wash technology is done at low pressure (or even no pressure) with cleaning agents that lift dirt, cut into grime, and kill organic growth. Soft wash pressure washing is the best way to clean your asphalt roof shingles and prevent damage from happening to them.
What type of roof cleaning services do we provide in Akron, Ohio?
Akron's OH roofs are predominantly asphalt shingles and so we predominantly use a no-pressure or low-pressure soft wash that will not damage the delicate shingles.
But what is soft wash pressure washing??
In the most simple terms, it is pressure washing with no/low pressure. The more complex answer is that we use either different machines entirely (a machine more like a pump sprayer) or different nozzle attachments that reduce the pressure of the water coming out of our pressure washer to around 100-300 PSI. Or sometimes no pressure at all, which is similar to a shower of water from a garden hose. We let our mild cleaning agents sink deeply into your asphalt shingles so that dirt and moss easily detach and wash away, no pressure needed! We use a mixture of water + detergents that cause moss, mold, and stains to lift off the surface for easy removal. Some types of moss can take longer to detach and follow up services may be required for more stubborn mosses.
Metal Roof Cleaning:
Some homes have metal roofs and for this we can power wash (meaning we use heated water) at higher pressures to remove debris, stains, and potential growth. Metal rooftops, however, become very slippery when wet, and detergents only add to the risk of a slip and fall. So we power wash your roof from ladders, without setting foot on your metal roof to prevent as many hazards as possible, while relocating as often as needed to make sure that we get to every spot!
Eco-friendly power washing options -
Non-toxic for those with children, plants, and pets.
We have Eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning detergents available on request, that will not harm your plants, pets, or children but are still highly effective at removing organic growth on rooftops from mold, mildew, algae, and more. These products are oxygen-based and biodegrade quickly, meaning they also do not have long-acting chemical reactions.
Continual treatment against organic growth - we offer roof treatments, whether chemical or Eco-friendly, to prevent additional blooms for up to a year at a time. This treatment will stop mildew, mold, lichen, and algae from forming on the roof for a long span of time, and when done regularly, will completely stop its formation.
