Why You Should NOT Pressure Wash Shingle Roofs People often think if a roof can hold up to rains and storms, a pressure washer should be no problem. This, however, is far from the case. A pressure washer can quite literally tear through human skin. It is an extremely pressurized jet of water often used to remove debris from a surface. When it comes to shingles, this pressure can actually damage the shingles to the roof and result in the shingles becoming damaged, lifted or even removed entirely. On a lower setting you may avoid damage but it also probably won’t provide the results you are looking for. So How Exactly Do I Clean My Roof?
You may be wondering how should I clean my roof then? There are quite a few ways which include simply removing debris, spraying any mildew, mold or moss, and simply maintaining your roof properly. In many cases we see where someone is trying to “clean” their roof, it simply needs repairs or a complete replacement and no amount of cleaning is going to make the roof structurally sound like it needs to be.
