Roof Cleaning

Introduction

Cleaning your roof is about more than just appearances—it’s an essential step in protecting your home’s structural integrity and extending the life of your roof. Regular cleaning helps prevent water damage, removes debris, and ensures your roof functions as intended. In the Pacific Northwest, where moss and heavy rains are common, a clean roof is your first line of defense against costly repairs.

Gutter & Downspout Clearing

Gutters and downspouts are crucial for directing rainwater away from your home. When they’re clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris, water can overflow and pool around your foundation, causing serious damage. Additionally, clogged gutters can back up, allowing water to seep under your shingles or into your fascia boards. Regular gutter and downspout clearing:

• Ensures proper water drainage.
• Prevents leaks and foundation issues.
• Reduces roof rot and sagging.

Moss Cleaning

Moss thrives in the damp, shaded conditions typical of the Pacific Northwest. While it might seem harmless, moss growth can quickly damage your roof. Moss holds moisture against the surface of your shingles, causing them to deteriorate over time. The root-like structures of moss can lift shingles, creating entry points for water. Moss cleaning:

• Removes damaging moss buildup
• Prevents shingle deterioration and leaks.
• Keeps your roof visually appealing.

Moss Treatment

Moss Treatment

While moss cleaning removes existing growth, moss treatment is the proactive step that keeps it from coming back. Specialized treatments are applied to the roof to kill moss spores and create a barrier that prevents regrowth. This is especially important in regions with high humidity and persistent shade

• Stops moss before it starts.
• Protects shingles from moss regrowth.
• Reduces future cleaning needs.
