Red Clay Tile Roof Washing
Roof Cleaning to Battle Algae Growth in St. Petersburg
Spanish tile and red tile roofs all around St. Petersburg have one thing in common. Black algae. This algae growth only grows worse each year if left alone. While it is a natural process occurring where bacteria cause the algae to form and spread, tile roofs made with colored concrete can cause granulation of the tile’s surface. There is no damage caused by algae, other than curb appeal, for tile roofing made of real clay. Black streaks or blackened roofs certainly don’t scream of pride or ‘buy me’ when listed for sale. Let’s take a closer look at why roof pressure washing is perfect in battling algae growth on roofs.
Roof Pressure Washing
Pressure washing, as you hopefully already know, is not a technique used to clean the roof of your home. Black Algae removal on roof tiles is commonly performed by no-pressure cleaning techniques known as ‘soft washing’. Spanish tile roof cleaning and red tile roof cleaning can be completed effectively with a low-pressure roof washing system. For starters, a true low-pressure wash will not harm the roof tiles in otherwise fair to good condition. Secondly, most low-pressure washing companies will also use safer roof solution cleaner. Forget the adage that a 50-50 mixture of bleach must be used. This is false. Bleach is toxic for your plants, animals, and anyone nearby. Non-toxic, plant and naturally based cleaning products are more prevalent now, and minimal efforts are required to protect existing landscaping. That’s not to say bleach isn’t a part of the solution, but far, far from 50/50 mix.
