Can you pressure wash a roof? The short answer is no, but the reasons for this are manifold and it's good to be informed on your options before making a decision that could lead to serious problems for you and your home.   A roof is an expensive piece of real estate and you should take good care of it. Roof washing has benefits and drawbacks. In general, it's not a good idea to power wash your roof as it can lead to unsightly staining and other damage that may impair the integrity of the roof and will decrease the value of your home. 

Why You Shouldn’t Pressure Wash Your Roof

While there are several different types of roofs, they all share one thing in common: they're made of delicate materials that break down when exposed to too much moisture.   Roofs are made to handle the heaviest rainfalls. However, raindrops don’t behave the same way as a steady stream of pressurized water.    Pressure washing won't just harm the shingles; it may harm your roof's underlayment as well. The water pressure from a pressure washer has a good chance of working its way through the glue bond that holds the shingles together and seeping into and damaging the underlayer beneath your roof. In addition, pressure washers can easily cause damage to your gutters and create some leaks.

Soft Wash: The Perfect Alternative for Roof Washing

If done properly and safely, soft washing is just as effective as the high pressure method. It is extremely safe for your roof and there will be no damage to it. It will help if you hire professional roof washing services to avoid any risk of getting stains on your roof, which could happen when using traditional methods.   Soft washing is also much faster than other techniques used for roof cleaning. It's a great way of avoiding any high costs of roofing repairs that could come with traditional methods. Soft washing is the safest and most effective alternative for your roof washing needs.
