I am sure you have seen the houses or buildings that just look sad. They may have dark or black streaks, possibly some green mixed in. Some of these structures also may have discolored roofs. Oftentimes, the roof discoloration is ignored. Do not ignore roof discoloration. Roof discoloration is often caused by environmental forces such as dirt, debris, and decaying plant materials that have been allowed to remain on the surface. Once the decay process begins, various acids are formed. These acids begin to eat through the roof’s surface. This will create holes that eventually will allow water to seep through. Once this water begins to seep under your roof, the expensive damage begins. Most roof leaks can go undetected for months. This is because holes in the roof typically start out as a microscopic hole that only lets a few water droplets in. It only takes a few droplets of water to begin mold growth. The stains that you see on the outside of the building are growth from mold, mildew, algae, and decaying plant material. Depending on what building material is used will determine the proper cleaning method for your roof. 

Most people will attempt the DIY method. Picture this: Saturday morning, and you want to wash your roof. You have decided that you are going to just do it yourself. You have bought the chemicals that you think are the best ones to use. Now, you have to drag out the ladder, HOPE it is tall enough to reach, and begin the climb up to your roof. You will have to either develop a system for getting your equipment to the roof with you or carry it all up by hand. Now, it’s a couple of hours later, and you have not started the roof washing process. So you turn on the pressure washer. However, do you know the proper PSI to use? More importantly, are you familiar enough with a pressure washer to use the proper PSI and NOT lose your balance and fall? Yearly, thousands of people are severely injured because they chose to use the DIY method for services when they should have called a professional.
