Moss, lichen, and algae grow quickly on roofs in Melbourne, particularly during colder and rainier months. Certain roof materials, such as asphalt shingles, clay tiles, concrete tiles, and textured metal tiles, can retain moisture or support the build-up of grime, making them especially susceptible to this growth. Roofs with poor drainage or shaded by overhanging trees are also particularly vulnerable.
If left unchecked, this build-up can obstruct watercourses on roof tiles, particularly terracotta tiles (one of the more common tiles used in Melbourne), leading to water penetration and potential internal damage. Routine cleaning not only prevents these issues but also significantly improves the appearance of your home.
Soft pressure cleans are generally recommended when possible. They not only lead to cleaner roofs, but keeps your roofs healthy and undamaged. High pressure cleans are faster and can get the job done, however, they can damage the roof and may result to the contaminants growing back quicker. That said, soft cleans uses chemicals which are generally less eco-friendly and may damage surrounding plants plus they are slow and inefficient.
A hard pressure wash is much more eco-friendly as it just uses washes to wash off the contanminants. It’s a faster job but can damage your tiles.
At Roof Leak Repair Melbourne, we clean your roofs with a 4,000psi high pressure cleaner and replace all damaged roof tiles. At the end of the clean, we’ll apply an anti-fungal spray to kill the contaminants which ensures your roof is protected for up to 18 months.
For those who don’t mind a higher charge for a softer clean, we are happy to do this for you too.
A roof gutter clean will also be part of our service. We want our clients to be safe and get 100% satisfaction, cleaning the roof without completing the gutter may still result in a roof leak from a clogged gutter, which may lead to water entering the roof from the edges.
Thanks to Jim and his team for fixing our roofs. Prompt response and excellent customer service, can’t recommend them enough if you need your roof fixed properly!
