Do you use high pressure to clean roofs?

Understanding the Difference: Steam Cleaning vs. High Pressure

First, let’s clarify the distinction between steam cleaning and high-pressure cleaning:

Steam Cleaning: Steam cleaning involves using superheated water at a low pressure to clean surfaces. It’s a gentle yet highly effective method that relies on less pressure and steam to break down and remove dirt, mould, algae, and other contaminants from your roof.

High-Pressure Cleaning: High-pressure cleaning, on the other hand, uses extremely forceful jets of water at high pressure to clean surfaces. While it can be effective for some applications, it can also be too aggressive for certain materials, like roofing shingles.

Why We Choose Steam Cleaning for Roof Cleaning

At RedClean, our decision to use steam cleaning for roof cleaning is rooted in a commitment to safety, effectiveness, and the preservation of your roofing materials. Here’s why steam cleaning is our preferred method:

Gentle on Your Roof: Steam cleaning is gentle on roofing materials. It doesn’t subject them to the potential damage that high-pressure methods can cause. This means your roof stays structurally sound and visually appealing.

Effective at Removing Contaminants: The combination of heat and low-pressure steam effectively breaks down and removes a wide range of contaminants, including moss, algae, mould, and dirt. It’s a thorough and long-lasting cleaning solution.

No Risk of Water Intrusion: High-pressure cleaning can force water under roofing materials, potentially causing leaks and other damage. Steam cleaning minimizes this risk, ensuring your roof’s protective barriers remain intact.

Eco-Friendly: Steam cleaning is an eco-friendly method that doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals or excessive water usage. It aligns with our commitment to environmentally responsible practices.

Preventing Future Growth: The heat from steam cleaning helps to kill off spores and microorganisms; combine that with treating the roof with DDAC 40% Biocide and our four-year no moss return guarantee. This means your roof stays cleaner for longer.

Aesthetic Benefits: Steam cleaning cleans your roof and leaves it looking refreshed and vibrant. It can enhance the curb appeal of your property.

The Versatility of Steam Cleaning

Steam cleaning isn’t just beneficial for cleaning roofs; it’s a versatile method that can be applied to various surfaces around your property. Here are some additional areas where we use steam cleaning:

Paths and Driveways: Steam cleaning can effectively remove stubborn stains, grease, and dirt from concrete surfaces, leaving them looking like new.

Exterior Walls: Whether your walls are made of siding, stucco, or brick, steam cleaning can safely remove dirt, algae, and mould, revitalizing the appearance of your home.

Patios and Decks: Steam cleaning, including wooden decks and stone patios, is excellent for outdoor spaces. It can remove built-up grime and algae, making these areas safe and visually appealing.

Gutters and Downspouts: Steam cleaning can help clear debris from gutters and downspouts, ensuring proper drainage and preventing water damage.
