We want our roof cleaned, but should we wait until spring?

Moss Removal: While scraping moss off a wet roof can be extremely difficult, we have alternative methods. Steam cleaning, for instance, can be effectively carried out even in rainy conditions.

Biocide Treatment: Rainy weather isn’t conducive to biocide treatments as the rain would wash it off the tiles. Moreover, when temperatures drop, the biocide can be ineffective. Our chemical supplier recommends 8 degrees as the cut-off point. But we have conducted our tests to see what we found. We found below 6 degrees Celsius, the effectiveness of biocides diminishes. That’s why we carefully pick our days for this treatment.

The Ideal Temperature for Roof Cleaning: While extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can affect roof cleaning methods, there’s a sweet spot we aim for. Research suggests that the optimal temperature range for roof cleaning and applying treatments like biocides is between 6-25 degrees Celsius. This range ensures the biocides’ effectiveness and the roofing materials’ safety.

Adapting to Summer’s Heat: Just as we navigate winter’s chill, summer’s heat poses challenges. A roof can become too hot, affecting the cleaning process and the efficacy of specific treatments. In these cases, we adjust our schedule to apply biocide during cooler hours, ensuring quality.
