As a homeowner, maintaining your roof is always a top priority to prevent costly leaks and ensure your property is safe. While it’s natural to focus on identifying outward signs of damage, like holes or missing shingles, the cleanliness of your roofing system is just as important. Here are a few reasons why you should schedule professional roof cleaning with a power-washing company every year. 

What Are Some Problems Associated With Dirty Roofing?

1. Mold & Mildew Growth

While a bit of mold, mildew, or algae growth may appear harmless, spores are airborne and can quickly spread into your home. This can lead to health symptoms, including stuffy nose, wheezing, itchy eyes, and asthma. Roof cleaning will eliminate the dirt and excess moisture that allow mold to thrive.

2. Critters 

When your roof and gutter system are coated in dirt, debris, and dead leaves, unwanted visitors are far more likely to nest. Pests like spiders, ants, wasps, and silverfish will be attracted to the mess.

3. Decreased Visual Appeal

Whether you’re preparing to sell your home or hoping to make a great first impression, having your roof power-washed can boost your property’s curb appeal. After a cleaning session, the roofing system will look fresh and be more likely to attract the attention of potential buyers. Roofing materials free of dirt, mold, mildew, and critters will also have a longer life expectancy.
