Thompson Roof Cleaning & Power Washing

Power washing a roof can cause long term damage and void the warranty of your roofing shingle. Let's approach this as an infection rather than a stain. Never pressure wash a roof! Pressure washing an asphalt roof shingle can damage the shingle and does not solve the problem. A dirty looking roof is most likely suffering from an infection of algae, moss and/or lichen. We must achieve a 100% kill ratio on every cell of algae and every root of moss. Anything less than a complete sterilization is an attempt in vein, like going against a doctors recommendation and taking less than a fully prescribed treatment of antibiotics.

Never pressure wash a roof! If you've ever cleaned out your gutters you may have noticed roofing granules inside them. If this amount of granules can dislodge naturally from just rain, imagine what even low pressure can do. We use a NON-Pressure roof cleaning system that completely eliminates algae, mold, mildew, moss, and lichen from you roof by using detergents approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA).

Solar panels can lose anywhere from 10%-20% of their power generating capabilities after the first year. From our observation a UV blocking film of dirt develops over the glass panels.
