Are there differences in the terms LOW pressure and NON pressure Roof Cleaning? Yes and No - Read On....

Are there differences in the terms LOW pressure and NON pressure? Yes and No - Read On....

Let this technical roof cleaning document clear the aire surrounding these terms.

Low Pressure, Non Pressure, Ultra Low Pressure are the same method generally, but to be clear, some do try to confuse the terms, mainly because those VENDORS that do sell oxygenated bleach and Sodium hydroxide will try and craftily intertwine this terminology to have those that don't know any better,BELIEVE, that their methods are like our non pressure methods.

They are not.

There are those that manufacture and distribute these OTHER "pressure required" methods and attempt to categorize them as LOW PRESSURE methods.

While Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Percarbonate, will be peddled as a roof cleaning solution, in fact, it is not, it , in fact can actually add to the roofs existing problems.

S. Hydroxide and S. Percarbonate (Oxygenated Bleach) requires a two step process.

1. Chemical Application

2. Pressurized Rinse to remove the suspended offending stains and streaks

Pressure, in any form, even garden hose pressures, will remove the ceramic granules from the asphalt or fiberglass substrate matting, thereby reducing the UV (ultraviolet) protection required to keep the shingle intact and repelling the ravages of the constant heat and UV abuse, day in and day out, of the sun's rays.

Once granules are removed in large numbers as with pressurized rinsing of older roofs while cleaning them, and petroleum oils are leached from the shingle roofing material, they do more quickly degrade and that opens up a pandoras box, leading to eventual underlayment wood sheathing damage and structural entrance of dreaded black molds, entering the dwelling, beginning thru the crawlspace or attic, and later moving throughout the house as "sick home syndrome"

We (American Roof Cleaners Association CERTIFIED Non Pressure Roof Cleaning Members) don't use any form of pressure what so ever, to remove the offending algae and other roof raiders, non pressure roof cleaners let the chemical cleaning mixture perform the process of killing, dislodging, suspending and eventually removing the offending Gloeocapsa Magma (blue-green algae, cyanobacteria) stains and discoloration and let mother nature naturally rinse the roof with rain over time to conserve ground (nonrenewable resources) H20 water.

The TRUE Non Pressure, Low Pressure Methods are just that NON PRESSURE or LOW Pressure meaning the ONLY pressure required is the pressures developed at the pump at ground level, to push the roof cleaning agent solution, up and thru the hose 100- 200' or more to get it up to the roof surface where it is then GENTLY sprayed, with usually less than regular municipal garden hose type pressures, onto the roofing material, in a fan pattern and allowed to dwell and work to kill all mold, mildew, algae, discoloration, streaks and stains.

ROOF CLEANING WARRANTIES: What consumers and contractors need to consider ?

2009-11-13T15:53:00.000-08:00

ROOF CLEANING WARRANTIES: What consumers and contractors should consider and, the information Homeowners need to know.

Roof Cleaning, the safe, non pressure removal of stains, streaks, algae, mold, mildew and moss has become a major epidemic and a growing concern in over 80% of the United States.

Many people ask me what kind of warranty do we offer and why? Because I have had some many ask us for our warranty verbiage and the reasons behind it I decided this article was overdue so I have written it.

Many people have warranties ranging from 6 months to 5 or more years, some offer valid arguments and have proprietary methods and treatments and formulations that all save the contractor who wrote them, can make sense of or validate.

Being in and around the construction and contracting business for MANY years, and having been a part of the growing roof cleaning industry for over 2 DECADES I have seen a lot change and much remain the same.

Below is my take, my view, my slant on the roof cleaning industry and the roof cleaners warranty. My views are my own so take all this information with a few grains of salt and do not take my word for it. I recommend you reach out and explore, ask questions for seasoned veterans in the exterior cleaning service industry and get as much real life, on the job roof cleaning training possible.

My Business, Roof Clean USA, offers this Warranty for Non Pressure Roof Cleaning.

Here it is.

ONE YEAR : on Algae stains.

It used to be more but then REAL LIFE happened. (have you ever had to re-evaluate a prior commitment or plan because it just did not make good economic dollars & SENSE before?

Case in Point....

We will gladly warranty 2 years and then subsequent years, but only if the customer buys our annual maintenance plan / program.

Why?

Benefits... and ...Real Value. We saw early on that the need nationwide for the truly professional roof cleaner was to offer a warranty that can actually be stood behind, Not worthless statements for warranties that will never be upheld because the companies that promised them are NO LONGER IN BUSINESS.

This shorter, VALID warranty means more than a extended warranty that has about a much chance as a PIPE DREAM in HELL of being honored by a new roof cleaning contractor that really does not know the roof cleaning ropes and has not been around in the industry long enough to know what to expect past his first year of cleaned roofs.
Value is only real, to both the CUSTOMER, and the Contract Cleaner, by keeping his/her roof looking its very best, LONG TERM and to our company, to keep us in the roof cleaning business so we can continue to proudly serve our roof cleaning customer base many years into the future.

"Go backs as I call them or RETURN VISITS" cost any service business far to much money and time and if you aren't fair to yourself and your customer base you will soon be out of business.

And because there are birds, squirrels, acorns, leaves, pine straw and a billion other contaminants that can find their way to the flat surface of a roof, there is no way I am putting my name by a 730 day CLEAN ROOF warranty. That would be the DEATH BELL of my business and probably yours to if you are offering this type of extended warranty without being compensated for it.

Way to many variables for me to feel comfortable. And, Honestly its just not FAIR.

Example in Point:

Cars get washed regularly. My local detail guy won't give me a warranty past the next rainy day.

Why should we give away, what we cannot control?

Atmospheric pollutants, Environmental fallout, SMOG, windblown dirt, all deposit on the roof top as it is a FLAT surface.

When you go to Best Buy and get a new laptop computer, they make you PAY for an EXTENDED warranty don't they?

Well, we are ALL conditioned to buy or at least get asked to buy those repair "plans"
so, why not get our customers in the habit of buying our Roof Maintenance Cleaning Treatment Plans?

Pest Control companies do it. We should ALL be doing it!

That way the customers roofs stay clean and we have residual income. If those BIG NAME PEST control companies can pull it off, why can't we?

We ARE the roof cleaners that keep America's roofs "PEST" free.

We our the professionals who extend roof life and build TRUE, real estate value, one CLEAN roof at a time.

Shouldn't we get PAID for this benefit to the real estate owner.

I VOTE YES!

The 10 steps to Algae, Moss and Lichen growth, what you can do to save your roof!

2009-10-22T12:24:00.000-07:00

When looking up at their roof, some Homeowners may ask:

What are those stains?
“Just what is that black streaking and discolorations making my roof look so unsightly and unappealing?”

Maybe you, as a residential or commercial property owner, are asking yourself the following questions:

“Why should I clean those stains off my roof?? Are they doing any real damage or is it just that they are not so attractive from a curb appeal standpoint?”The answer is yes on both accounts …

First, the black streaks on your roof aren’t just an eyesore, they are supplying the organic material that for Lichen and moss to root into your shingles. Once this food source is present, moss and lichen will soon start to grow and multiply.Below I have outlined the process and stages of roof deterioration, what to look for and also what may already be ALREADY happening up on your roof.

It is so unfortunate that many yet to be Roof Clean USA customers are unaware of just how Algae, Lichen, Moss, Mold, Mildew and atmospheric contaminants on their roof is being hidden by the gradual initial algae discoloration. Unfortunately, on advanced or severe cases of algae and moss and lichen infestation there will be granule loss on the shingles from the massive amount of mature Gloeocapsa Magma root system now deeply embedded in them.
No homeowner should ever let their roof get to these advanced stages of roof infestation and untreated, unmaintained roof plant growth.

The process of roof debris accumulation is a gradual one but a damaging one, nonetheless.

1. First, the roofing shingle manufacturer placed crushed limestone in the shingles used a filler, binder to the fiberglass and asphalt shingle matting which made the modern shingle, a natural snack food "pit stop" for the blue -green cyanobacteria GLOEOCAPSA MAGMA algae.

2. Then, Two, the algae was allowed by the homeowner to start growing and then remain on the roof until it was in "full bloom" and covering most of the Northern facing, roofs exposed areas, then later, as the roof continued not to be maintained and properly cleaned, the algae continued its growth as their was never any treatment or biocide or fungicide agent applied (ever) to stop its rapid growth, and soon it covered the entire roof surface.

3. Once the bed was made, i.e. the algae had propagated, sheathed itself by developing its dark colored husk and turning black to protect itself from the sun's rays, it continued to grow and grow, until it built a thick bed of algae, holding in the accumulation of the overnight moisture, roof condensation and dew, which allowed the next phase to occur.

4. This next phase is when their is all the right ingredients for additional growth of OTHER organisms BESIDES the GM algae, such as , LICHEN, MOSS, etc.

5. Once the bed has been made by the HOMEOWNER, neglecting to safely use non pressure roof cleaning methods, like the methods and teaching, here on the ARCA and RCIA, the algae was given all the opportunity it needed to "INVITE" additional "roof dwelling friends" to the party up on the homeowners rooftop.

6. This final stage is when the most damage can occur, when the algae has a thick bedding made and moisture is allowed to soak up into this algae bedding like a sponge, holding many other nutrients that occur by the gradual decomposition of the combination of the dying, re-propagating and shedding of the protective outside layers of the GM algae or husks, in combination with the crushed limestone roof shingle filler "combined" so that the roof now has all the ingredients to grow this moss and lichen.

7. This moss and lichen and algae are like any other plant. They have a root system. Once the roots are firmly planted and embedded in a homeowner’s roof, the roots actually suck or pull nutrients out of the shingle, AND, the roots also tug and pull on the roof shingle GRANULES, thereby dislodging and removing them from the shingle.

8. Granule loss exposes the shingle roof to the repeated day in and day out of the SUN'S brutal and harsh ray's and without the important Ultraviolet Protection, that the granules are designed to provide, the essential oils in the roofing shingle are leeched out of the shingle, causing the shingle to prematurely dry out and become brittle and soon curl and break.

9. Once the roofing shingle has all of these elements occurring, the damage is now partially irreversible and eventually the roof will leak if not replaced, from this massive microscopic attack on the roof at this advanced stage of lack of roof maintenance. Fortunately homeowners can do something proactive about this in the early stages of this problem and the results will be maximized roof life and that is depended upon how seriously each property owner takes this growing algae infestation so as to keep all we hold dear and important to us, safe, dry and free from water damage and harm.

10. Luckily, much of this can be avoided by proper, regular annual roof maintenance. Simply put, if annually, a homeowner can be very influential if they will just do his /her part to extend and maximize their roofs longevity by contracting with a ARCA or RCIA certified roof cleaner and getting a simply, low cost treatment applied to provide a barrier to block the algae, etc. from getting a foothold on your roof surface, their roofs life can be substantially increased and they may also save themselves thousands in expensive tear-off and re-roofing.

In closing, every homeowner should annually get their roof checked for the presence of roof algae, moss, lichen and mold. If any of these are present, the roof should be scheduled for a non pressure roof cleaning by a ARCA or RCIA Certified Roof Cleaning Professional Contractor. Then, once the offending algae, lichen or moss growth is controlled, the homeowner should get set up for annual anti- algae roof treatments to keep their roof looking and performing its very best.

Roof Prevention and Maintenance

Roof Prevention & Maintenance

Author: webmaster

Looking after the roof of our house is the first and possibly most important step to caring for the long-term life of any house.

The most important reason for regular roof maintenance is to protect the owner's investment. Because if roofs left unchecked then the cracks in roofs can lead to damage in the roof and throughout the building, with the most serious and costly scenario being a total replacement of the roof and ceiling.

A properly executed maintenance program will add years to the life of the roof by detecting minor problems before they become major, as well as providing better protection for, and avoiding interruption of, the internal functions of the building. A roof is exposed to all manner of chemical and physical stress.

The long term effects of these forces are called "Normal Aging". In reality, small isolated problems caused through abuse, stress concentration, inadequate ventilation, error, or other factors result in a shortened lifespan of the roofing system.

Minor roof maintenance work is a task which:

1. Can be completed in a matter of minutes, not hours;

2. Is infrequent;

3. Only needs one or two people;

4. Does not involve difficult work (eg heavy or awkward loads)

5. Only involves a small area. Small problems or defects, if not detected and repaired, inevitably become major problems affecting the performance of the whole roof system.

Roofs represent approximately 5 to 7% of capital building costs - but roofs cover 100% of the building and its contents.

So what gives when the roof—the spine—is leaking? And when it rains, can this faulty "backbone" still be considered a reliable shield of the home’s "vital organs"?

Roof leaks are obviously a big problem in any house but knowing the correlation between melting snow and roof leaks can help you to prevent one of the major problems that many houses face.

When snow melts and runs down the roof it often refreezes as it reaches the edge of the roof and the gutter. You’ve probably stood back in awe looking at these ice dams that form, but these can cause havoc with the integrity of your roof. However, they are relatively easy to prevent and doing so will undoubtedly save you money and heartache in the future.

High winds can cause leakage around flashings and valleys. Few roofs are designed for such acts of nature. You should also be wary of solar panels, air conditioners and antenna tie-down bolts. Bolts through roofs are bad news!

Chimney shrouds/hoods can also be a source of leakage. Unfortunately, poor construction is becoming more of a problem.

Leaks on seven-year-old shake and tile roofs can originate during construction but not become a problem until the roof gets older and looser.

As a roof ages, water can go places it could never reach before. Making sure that a leaking roof is prevented or fixed should be a top priority for all contractors and homeowners. A leaking roof can evolve into a disaster which can quickly ruin your home if not handled properly, so you must take every step to combat or prevent the problem. Gardner-Gibson offers roof coating and repair products that can effectively protect almost any type of roof under any circumstance.

Roof leaks can arise not only in old houses, but also in new ones. Very often leaks appear in those areas where roof materials and roofing products connect to walls or some other parts of building that are not part of the roof. Metal flashings can prevent this problem. Different metal flashings are available on the market today. They are made from copper, tin, galvanized steel, lead, rubber and aluminium.

Do's and Don'ts of Roof Maintenance

Do's:

1. Be aware that wise maintenance will prolong the life of any roof — even the best of them.

2. Perform inspections at least twice a year, preferably at the end of winter and right after summer, when roofs have passed through the periods of severest stress.

3. Conduct additional inspections immediately after unusual occurrences such as extremely heavy rains, high winds, hail, nearby fires, explosions, etc.

4. Check the building exterior for settlement or movement. Cracks in the wall are a warning of possible cracks in the roofing and flashing.

Some Questions You Need To Ask Yourself: Are overhangs, cornices, facias and edging in good condition? Are gutters and downspouts satisfactory? Breaks in roof edge elements can cause leaks and also let wind get under the roofing membrane and cause blow-offs. Damaged or clogged gutters, roof drains, and downspouts can cause water back up on the roof.

5. Be certain that equipment servicemen going on the roof are warned against penetrating or dropping tools on the roof. They should be accompanied by your trained maintenance man to ensure no damage to the roof assembly occurs.

6. Assure that your roof is kept clean and free from debris.

7. Recognize that exposure of roof felts (bare spots) on a gravel surfaced roof can lead to quick deterioration. This requires immediate attention by qualified personnel.

9. Be advised that flashings, gum pans, gravel stops and all other roof penetrations are the source of most leaks. Pay extreme and careful attention to these items.

Don'ts:

1. Allow unqualified personnel to maintain your roofs.

2. Allow traffic on your roof unless accompanied by your informed maintenance man.

3. Allow equipment servicemen to penetrate your roof without being certain that qualified personnel flash the penetrations.

There are a variety of materials for roof coatings that you can choose from if you have faced roof leaks problem; here are just a few examples of the different types of materials that are available to you; elastomeric coatings; epdm, liquid roof, liquid rubber, liquid epdm etc. primers, caulks, seam products.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN

What you should know about cleaning your roof.

DON'T REPLACE IT..CLEAN IT!!

Your house is most likely your biggest investment and your roof is one of the most expensive parts of your house. It is extremely important to have the utmost in confidence in your decision before hiring a qualified roof cleaning contractor.

Certified Roof Cleaning Institute of America roof cleaning contractors only use chemicals approved by the ARMA* Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association and do not use pressure on your shingles. RCIA roof cleaning contractors also provide our customers with technical bulletins directly from Asphaltroofing.org and shingle manufacturers to prove that our procedures and chemicals are properly formulated for roof cleaning. Our chemicals provide enough cleaning power to remove all mold, mildew, and streaks...without pressure washing or heavy rinsing.

In MOST Cases, we guarantee your roof will LOOK very close to,if not, 100% BRAND NEW!

Pressure washing is never recommended because it will remove a large amount of the ceramic coated granules from your shingles, which will void the warranty. Even low pressure will cause granule loss and shorten the life of your shingles. If you have ever cleaned out the inside of your gutters you will notice granules in them just from the rain taking them off. Think what any additional pressure would do to your roof. For instance, you see someone cleaning a roof with pressure and it appears they have done a good job just because the streaks and discoloration are gone, but guess what? So is a large amount of the protective ceramic coated granules which insure your shingle's warranty. Nobody wants to replace a prematurely failed roof due to an incompetent roof cleaning contractor, and you shouldn't have to.

We offer a conditional 3 year warranty against any streaks reappearing on your shingles.

Always use a 'chemical only' cleaning process for your roof. Roof cleaning is a completely different trade from pressure washing requiring different pumps, plumbing, hoses, nozzles, valves, chemicals, caution, knowledge, experience, skill, and insurance. The certified RCIA roof cleaners have all of the necessary tools, and have learned from the best roof cleaning professionals in the country.

Make sure you know what kind of chemicals are being applied on your property. Do not accept "it's biodegradable" for an answer. Even uranium is biodegradable over 50,000 years or so.

Because many "competitors" lack our roof cleaning equipment, knowledge, training, and experience, they sometimes apply a dangerously strong chemical solution. Sodium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide will dissolve the asphalt and tar on your roof, shortening the life of your shingles and voiding the roof's warranty. Even sodium metasilicate is too corrosive.

Our chemicals do all of the work to remove streaks and discoloration from your roof and require no pressure or heavy rinsing. Because we do not have to rinse, your roof will stay cleaner longer than our competitors. Leaving the chemicals on the roof creates a roof treatment or a hostile environment for future algae growth. Each time it rains, a small amount of chemical is washed off to help re-clean your roof over and over again.

Concerned about your plants, pets, and landscaping?

We only spray the roof, not your plants. We always bag the ends of your downspouts, collect all the chemical run-off from the roof and dispose of them away from your landscaping. If the roof does not have gutters we will thoroughly dilute the roof cleaning chemical down to safe levels by spraying the landscaping with water before, during, and after applying chemical. After the chemical biodegrades and evaporates from the roof, the dried crystals and surfactant act as a roof treatment to keep the roof cleaner longer as it rains.

We have had to go behind many competitors who pressure wash or rinse their customers roofs, which start growing mold and streaks after only 1 year.

We guarantee our roof cleaning will outlast our competitors!

The price of cleaning your roof vs. replacing it, averages 1/10 the cost!

IT DOESN'T COST, IT PAYS TO CLEAN YOUR ROOF!

SAVE YOURSELF $ THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS $ !!!

Black Streaks and Stains On Georgia Roofs

2009-03-29T17:30:00.000-07:00

Roof Cleaning:

Why Clean a Roof?

Roof Cleaning has been performed for a quite number of years due to an ever increasing need to keep the roofs of homes clear of the debris buildup that occurs with the growth of algae and mildew, mold and fungus, leaves and pine straw that, over time and with seasonal changes.

Unfortunately, this buildup of unwanted material occurs naturally on the surface of Asphalt shingle roofs , with much of the debris and staining being brought onto the roof surface by wind, airborne algae (gloeocapsa magma), bird droppings, squirrels,etc.

Buildup of Algae, Mold, Mildew, Fungus, Pine Straw and leaf debris acids from Tannin Leaf Decomposition) can shorten the life span of roofing systems on both residential and commercial asphalt shingles as well as other forms of roofing materials as the granules that hold important UV protectors and silica that help to create binding agents are attacked and weakened over time by the root systems of these invasive forms of miniature plant life and other factors.

Most of the Streaking and ugly Staining homeowners and commercial property managers see on shingle roofs are caused by the Blue-Green type of Algae called, technically, Gloeocapsa Magma.

These detrimental roof eating plant life forms live to eat, breed, reproduce, die and then repeat the same process over and over again.

It is the dead carcasses that form the buildup of the blackening of roofs as the cells of the birth, feeding, reproduction, death and reoccurring process, gives way to layer after layer of "husking" or Residual "dead cell buildup" that leaves the nasty look and black conical streaks found commonly on the "wet side" of the roof.

The "WET" part of most roofs is the area that receives the least amount of sun and is typically shaded more of the day than any other areas of a roof which typically sees more dry time.

These shaded or "wet" areas hold moisture and other debris on the roof surfaces, LONGER, and this "bed" of warm, wet, limestone fertilized roofing along with additional roof debris, such as leaves and or pine straw can usually be the first area of a roof affected by roof algae.

Unfortunately, the modern roofing materials available in the last 20 years or so have made this roof algae a problem that is reaching epidemic proportions around the USA, Europe and the world.

One CULPRIT of this growing Algae problem which owes its undeserved fame to is from manufacturers use of Algae's main snack food, which is the mineral, LIME, which is naturally occurring and, as such, in nature poses no serious threat.

Once, however, roofing manufacturers started to add this material (Crushed Limestone) to be used as a filler to extend the manufacturing process of petroleum based roofing materials, this has caused the Algae to seek out and feed on it's preferred snack food, in the worst of places, which is on the asphalt roofing surfaces of homes and business.

Many of the Roofs installed in the last 20-30 years have an abundance of crushed Limestone contained within them.

And as the Gloeocapsa Magma algae finds its way onto one roof in a neighborhood, and starts to feed and make a new home, since it is an airborne spore, it can "Roof Jump" and SPREAD, depositing itself on other roofs in a neighborhood or community creating epidemic outbreaks in more and more areas, both in rural as well as large towns, cities and communities around the country.
