Why Clean Your Roof?

Roof cleaning is an important activity that you should do on a regular basis. If neglected, dirt at roof cleaning can become a major problem. Roof cleaning is needed mainly for two reasons;

Health:
For those of us that aren’t aware, that green / black tinge that appears on your roof and those round motley circles’ are forms of mould and lichen moss. Periodically millions of microscopic spores are released from this mould & moss. Sometimes the only sign of a problem is persistent ill health of the buildings occupants, such as headaches, nausea, respiratory symptoms, etc. hence, it needs be cleaned regularly.

Captured Water Quality:
The quality of your captured rain water depends greatly on the cleanliness of your roof. So does the cleanliness of your water tank. When the captured water is not clean, it reduces the life of your pumps and filters and requires the tank to be cleaned out more regularly.
