Frequently Asked Questions
So That Black Stuff On My Roof Is More Than Just Dirt?
Yes! The black or dark green streaking you’ve noticed on your roof is more than just dirt. It is, in fact, the bacteria known as gloeocapsa magma. Gloeocapsa magma travels as spores on the wind. When it lands on your roof, it finds a shaded area to start growing. As it expands, you start to notice black or dark green streaks appearing.
The good news is that gloeocapsa magma is fairly simple to clean away. The experts of pressure washing in Brevard/Orlando can help ensure our roof is clean and clear of gloeocapsa magma going forward.
Experts agree that the best way to keep your roof in great shape is to invest in a professional roof cleaning at least once per year. However, if you notice black or dark green streaking on your roof, it’s time to call the experts. To learn more about how gloeocapsa magma grows and damages your roofing, call Essentials Pressure Washing, Inc. today and speak to our experts.
What’s The Difference Between Pressure Washing And Soft Washing?
Pressure washing and soft washing are both excellent cleaning techniques. They’re both used on exterior cleaning projects for residential and commercial cleaning projects. However, pressure washing utilizes a high-powered water spray that can damage more fragile surfaces. That’s why pressure washing experts often also offer premier soft washing.
Soft washing is an eco-friendly cleaning option that won’t damage your more fragile outdoor surfaces. We utilize biodegradable cleaners to break down mold, mildew, and bacteria on the surface of your home or business before applying a gentle water-bleach mixture that washes away both the debris and the cleaners. This mixture is applied as a fine mist so you can feel confident you’re getting a thorough clean without risking damages.
The main difference between pressure washing and soft washing is the water pressure used throughout the cleaning process. Pressure washing uses a high powered spray between 750-30,000 PSI while soft washing uses between 40-80 PSI. Pressure washing can be damaging to surfaces such as softwood, siding, and shingles, which is why we also offer professional soft washing.
I Have Old, Set In Stains. Does Your Service Clean Those Up?
Yes! While it’s best to call a professional pressure washing service the moment you notice stains, we can also help with set-in stains. Set-in stains require specialized cleaners to break down the materials that make up these stains.
The sooner you call our experts, the easier it is to clean away these stains. If you’ve noticed set-in stains around your properties, call Tidal Wave Pressure Cleaning
