Roof Cleaning & Maintenance

A roof can be properly designed with quality materials by skilled roofers and develop problems if it's poorly maintained.  The best way to extend and prolong a roof's life (and your investment) is through regular roof cleaning and roof maintenance.

Most roofing product manufacturers require that you do regular cleaning and maintenance or else limit their liability for issues with your new roof.  Warranties often contain provisions that significantly limit the warrantor's liability and the consumer's remedies in the event that problems develop or damage occurs to the roof system when it's not maintained.

Raindrop Roofing Northwest highly recommends:

• Annual inspections for most roof types
• Regular gutter cleaning and drain clearing
• Seasonal clearing of leaves, debris, and moss

For cedar roofs: We prefer a thorough sweeping over pressure washing and treatment with fungicide.  Although pressure washing can reduce life expectancy, it does offer immediate curb appeal for cedar roofs - an important consideration during real estate transactions.   Cedar roofs need to be inspected at least once every three years.

For flat roofs: It's critical that flat roofs be properly maintained and regularly cleaned.  We've found that many issues with flat roofs develop after poor or no maintenance.  An annual inspection will identify problems with seams, flashings, boots, and penetrations that can be fixed before they become expensive headaches.

Moss cleaning for all roofs: Controlling and clearing moss off roofs and from around seals or seams is critical for roof life no matter which type of roof you have.  Learn more about moss damage and moss remedies.

A proactive maintenance program (rather than reactive) helps identify problems at their early stages, while they can be corrected and before they become catastrophes.  Regular maintenance can reveal and address sources and causes of leaks before they occur. Too many owners have their roof systems examined only after a leak occurs.
