Ipswich homes are constantly exposed to harsh elements such as pollution, road dust, wind and rain – particularly in suburbs like Brassall, Yamanto, Bundamba, Redbank Plains and Raceview.
Roofs are very versatile elements of a home because they can be wrought into different designs and can be made up of different materials. But one thing for certain is that like any other part of your home, constant cleaning is a must to have your property looking its very best!
PREVENTATIVE ROOF MAINTENANCE FOR IPSWICH HOMES
Ipswich roofs are often exposed to heavy dust, heat and seasonal storms, which can accelerate moss and lichen growth if left untreated.
When roof maintenance is delayed, small issues can quickly turn into costly repairs or full restorations.
Regular roof cleaning is a far more cost-effective way to protect your roof and extend its lifespan.
WHY HIGH-PRESSURE ROOF CLEANING CAUSES DAMAGE
Roofs such as Cement tiled, Spanish tiled, C-lock and Elemental tiles should never be pressure washed. Pressure washing damages your roof tiles and pointing by blasting away the granules and mortar.
This crude and invasive method of roof cleaning doesn’t really kill all of the algae growths. It may strip away mould quickly, but in the process, it will either pull out or leave it’s root system behind. This process will damage the tile and the mould will simply regrow. Many roofs across Ipswich that have previously been pressure cleaned require repeat cleaning within as little as 12 months due to regrowth and surface damage.
This is especially common in older Ipswich homes where tiled roofs and original pointing are more vulnerable to surface damage.
The brute force of pressure washing generates around 4000psi of water pressure blasting against the surface. This brute force guarantees to damage and age your roof by removing the fine outer layer making the surface more porous ensuring greater mould regrowth. It also lightens the roof colour and creates possible water damage in the future within your ceiling cavity. Despite popular belief, pressure washing always fails to kill or remove the spores. Once pressure washed the surface appears cleaner due to the outer biological growth having been removed, meanwhile, the biological growth now fills and blocks your gutters. Upon a closer inspection, you will notice all the spores that remain on the surface only encouraging further regrowth to develop within 12 months.
HOW SOFT WASHING WORKS
Once the exterior surface has been treated with the moss and mould remover, it immediately starts to work by killing the spores of any organic growth present like moss, mould or lichen. When an exterior surface has been soft washed, it will continue to self-clean for up to 12 months keeping your home or workplace looking good. After 12 months the surface will remain clean for up to 5 years dependant on location. Organic growth like spotty lichen patches and fungus growth on metal roofs erodes the protective paint surface exposing the bare roof sheets to the weather causing corrosion and premature life-span. On tiled roofs, organic growth damages mortar joints, colour coatings and creates tile movement causing potential water damage.

COLOUR BOND ROOF CLEANING
A colour-bond roof is usually much easier to clean than a tiles or terracotta. Colour-bond is strong, rarely leaks and time is the only thing that will remove paint. We use a surface cleaner at the lowest possible pressure to clean these. To clean a colour bond roof is a much less expensive exercise than tiles or terracotta.
Using a process and treatment that removes all the dirt and contaminants and inhibit the regrowth of lichen and algae by killing spores. If these go untreated they will grow back within 12 months and you will be back where you started.Why would you need roof cleaning for your property?
