Is Soft Washing an Asphalt Roof Safe?

Soft Washing an Asphalt Roof is safe when the hired contractor has been properly trained and is up to date on the manufacture's recommended cleaning guidelines. We use low pressure to apply the approved cleaning solution to sanitize and clean any unwanted organic growth. This will keep the integrity of your shingles in the best shape for years to come.

Can you pressure wash a roof with no chemicals?

You could, but you would be voiding any outstanding warranty and cause irreversible damage. The granules of the shingles are embedded to protect against heat and absorb light, defend from inclement weather as well as protect the asphalt layer and fiberglass mat underneath.

If the roof has heavy moss and lichen, there may still be some organic growth still on the roof after it has been treated. This is a process as to preserve the shingles as best as possible while trusting the process. You may notice that where moss and lichen once were has now turned white. This is the result of the organism slowly dying and over time when drying out will naturally detach without pulling any of the shingle grit with it.
