  1. Tile Roof Cleaning Tampa Learn more about tile roof cleaning in Tampa from our selected questions and answers below: What chemical is used to clean roof tiles? The chlorine-bleach roof cleaning method. Roof cleaning contractors who use sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) mix it in high concentrations with other chemicals such as trisodium phosphate, also known as TSP. They spray it on the roof and wait for it to dry and then re-apply it several times as needed. Should you clean moss off roof tiles? To avoid expensive repairs, moss should be removed from your roof tiles quickly if it is covering a significant area of your roof. Avoid pressure washing your roof to remove moss, as this could cause damage to the tiles and lead to the drenching of your roof interior. Do roof tiles need to be sealed? Now you know that concrete roof tiles can't become porous, you're probably wondering whether you really need to even bother with sealing them. While sealing your roof tiles won't actually affect whether they become porous or not (because that isn't going to happen anyway) it can still benefit you in a number of ways. Why are my roof tiles turning green? Known as black algae or roof mold, Gloeocapsa Magma is usually blamed on dirt accumulation, mold and mildew or defective shingles. It's actually just a blue-green algae spread by airborne spores. It is easily spread and causes those colorful stains on so many roofs. It needs heat, moisture and nutrients to grow. How often should a tile roof be cleaned? Generally speaking, a clay tile roof should be cleaned within the first five years of its life. After that, it may need to be cleaned as often as once a year to keep it looking great and lasting as long as possible. In other cases, it only needs to be cleaned once every few years. tile roof cleaning tampa

  2. Should you pressure wash a tile roof? Why You Should NEVER use a Pressure Washer on Roof Tiles This part of the tile is designed to gradually wear off until the tile needs to be replaced, usually after 80-100 years of normal weathering. Using a high powered pressure washer may strip the surface of the tile and shorten it's life expectancy. Can you reseal roof tiles? Resealing Your Tile Roof If you don't choose to change the color of your concrete roof tile, but desire to coat the surface of your tile with a new coat of clear sealer, we recommend the use of 100% clear acrylic sealer after the pressure cleaning is performed. What is the best way to clean roof tiles? A simple yet relatively manual method of cleaning roof tiles is to scrape off the moss, algae and dirt by hand. Using a tool such as a trowel, scrape the moss and dirt away from the tiles. The drier the day the better, because the moss and other materials will not be stuck to the tiles with moisture. How do you clean a tile roof with bleach? Bleach-Based DIY Cleaning Solutions The average one-story house will take between 15 and 30 gallons of the mixture. Distribute the solution evenly over the roof using a low-pressure garden sprayer, leave it for 20 minutes to loosen the dirt and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Can Moss damage roof tiles? If you remove moss from the roof, then you will reduce the possibility of tiles suffering from winter cracks. Furthermore, moss likes to grow on cement and can agitate the bond between ridge/apex tiles and your roof. Moss alone cannot damage the tiles. However, the greatest benefit of moss removal is on the gutters.
