Wonder why your roof is turning black?
It is a fungus growing from airborne spores that
eventually spread over the
entire roof.
Since your roof is very expensive to replace, we clean
it with no pressure
to ensure no damage to your tiles or shingles. We have a dedicated
chemical pump putting out only 60psi, and will not get on your roof with heavy pressure washer
hoses. This method effectively eliminates the mildew and fungus growth and also kills the
spores these plants grow from. By applying a chemical treatment recommended by the Asphalt
Roofing Manufacturers Association, your roof will stay clean longer and there will be no
damage to the tiles or shingles by the use of high pressure cleaning methods.
All surrounding
plants and shrubbery are kept wet with clean water or covered with tarps to ensure no damage
will occur during the cleaning process.
There are a lot of "roof cleaning" products on the market. Most of them require applying the
product then pressure washing it off. Our non-pressure roof cleaning method and chemical
mixture is time tested to kill and inhibit further growth of the mildew.

Stay Off The Roof
On the East Coast today, when I was on my way
to do my errands before the game came on, I
saw something that made me cringe... a guy in
his 60's up on a roof cleaning leaves out of his
rain gutters.
I can't tell you how bad of an idea this is.
Unfortunately it is distressingly common in the
United States. It is the second most common
trauma fatality in people aged 18 to 49 years of
age. The trauma and spinal cord center that I
work at was full last week of people who had
fallen off their roofs removing leaves and debris.
Approximately half of the people who fall from
roofs suffer orthopedic and neurological Injuries
depending on what body part they land on. Head
injuries from the skull striking the ground are
usually devastating. If the patient lands on their
feet they usually have bilateral calcaneal (heel
fractures) and femur and hip fractures. These
injuries usually require a period of non-weight
bearing for six to eight weeks. If patient lands on
their torso they usually suffer spinal fractures
with the risk of paraplegia. It goes without saying
that devastating internal organ injury (e.g., liver
laceration, splenic rupture) can occur regardless
of how the patient lands.
I understand that gutters have to cleaned and
repairs to roofs made. It is just not worth the risk
to have someone who climbs up on roofs
infrequently do this with the likely the wrong type
of ladder and without a spotter. There are
professional roof cleaning outfits in every town
that can be hired for a few hundred dollars to
attend to whatever roof or gutter problem is at
hand. There are old-time trauma surgeons who
will tell you that patients (they are usually men)
are never the same after being injured from a fall
from a roof - even the patients who make a "full
recovery."
So, please, please, please do not go up on the
roof for any reason. There are two groups of
people allowed on the roof - professionals who
do it every day and who have the right type of
training and equipment and a guy with a white
beard in a red suit and black boots. Copyright 2006 Insidesurgery.com
