Is Your Omaha Roof Under Attack? Understanding Those Ugly Stains
|
|
If you've noticed dark streaks, green patches of moss, or slippery algae on your roof in Bellevue, Elkhorn, or anywhere across the greater Omaha area, you're seeing a common problem. These aren't just dirt; they're living organisms – primarily Gloeocapsa magma (a type of algae) and various mosses and lichens. They thrive in our Nebraska climate, especially on the north side of roofs where shade and moisture linger.
These organisms aren't just an eyesore. They feed on the limestone filler in your asphalt shingles, literally eating away at your roof. Moss and lichen have root systems that can lift and crack shingles, making them vulnerable to wind and moisture. This accelerates wear and tear, reduces your roof's lifespan, and can even compromise its ability to reflect heat, potentially increasing your energy bills. |

Many people mistakenly think high-pressure washing is the solution for a dirty roof. This couldn't be further from the truth, and it can actually void your shingle warranty! Blasting high-pressure water at asphalt shingles can:
- Strip away granules (the protective coating).
- Force water underneath shingles, leading to leaks, mold, and rot.
- Damage flashing and other roof components.
- Create uneven, streaky results that look worse than before.

What are those black streaks and green patches on my roof?
Those unsightly black streaks are typically a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. The green patches are usually moss or lichen. These organisms thrive in moist conditions and unfortunately feed on the limestone filler in your asphalt shingles, causing damage over time and reducing your roof's lifespan.
Why can't I just pressure wash my roof myself?
We strongly advise against using high-pressure washing on your roof. High pressure can strip away the protective granules from your shingles, force water underneath them leading to leaks and rot, and even void your roof's warranty. It can cause irreversible damage that's far more costly than professional cleaning.
What is "soft washing" and why is it better for roofs?
Soft washing is the safe and recommended method for roof cleaning. It involves applying biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning solutions at very low pressure (similar to a garden hose). These solutions effectively kill and dissolve mold, algae, moss, and lichen at their root, ensuring a deeper, longer-lasting clean without any risk of damage to your shingles.
How long does a professional roof cleaning last?
Our soft wash method provides a long-lasting clean because it eliminates the organisms at their source. While results vary based on environmental factors, typically you can expect your roof to remain clean and free of significant regrowth for 3-5 years, sometimes even longer.
Will roof cleaning extend the life of my roof?
Absolutely! By removing destructive algae, moss, and lichen, you prevent them from degrading your shingles, lifting them, and causing cracks. This significantly slows down the deterioration process, adding years of life to your roof and delaying costly replacement.
Is No Pressure Power Washing insured for roof cleaning?
Yes, for your complete peace of mind, No Pressure Power Washing is fully licensed, registered with the State of Nebraska, and carries a $2 million General Liability insurance policy. Your property is always protected when we're on the job.
Do you walk on the roof during the cleaning process?
Our primary goal is safety and protecting your roof. Whenever possible, we clean roofs from ladders, using specialized equipment to reach all areas without unnecessary walking. If roof access is required for thoroughness or safety reasons, our experienced technicians are trained in proper roof safety protocols.
What types of roofs do you clean?
We specialize in cleaning asphalt shingle roofs, which are the most common type and susceptible to algae and moss growth. We can also clean other roofing materials such as tile or metal roofs, using appropriate methods.
