Is your metal roof looking a little green or grimy? Well, if you live in the Greater Seattle area, you know how quickly moss, algae, and grime can build up. Furthermore, a dirty roof isn’t just an eyesore; it can actually hurt your roof’s lifespan! Therefore, professional metal roof cleaning is a must, and Chinook Services is here to help your roof shine.

Why Your Seattle Metal Roof Needs a Gentle Touch

First off, you might be wondering about the best way to clean a metal roof. Here’s a crucial tip: never allow high pressure when cleaning a metal roof! Many people think a powerful blast is the answer, but that’s simply not true for metal roofs.

Why no high pressure? Well, here’s the important part: high pressure will damage your metal roof. In fact, it can break the seals on your roof, allowing water to sneak in. Subsequently, this water intrusion can lead to mold and damage inside your home or building’s living space. Nobody wants that!

The Soft Wash Method: Gentle Yet Powerful Cleaning

So, what’s the proper and safe way to clean a metal roof? The answer is the soft wash method. Take a look at the images on this post that show a Seattle area roof before and after Chinook Services’s soft wash cleaning process. You’ll be amazed at the difference!

We use a pressure washer, but with very, very low pressure. In addition, the water our pressure washer uses is mixed with a special cleaning solution. This solution works like magic, dissolving tough buildup like moss, algae, mold, pollen, and even that stubborn grime that normal weather just can’t budge. It’s important to understand that the soft wash service is designed to remove this difficult buildup.

Keeping Your Roof Clean: Beyond the Soft Wash

While our soft wash service is fantastic for deep cleaning, it’s also helpful to remove loose debris. Using a leaf blower, for instance, will easily remove pine needles and other “loose debris.”

For best results and a long-lasting clean, we recommend our soft wash service every 1 to 5 years, depending on your roof’s exposure. Furthermore, we also suggest a roof blow in between soft wash services, usually once a year, to keep things tidy.

Safety First: Our Commitment to Your Home and Our Team

Another important factor to consider when choosing a roof cleaner is safety. At Chinook Services, we have a strict protocol to use fall protection on every single roof we clean. This means that our workers create and use a detailed safety plan specifically for roof safety. Our workers are always tied off to the roof, ensuring their safety while they work. Plus, our workers use special shoes that provide excellent traction on metal roofs, further enhancing their safety.
