Or Call Us NowQuick answer. Roof cleaning in Visalia, CA is about living algae rather than dirt, and it almost always starts on the slope that sees the least sun. Tree canopy shades the roof through the morning and tule fog holds the surface damp for days at a stretch in December and January, so a north or northeast slope may not dry out properly for weeks while the sunny side still looks nearly clean. We soft wash, which is the method shingle manufacturers point to, low pressure with a solution given proper dwell time and then a controlled rinse, and because scraping or blasting takes granules and tile glaze off with the lichen, the free estimate is written after we have looked at what is actually growing up there.
The black streaking on a Visalia roof is living algae, not dirt, and it almost always starts on the slope that sees the least sun.
The organism behind it needs moisture and very little light, which is why Visalia treats it so well. Tree canopy shades the roof through the morning. Tule fog holds the surface damp for days at a stretch in December and January. A north or northeast slope may not dry out properly for weeks. That is why the sunny side of a roof here can look nearly clean while the shaded side runs black.
Once it has been established a few seasons, moss and lichen follow. Moss holds water directly against the shingle or tile. Lichen goes further, putting root-like structures down into the surface, so pulling it off mechanically takes granules or tile glaze with it. That is the real cost of scraping or pressure washing a roof: it looks better for a year and it takes years off the roof.
Soft washing is the correct method and it is what shingle manufacturers point to. Low pressure, a cleaning solution with proper dwell time, then a controlled rinse. The organism dies at the root, and a roof treated that way stays clean noticeably longer than one that was simply blasted.
Tile takes technique on top of chemistry. Concrete and clay tile carry weight along the lower third, where the batten and the course below support them, so that is where a technician steps. Walking the middle of a tile is how you get the hairline crack that turns into a leak the following winter, and it is the single most common way a roof gets damaged during a cleaning.
We pre-wet and rinse landscaping on every job, which matters more in Visalia than most places because the yards under those old street trees took decades to get that way. And if only one slope is stained, that is what we quote. There is no reason to pay for a roof you can already see is clean.
Ask one question before you hire anybody off that search: do you put pressure on the roof. If the answer is yes, keep looking.
A pressure washer strips granules off composition shingle, forces water up under tile and past the underlayment, and does not kill the algae. So the streaking comes back, usually faster than it arrived the first time, and now the roof has less life in it.
