Is Pressure Washing Your Roof a Good Idea?

When it comes to cleaning your roof, you might wonder if pressure washing is the right choice. While pressure washing is great for driveways and sidewalks, using high pressure on a roof can actually cause serious damage. Instead, the best method is soft washing, a low-pressure cleaning technique that safely removes dirt, algae, moss, and stains without harming your shingles.

Why You Should NOT Pressure Wash Your Roof

🚫 Damage to Shingles – High-pressure water can strip away protective granules from asphalt shingles, shortening the lifespan of your roof.

🚫 Water Intrusion – Too much pressure can force water under shingles, leading to leaks, mold, and structural damage.

🚫 Voiding Your Warranty – Many roofing manufacturers void warranties if improper cleaning methods, such as pressure washing, are used.

🚫 Short-Term Results – Pressure washing may remove surface stains, but it doesn’t kill the algae and mold at the root, meaning stains will return faster.
