How Long Does a Roof Really Last?

We had an opportunity yesterday to talk with Tom Platania of the Comfort Time Live home improvement show.

Dirty Roof Before Roof-A-Cide®

Clean Roof After Roof-A-Cide®

Tom was great and asked some very good questions that most Homeowners and Property Managers have about Proper Roof Maintenance, Roof Cleaning, and Maximizing the Life of the Roof. And since this is a call-in show, his listeners also called in with some very good questions as well.

The topics included different roof cleaning methods, the use of Chlorine Bleach, the effects of the lack of proper maintenance, life expectancy of roofs.

Professional Roof Cleaning for Homeowner & Condo Communities

Protect Your Property &
Avoid Unnecessary Roof Damage.

Learn about your choices in different cleaning methods and what you should definitely avoid.

Many contractors that offer Roof Cleaning, especially here in Florida, are using dangerous levels of high-strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) because it is cheap, fast, and easy - in the short-term. But there are more effective ways to maintain your roof that are safer for both your roof and the environment.

Extremely High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions usually will not usually do noticeable damage to actual asphalt roof shingles or concrete roof tiles, but they will do irreversible damage to almost everything else that comprises a roof system – fixtures, flashings, fasteners, gutters, and most importantly the underlayment that covers the roof and serves as the actual waterproofing.

These are the most common areas of roof leaks and this damage is expensive to repair and can usually goes unnoticed for years before the problem is discovered.

This is why you do not see reputable Roofing Professionals using or advocating this dangerous method – but you will find them using other methods that are safer for the roof, safer for the environment, and APPROVED by Roofing Manufacturers.

FACT: Both Bleach and TSP will corrode metal (even in weak concentrations) and High-Strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) will accelerate the damage – especially when the roof is not rinsed properly.

FACT: Not One Roofing Manufacturer in the US recommends the High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions that are being used all over Florida and increasingly throughout the US.
FACT: Roofing Manufacturers have approved safer alternatives to Chlorine Bleach for cleaning roofs.
FACT: Roof-A-Cide® is Approved by EVERY major roof materials manufacturer to clean & prevent unsightly roof stains and ELIMINATE the need for roof cleaning.
