COMMERCIAL ROOF CLEANING – CHARLESTON SC

WHY CLEAN YOUR ROOF?

There are many advantages to a professional roof cleaning, including:

Loss of Energy Efficiency

The following roof systems can lose their energy efficiency benefits if not properly cleaned: TPO, PVC, White EPDM, and Roof Coatings. In just a few years of exposure to the environment, a roof system can become quite dirty. This has a negative effect on reflective roof systems, diminishing the energy efficient properties of these types of roof systems. By properly cleaning your system it can be restored to its optimal performance.

Meet Guidelines or Requirements

Food processing plants and related facilities are required to meet certain requirements to promote a safe and environmentally friendly work place. Keeping the roof clean and free of contaminants and pollution is often required. Ambassador can solve this problem by professionally cleaning your rooftop to eliminate debris, food waste, or whatever else is lurking on top of your roof. We can ease your stress by helping your organization pass the required guidelines.

Prevent Rust and Moisture Build Up

Debris that builds up on a roof can trap moisture inside and cause structural damage to certain roof systems. Leaves, for example, can act like sponges, trapping moisture and causing a metal roof to rust at an accelerated speed. This is especially true if your metal roof system has not been properly rust-proofed or is not up to date.

Destroy Black Algae

Gloeocapsa magma, commonly referred to as black algae, is a type of bacteria commonly found on rooftops. Gloeocapsa magma is a major concern for many roofs in the Southeastern United States. Most likely you have seen this on rooftops as you have driven around Charleston. The bacteria cause identifiable surface stains. If left untreated, it will continue to spread over the entire surface of a roof. The growth holds moisture and deteriorates roof material, which can lead to structural damage and/or the need for premature roof replacement.

Gleoeocapsa magma causes a major problem for commercial buildings with shingles, such as a church or apartment buildings. Not only does this algae cause structural damage to a roof, but it also makes your business look less appealing to visitors and consumers. Be proactive and setup a regular roof cleaning with the best service providers in town.
