What Is Attacking Your Roof?
With shingles today we are seeing an increasingly large number of roofs that are a breeding ground for organic growth. With the creation of the EPA, the shingle manufacturers in the mid 90’s set out to make shingles more environmentally friendly. In the process, the composition of the shingle went from a complete petroleum based product to a more organic product.
When the shingles were a complete petroleum based product, there were no food sources for organic growth. Roofs still saw just as much sun and moisture in the past. Now, with the introduction of limestone, everything has changed! Now we have water, sun, and a food source for organic growth; a process called photosynthesis. If left untreated over time, this can cause damage to your shingles which can lead to premature failure.

The Solution & How To Restore Your Roof
Have your roof professionally cleaned and maintained. Here at Essential Pressure Wash in Knoxville, TN. we have the skills and the experience to not only give your roof a new look but to also extend the life of it! These days there are many forms of living organisms that can grow on rooftops and it is important to have them removed properly and safely.
At Essential Pressure Wash when washing your roof we use a 100% biodegradable solution that is applied to the roof in one or two same-day rounds (a third round may be necessary for substantial organic growth). We then use a low-pressure rinse process to wash all black algae, moss, and lichen away from the surface of the roof. With this technique, organic matter is killed down to the roots permanently, keeping roofs clear for several years.
Your property is our number one priority and all landscaping is carefully protected during our cleanings and all work is guaranteed.
