Protect from external and internal damage:

 

Dirt on roofs is the main cause of deterioration of the materials from which they are made and, therefore, external damage to this part of the home. For example, the lichens that usually appear on roof tiles make them more fragile. Roof cleaning helps to prevent these situations and, in addition, to increase the durability of these structures.

 

Protect from internal damage:

 

The damage caused by dirt on roofs not only affects the property externally, but can also damage its internal infrastructure, an example of this is that lichens can spread across the wooden partitions that support the Spanish tiles, or that which allows plastic, metal and any other material roofs to remain stable. The constant cleaning of roofs prevents damage to these structures and, consequently, increases the useful life of the roof.

 

It is a more economical decision than replacing the roof:

On the other hand, cleaning the roofs is more economical because it requires, in the most costly of cases, hiring labor to do the job, which is much less expensive than a replacement.
