Why It's a Bad Idea To Pressure Wash Your Home

When cleaning your roof, you never want to use a pressure washer. Pressure washers damage shingles and are prohibited by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association(ARMA). When cleaning your roof you only want to use experienced SoftWash Professionals. We at MidSouth RoofSavers have gone through extensive training using the SoftWash  processes and technologies. We rid your roof of those ugly black streaks. We also treat for moss and lichens. We can have your roof looking brand new with ZERO damaging effects.

When washing your house,you want to be wary of the use of pressure washers. Pressure washers can damage Vinyl siding by removing the UV coating and resulting in a chalky appearance. SoftWashing Vinyl siding not only retains the UV coating but also leaves a shiny waxed appearance.
When pressure washing a painted surface, you run the risk of removing paint and having to repaint or touch up paint. SoftWashing a painted surface results in a clean freshly waxed appearance.

NEVER,NEVER, NEVER use a pressure washer on Dryvit or Stucco surfaces!! This will result in removing layers possibly even holes in your homes exterior walls. SoftWashing is THE way to clean Dryvit and Stucco surfaces. PERIOD!!

When pressure washing brick, the dangers are minimal. The worst you can expect is tiger striping. This is when a pressure washer is turned up too high. The result is a striping effect.

The difference between a SoftWashing company and a traditional pressure washing company is, SoftWashing TREATS and KILLS the Mold, Algae, Moss and Bacteria that are living on the exterior of your home. We are in some ways a Pest Control Company in that we treat for living organisms(Mold, Algae, Moss and Bacteria). Pressure washers just blast it away but don't kill anything. So, you have to have it pressure washed again in the near future. With SoftWashing, we KILL it!!

Roof cleaning is mandatory for maintenance and property values. Though a pressure washer is an effective tool in cleaning a roof, it wouldn’t be a good option. This does not require the use of chemicals, yes, but it is very time consuming. In addition, this type of roof cleaning isn’t applicable to every type of roof. Repeated pressure can erode the tiles that are covered with thin layer of paint. If this happens, stains will be visible in the roof.

That’s right, Sierra! Yes, a pressure washer is a good tool for cleaning, but roofs need to be handled with care to maintain its structural integrity. Using a pressure washer might create some minor damage to your roof, and minor damage, when mistreated and repeated, always becomes a serious one.
