The roof of your home not only protects you from the elements, but it also contributes significantly to the overall aesthetic and value of your property. Therefore, taking good care of it is crucial. This often involves more than just regular cleaning—it’s about the right treatment, too. At House Wash Master, Auckland’s go-to house washing service, we offer a variety of roof treatments, each with its unique benefits. Let’s explore them.

Roof Washing

Roof washing is the most basic form of roof treatment. It involves the removal of dirt, debris, algae, moss, and mildew using professional washing techniques. This process restores the look of your roof and prevents the growth of damaging organisms.

Benefits:

  • Enhances the curb appeal of your home.
  • Extends the life of your roof.
  • Prevents potential leaks caused by moss and algae.

Moss and Algae Treatment

This specialized treatment uses chemicals that specifically target moss, algae, and lichens. These organisms are not just unsightly, but they can also cause significant damage to your roof over time.

Benefits:

  • Kills moss, algae, and lichens and inhibits their regrowth.
  • Prevents the lifting of shingles and tiles, thus avoiding leaks.
  • Preserves the integrity of your roof, extending its lifespan.

Roof Sealants

Roof sealants are a protective coating applied to your roof to shield it from water, UV rays, and other damaging elements. They can be used on a variety of roofing materials including asphalt, tile, metal, and wood.

Benefits:

  • Adds an extra layer of protection against weathering and UV damage.
  • Enhances water resistance, preventing leaks and water damage.
  • Can increase energy efficiency by reflecting heat.

Anti-Mould and Mildew Treatments

These treatments specifically target mould and mildew, which can pose health risks and cause unsightly staining on your roof.

Benefits:

  • Kills mould and mildew and inhibits their regrowth.
  • Improves the appearance of your roof.
  • Protects your family’s health by reducing potential allergens.

Roof Painting

For roofs showing signs of age or weathering, roof painting can restore their appearance. High-quality roof paint can also offer protective properties.

Benefits:

  • Gives your roof a fresh, new look.
  • Can provide added protection against UV rays.
  • Can increase the value of your home.
