Soft Wash & Non-Pressure Roof Cleaning Services for Your Maryland Home by Chesapeake Hydro-Wash

If you’re thinking about replacing the roof on your Maryland home or business because of the streaks, then think again.
Chesapeake Hydro-Wash provides a Safe Non Pressure Roof Cleaning solution that will restore your roof to its original appearance. Our non pressure roof cleaning is a  Soft-Wash process that utilizes a solution of algaecides and surfactants to safely eliminate the black stains.  The process provides same day results, adding instant curb appeal and value to your property.

Pollution, tree sap and jet exhaust are the first things people think of when they see staining on their roof.  Many Maryland residents are surprised to find that virtually all roof staining and discoloration is organic matter in various stages of growth and decay.  Algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and moss are the main culprits.

The black roof stains / streaks you see are actually algae called Gloeocapsa Magma.  This algae spreads itself by unseen microscopic spores, just like a dandelion weed.  Its spores are airborne and lie dormant until they land on a hospitable environment with moisture and an adequate food source…and guess what that food source is?  Your roof.  Shingles made today contain massive amounts of food that algae love to eat – that food being limestone.  Yes, the algae and fungus are actually eating your roof shingles.  In most cases the algae will take root on the north or west facing roof surface or any area of the roof that is subject to limited sunlight.  This lack of sunlight allows the shingled roof surface to remain wet longer, providing a perfect environment for the algae to grow.

This eventually leads to extensive shingle damage and the need for early roof replacement, costing you not hundreds but thousands of dollars.  Don’t worry, We have the solution!!!

We provide a NON PRESSURE chemical application that removes the roof damaging algae, safely and effectively.  Our Soft-Wash Roof Cleaning process follows the guidelines set by the Asphalt Roof Manufacturers Association, and is the same method taught by leading Exterior Cleaning Organizations.

All our complete Maryland Roof Cleanings come with our exclusive 5 Year Streak Free Warranty. We also offer a maintenance program to keep your roof looking new for the remainder of its life.

A clean roof not only enhances your home’s curb appeal but also plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of your property. At Chesapeake Hydro-Wash, we specialize in Soft Wash roof cleaning — a safe and effective non-pressure roof cleaning method that is perfect for removing algae, moss, lichen, and other contaminants from your roof without causing damage.

Unlike traditional pressure washing, our Soft Wash technique utilizes low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions, ensuring a gentle but thorough clean. Our expert team delivers reliable and long-lasting results for homeowners throughout Maryland.

Traditional high-pressure washing can damage your roof, especially when dealing with fragile materials like shingles or tiles. Our Soft Wash roof cleaning service is designed to clean your roof safely and effectively, protecting it from damage while restoring its appearance. Here’s why Chesapeake Hydro-Wash is the preferred choice for roof cleaning in Maryland:

1. Gentle and Safe for All Roof Types

Unlike pressure washing, which can harm roofing materials, Soft Wash roof cleaning uses a low-pressure spray combined with specially formulated cleaning solutions to clean your roof without causing any damage. This method is perfect for all types of roofs, including asphalt shingles, clay tiles, cedar shakes, and slate.

2. Remove Algae, Moss, and Lichen

Over time, algae, moss, and lichen can grow on your roof, especially in humid climates like Maryland. These organisms can not only make your roof unsightly but can also cause significant damage if left untreated. Our Soft Wash roof cleaning targets these growths and safely eliminates them, restoring the appearance of your roof and prolonging its lifespan.

3. Long-Lasting Results

Our Soft Wash cleaning solution works by breaking down organic matter at the root, meaning it doesn’t just clean the surface but addresses the underlying growths as well. This results in a longer-lasting clean and helps to prevent future buildup, meaning fewer cleanings over time.

4. Safe for Your Roof and Home

Traditional high-pressure washing can cause shingles to become loose, crack, or even dislodge, leading to costly repairs. By using low-pressure water and soft wash cleaning agents, we eliminate these risks, ensuring your roof remains intact and free from damage.

5. Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal

A clean roof significantly enhances your home’s appearance. Whether you’re preparing to sell, or simply want to refresh the look of your home, Soft Wash roof cleaning will restore the clean and attractive appearance of your roof, boosting your property’s curb appeal.

6. Protect Your Roof and Home

Regular Soft Wash roof cleaning helps maintain the integrity of your roof, preventing damage caused by the growth of moss, algae, and other contaminants. By removing these organisms, you’re reducing the risk of premature wear, leaks, and other issues that could lead to expensive repairs down the road.
