Scrape And Biocide  

MM Roof Cleaning Services offers a Scrape and Biocide Treatment method, which is ideal for homes with significant moss, lichen, or algae buildup on their roofs. This two-step process is designed to provide a thorough cleaning and long-lasting protection for your roof. Here’s how the service typically works:

1. Scraping the Roof

• Purpose: Scraping is done to physically remove heavy moss, lichen, and other organic growth that has accumulated on your roof. These growths can retain moisture, causing damage to your tiles over time.

• Techniques: MM Roof Cleaning Services uses specialized tools such as soft-bristled brushes or non-abrasive scrapers to gently but effectively remove the organic material. Care is taken to avoid damaging the roof’s surface.

• Thorough Cleaning: The goal is to remove as much of the moss as possible, which will not only improve the appearance of your roof but also prevent the growths from causing further damage.

2. Biocide Treatment

• Purpose: After scraping, MM Roof Cleaning Services applies a biocide treatment to kill any remaining algae, moss, or lichen spores left on the roof over a period of time. The biocide also prevents future growth of moss, algae, and lichen by creating a protective barrier.

Why Choose Scrape and Biocide Treatment?

• Effective for Severe Growth: Scraping is necessary when there is heavy moss or lichen buildup. This method ensures that even stubborn growths are effectively removed.

• Long-Term Protection: The biocide treatment not only removes current growths but also prevents future ones from regrowing. This reduces the frequency of roof cleanings and helps extend the lifespan of your roof.

• Prevents Roof Damage: Moss and algae growth can trap moisture, leading to rot, tile damage, or even leaks. By removing these growths, the scrape and biocide treatment helps to preserve the roof’s integrity.

• Improves Aesthetics: The roof will look cleaner, and the black streaks caused by algae or the patches of moss will be eliminated, enhancing the overall curb appeal of your home.

Additional Benefits:

• Custom Approach: MM Roof Cleaning Services tailors the scraping and biocide treatment process to your specific roof type and the extent of the moss or algae buildup. This ensures optimal results.

• No Damage: Scraping is done carefully to prevent any damage to the shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials.

Process Overview:

1. Inspection: MM Roof Cleaning Services will inspect your roof to assess the level of moss, lichen, and algae buildup.

When Should You Consider Scrape and Biocide Treatment?

• Heavy Moss and Algae: If your roof has extensive moss or lichen growth.

• Areas with High Humidity: In regions with lots of rainfall or shade, moss and algae growth is more common, and regular scrape and biocide treatments may be needed.

• Roof Preservation: If you want to ensure that your roof lasts longer without damage, the scrape and biocide method can help protect it from the damaging effects of organic growth.
