When to Clean Your Slate Roof
Slate roofs are beautiful and are extremely durable, however they are not completely safe against weathering and organic growth. Over time, algae, lichen, or moss can grow on slate tiles due to tree coverage, northern exposure, or debris. Slate tiles typically don’t get ruined from organic growth, but can get discolored, appear worn out and lose luster.
The most common damage from organic growth on slate roofs is caused by the tiles staying moist for extended periods and ruining the underlayment. This often leads to rotting and costly repairs, so seeing organic growth on the slate is a clear sign that it is time to clean the roof.
Cleaning slate roofs the Right Way removes organic growth and restores slate roofs using the remarkable soft wash low-pressure power washing technique. Right Way safely and effectively restores slate roofs to their original beauty.
How Do You Clean a Slate Roof?
Slate roofs should NOT be walked on because the tiles can be cracked or dislodged. Right Way slate roof cleaning is done by ladder access from the gutter level, specialized extension pole or by using a scissor lift or articulating boom.
How Often Should You Clean Your Slate Roof?
Typically, we find that the average time between cleanings can be 5-10 years, but every roof has its own unique challenges such as slope, shading, geography, debris issues, etc. which can impact the cleaning schedule.
