Roof Cleaning in Oregon

The approved cleaner for roofs is a variation of pool grade chlorine that is mixed with surfactants to allow dwell time on steep surfaces. There are downsides to using this mixture when it is first mixed and hot. Some of the downsides are it can kill plants along with the moss and mold so you have to be more careful in prep work so that you do not kill plant life. Also, when it is hot or freshly mixed on hot days it has an off gassing of chlorine gas which is also harmful and can even be fatal if PPE is not used. Even with all these scary things, chlorine is used in drinking water and cleaning without to much issue if used appropriately.. It also degrades rather fast and become inert quickly with UV exposure.

Another option is available but a bit more costly and friendly to use...

"Sodium percarbonate mixed with titanium dioxide"
*SIMEX*
" breaks down volatile organic compounds into harmless, inert materials and carbon dioxide. It is safe for plants. It contains inert materials disappear into the soil. Bleach is chlorine — a toxic substance that can kill plants and animals and can be very harmful to your lungs. Prolonged use of bleach will damage paint, destroy roofing underlayment and asphalt shingles."

Having used both types of cleaners and weighing the benefits of both, I have found that the Percarbonate type cleaners work but not as quickly as the Chlorine mixes. Both will work but one requires more work and cost overall, and you you still have to take the same amount of caution to not overspray or get into the waterways. both products go inert, but may still need capture depending on the areas being cleaned.

Hidden mold signs

 

these are the most common signs of mold illness:

• Headache
• Fatigue, post-exercise malaise, and weakness
• Memory problems, focusing issues, executive function problems, brain fog
• Light sensitivity, blurred vision, red eyes
• Sinus problems, air hunger, cough, shortness of breath, asthma-like signs
• Vertigo
• Static “shocks”
• Weight gain despite sufficient effort (weight loss resistance)
• Tremors
• Muscle cramps, constant nerve pain, pain in the joints, aches without inflammatory arthritis, “ice pick” pain
• Persistent nerve pain
• Numbness and tingling
• Abdominal pain, diarrhea, appetite changes, nausea
• Night sweats or temperature regulation issues
• Excessive thirst
• Increased urination
• Metallic taste

Regarding these symptoms, you can easily see why they are often confused with other diseases’ signs. Yet, the disastrous effects of mold have been scientifically studies for more than three decades.

Home cleaning services

Most people think of janitorial type services when the words home cleaning are advertised. The typical dusting, vacuuming, window cleaning and mopping of hard floors.  These type of services are plentiful in most areas like Salem Oregon and surrounding communities. They have their place in every city. For the moment, let's consider a couple steps up from those run of the mill services. The kind of service providers who have invested thousands of dollars in the latest high tech steam equipment with a deep knowledge of chemical compounds.... Oh wait... There are not many of those type companies you say.  There is one such company that has taken 25 years of industrial experience and redirected that experience to a consumer level benefit. Fast Finish of Salem Oregon is one such company that has provided a residential/ commercial system of services.

Very few companies have such a diverse offering of cleaning services and if they do, they are not as highly ranked as Fast Finish.  They have been business of the year three years in a row for their exceptionalism in services and customer relations regarding those services. One of the main reasons for this is they never get into jobs or projects that would not finish well. If they take on a job it is always above expectation and satisfaction. This insures a greater return of satisfied customers. The customer base may be a bit smaller than some larger companies that rely on volume, but they are always top notch in relationships when finished with a long list of potential repeat clients and great references.

Check out their Angies list profile and Google fast finish for yourself. You will see that they are very popular for searches on pressure washing, sealing concrete, roof cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, natural stone cleaning, polishing and surface restorations utilizing polymer concrete overlays and epoxies.

Fast Finish one of Oregons best start up companies of the decade when it comes to cleaning.

But as with all things in business they evolve and change. Fast Finish is actually going to scale back a couple services to focus more on some core competencies... One of the services they are going to sell off is the roof cleaning set up. Many Salem area residents were able to take advantage of getting this highly demanded service of getting unsightly moss removed and treated, thus saving costly future roof repairs.

The difficult decision has been made to refer this service to a new company owner that will be utilizing the Familiar fast finish wrapped trailer set up.

End of season cleaning

The last three months of the year can be a challenge for most cleaning companies.   The weather plays a big impact on their ability to provide cleaning services for a lot of residential customers. The companies that are one dimensional in their approach to cleaning can suffer huge setbacks in the late fall and winter months. A lot of companies, if they did well during the premium months will focus on their marketing and web sites for the upcoming year. Other more established companies might be diversified enough with commercial business to make it through the holidays and weather seasons. 

Oregon residents withdraw a bit during the holidays in regards to cleaning. There are less home sales, and traffic in and out if the home and even less around the wet landscapes outside the home. Other than raking leaves and trimming some of the overgrowth, outdoor activities around the yard come to a standstill. The deck and patio cleaning goes away until the spring sun returns. Even exterior house and roof washing will get overlooked once the weather moves in. For years I approached my maintenance the same way, wait for good weather to get it done.

Some of the best cleaning times, especially for driveways, walkways, patios, siding and roofs is during the wet season. 

Moss is a friend to the wet season as most Oregonians know from experience.

But what most residents don't know is that it slowly destroys and breaks down the surfaces to which it clings.

Removing the moss and molds during the wet season is a great idea. Finding a cleaning company that works in the weather is awesome. The product that is typically used in conjunction with removal  needs and likes a wet surface. It actually works better with a wet surface and some dwell time. This insures a much deeper clean. It also requires less pressure in the case of cement and aggregate drives and walkways. Less pressure is always better so as not to damage the surface. 

Also less pressure is important when siding or roofing is bring cleaned. Less experienced companies can take years of life off the hood and siding by using a pressure only method of cleaning.

Fast Finish Surface Restorations utilizes the perfect system for cleaning any surface. 1)Heat 2) Cleaning agent 3) pressure.

Usually a pie chart represents 1/3 of each    

Ingredient pretty well. Knowing when to use less of one ingredient and more of another is an art form. Then add that the proper cleaning agent is crucial in getting the desired finish.  This is where Fast Finish seperates from the rest of the heard. Knowing chemical properties for cleaning and the raw chemicals that are needed for specific surfaces sets them apart from all other Salem Oregon cleaners.  Add in the knowledge and ability to clean during the fall and winter months makes them the perfect choice for any cleaning project.

Best Roof Cleaning in Salem Oregon

When you drive around Salem have you ever noticed the heavy moss, mold, and lichen, on the roofs in your neighborhood? Some look like carpet it is so thick...
Roof cleaning in Salem and the surrounding areas seem very neglected. Most people give little thought towards the roof... Even the cleaner roofs ( not yet green) have black stains.The stains that appear on your roof are living organisms that are methodically reducing the lifespan of the investment you made in your homes roof shingles. These organisms feed on the limestone base of the shingle causing the granules to loosen and end up in your gutter. As these granules slide down to the gutters, an increase in your homes utility bills are soon to follow. Unable to effectively reflect the suns rays away from your home in summer your air conditioner will find itself working overtime to keep your house cool. The black streaks also absorb and hold heat to your roofs surface. In winter your heating bill will inch upward as the shingles are less likely to retain the heat in your home as they did when they were new. The moss roots eat away at the limestone and hold damaging moisture causing rot under the shingles. An infected roof reduces your homes curb-appeal and property value quickly.

Durable tile is also affected by mold and when an inexperienced contractor is utilized for mold removal the results can be disastrous and costly. Pressure washers can destroy the glaze or surface areas allowing the moss and mold to come back even more aggressively.

Cedar Shake roofs are the most expensive and one of the roofs most affected by mold and moss. Growth on a wood roofs retains moisture and does not allow the roof to naturally dry out, negatively affecting its appearance and dramatically shortening the roofs life.

The life expectancy of a roof can be reduced by as much as 50% by not having it cleaned or having it cleaned improperly with pressure washers.

There is a very short list of qualified roof cleaning contractors in Salem Oregon that are able to identify which type of organisms you may be infected with and safely remove them from your home. Some, have more interest in just replacing your roof just as much as cleaning it...
