Pressure washing in Columbia SC

Roof Cleaning

At Water Dogs, we use a professional soft washing method to clean residential roofs. This safe, low-pressure technique is designed to remove stubborn stains caused by algae, moss, and mildew. Our process restores your roof’s appearance, boosts curb appeal, and helps extend the life of your investment.

Soft washing uses the same professional-grade equipment as pressure washing, but with a specially designed nozzle that delivers a wider, gentler stream. This lower pressure safeguards shingles, gutters, vents, flashing, and other roof components from damage. And while the word soft might sound mild, the results are powerful. The true cleaning strength comes from our eco-friendly solutions, which penetrate and eliminate organic growth at the source—all while being safe for your home and landscaping.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Neglecting a dirty roof can lead to:

  • Premature shingle aging and breakdown

  • Water damage and leaks

  • Decreased curb appeal

  • Poor heat reflection, raising your energy bills

We Remove:

Gloeocapsa Magma – A type of bacteria that causes dark streaks on roofs, often mistaken for dirt or mold. It feeds on shingles and shortens roof lifespan.

Moss – A green plant that holds moisture against surfaces like roofs and decks, leading to decay, wood rot, and structural damage.

Mold & Mildew – Fungi that grow in damp areas, causing stains, unpleasant odors, and potential health issues if left untreated.

Lichen – A stubborn mix of algae and fungus that clings to surfaces like roofs and stone, causing discoloration and long-term damage if not properly removed
