Roof cleaning is essential to maintaining the longevity and appearance of your property. But many Melbourne homeowners often ask: “Is high pressure cleaning safe for my roof?” The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all , it depends on your roof type, the cleaning method used, and the experience of the cleaning team.
At Starvac Gutter Cleaning, we bring over 7 years of experience cleaning roofs safely and effectively across Narre Warren, Dandenong, and greater Melbourne. Here’s everything you need to know before booking your next high pressure cleaning service.
What Is High Pressure Roof Cleaning?
High pressure cleaning, also known as pressure washing, uses a powerful stream of water to remove:
-
Moss and algae buildup
-
Dirt and pollution stains
-
Mould, mildew, and debris
When done correctly, it restores your roof’s original appearance, improves drainage, and extends the lifespan of roofing materials.
Is High Pressure Cleaning Safe for All Roof Types?
The safety of pressure cleaning depends on:
1. Roof Material
-
Tiled Roofs (Terracotta or Concrete): Generally safe with controlled pressure.
-
Metal Roofs (Colorbond): Safe with moderate PSI.
-
Shingle Roofs: Should not be high-pressure cleaned — requires soft washing.
2. Age & Condition of the Roof
Older or damaged roofs need gentler methods to prevent further degradation.
