If you’ve been searching for roof cleaning in Peachtree City, you already know Georgia’s heat and humidity create the perfect conditions for algae, moss, and lichen — and they don’t stay small for long.

The good news? A little know-how goes a long way.

Here are five roof cleaning tips to help you protect one of your biggest investments.

1. Know What’s Actually Growing Up There

Not all roof discoloration is the same. Before you do anything, identify what you’re dealing with:

• Black streaks – Usually Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae. Very common, spreads fast.
• Green or fuzzy patches – Moss. Holds moisture against your shingles and causes damage over time.
• White or gray crust – Lichen. The hardest to remove and the most damaging.

Each one requires a slightly different approach. Treating moss like algae (or vice versa) won’t get the job done.

2. Never Pressure Wash Asphalt Shingles

This is the biggest mistake homeowners make.

High-pressure washing blasts away the granules on asphalt shingles — the layer that protects your roof from UV rays and water. Once those granules are gone, your roof ages fast.

The right method is soft washing — low pressure combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills algae and moss at the root without damaging your shingles. It’s the method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA).

3. Georgia’s Climate Makes Roof Cleaning in Peachtree City Essential

Roof cleaning isn’t just reactive — it should be part of your regular home maintenance routine.

A good rule of thumb:

• Inspect your roof once a year, ideally in the spring or fall
• Schedule a professional cleaning every 2–3 years, depending on your environment (shaded yards and humid climates need more frequent attention)

Catching algae early means easier removal and less damage. Waiting until your roof looks like a moss garden? That’s a much bigger job.

4. Watch Out for DIY Products That Promise Too Much

Walk down any hardware store aisle and you’ll find spray-on roof cleaners that claim to do the job in minutes. Some of them work — temporarily.

What they often don’t do:

• Kill algae and moss at the root
• Prevent regrowth
• Clean evenly across a full roof surface

Some products also contain chemicals that can damage landscaping, gutters, or painted surfaces if not applied carefully. If you go the DIY route, read the label closely and rinse surrounding plants and surfaces before and after.

5. When to Call a Pro for Roof Cleaning in Peachtree City

Roof work is dangerous. Even experienced DIYers underestimate how slippery a wet, algae-covered roof can be.

Hire a professional if:

• Your roof is steeply pitched
• You have significant moss or lichen buildup
• You’re not comfortable working at height
• You want the job done right — without risking your shingles or your safety

A professional soft wash cleaning not only gets better results, it protects your warranty. Many roofing manufacturers void warranties on roofs that show evidence of pressure washing damage.

The Bottom Line

Your roof is one of the most expensive parts of your home to replace. Regular cleaning and proper technique can add years to its life and keep it looking sharp.

The PWNA Education Summit was a big step forward for power washing education. We’re proud to share that Mike Dingler, owner of Firehouse Pressure Washing, played a key role in this event.

What Is the PWNA Education Summit?

The Power Washers of North America (PWNA) hosted its first Education Summit in Chicago. It took place at the Expert Safety Services training center. During the event, board members met to film eight new training courses for power washing professionals.

These classes include:

• Marketing 101 and 102
• Plant and Property Protection
• Holiday Lighting
• Four more courses coming soon

As a result, members will have access to these courses by the end of 2025.

Mike Dingler’s Role at the Summit

In addition to running Firehouse Pressure Washing, Mike serves as a board member of PWNA. At the summit, he helped teach and film the courses. He shared real-life experience and focused on helping others grow.

“The summit gave us a chance to share what we’ve learned,” Mike said. “It’s about helping others succeed.”

Because of his efforts, Firehouse stays at the front of the industry. Mike’s commitment to safety and training helps improve the service we give our customers every day.

Why This Matters

Above all, strong training leads to better results. For example, these new courses help contractors clean safely, protect homes, and improve their skills. As a result, the entire industry benefits—from contractors to customers.

Thank You to the PWNA Team

We’d like to thank Michael Draper and the team at Expert Safety Services for hosting. Furthermore, we appreciate the PWNA board members who worked hard to make this summit a success.

Well, that’s scary news.  

     Have you heard about the coronavirus yet?  Im just kidding, we all have right?  I am a Firefighter / Paramedic and I have been in the medical field providing emergency care for the last 15 years of my life.  What’s my take on this whole thing?  Its a virus. It doesn’t make your brain melt out of your skull, its morbidity rate is rather low and mostly affects the elderly and those with a predispostioned weakend immune system.  However it is still something to take precautionary measures against.  Running to the store and buying everything you can find? No, and I’m not sure who said there was going to be a toilet paper shortage anyways.  Washing your hands more often and avoiding large crowds in which the virus could be spread? Sure. The number one method of reducing the risk of disease transmittal taught in every infection control class I have ever attended is proper hand washing. Social distancing did mitigate the infection rate of the Spanish Flu, so we are good to go on implementing that as well. 

     I think my biggest concern with this is fear.  Fear is what makes everything worse, and fear is what the news media likes to inflict upon its viewers more than anything else.  “If it bleeds it leads” is unfortunately the truth when it comes to reporting.  For instance:  I have contacted numerous radio and television stations to inform them that my company, Firehouse Pressure Washing, is offering free playground sterilization while schools are closed.  I am waiting to hear back on if they can help me spread the word.  Thats what I consider a “positive news story”.  It will make people feel good about what we are doing.  The news media will most likely want to see our employees in full protective gear including respirators (none of this is needed) actually doing the work.  This is what I consider a “negative news story” as it inflicts fear to see an individual suited up in a Level A or B HAZMAT suit (I have been a HAZMAT Technician for 12 years).  So while I want to spread the word about our free playground sterilization offerings, I don’t want to inflict fear inadvertently by having us all suited up on the news reports.  If you know anyone at your childs school that works in the office, please have them go to www.firehousepowerwash.com and fill out a contact form so that we may get their schools playground on the list.  

     What we do at Firehouse Pressure Washing:  we use a chemical, Sodium Hypochlorite, which is the main chemical in bleach.  However we have access to this chemical at higher concentrations and we dilute this chemical to the proper ratios to preform house, concrete and roof cleaning.  As it turns out per CDC guidelines, when we dilute our Sodium Hypochlorite to clean whatever surface we are applying it to, it is in compliance with CDC guidelines to kill COVID-19.  This means that anything we clean, the goal usually being to kill off algae and mold, is also killing the pandemic virus affecting all of our lives.  See what I did there?  

     In closing, remember to keep yourself and others around you safe, but remember that this is not a flesh eating zombie virus that many news outlets are making it to be.  And it is not, and will never be, political, no matter who’s side you may be on.  In my extensive schooling and ongoing education of emergency medical training there was never a chapter or lesson based on a virus’ strength due to who was in the Oval Office.  The correlation between the two is simply ludicrous and an attack on the general intelligence of the citizens of our great nation.  So call us today for your spring cleaning of algae and mold (and COVID-19) and remember “No one is better with water than a Firefighter on his day off”.
