Maintaining and Cleaning a Terracotta Tile Roof

When you need terracotta roof tile maintenance, call Acme Pressure Wash for a professional cleaning. Phoenix boasts many lovely Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean Revival buildings. The thick stucco walls, enclosed courtyards, and tile roofs typical of this architectural style keep things cool even in our hot Arizona climate. Protect your exquisite terracotta tile roof with professional pressure washing from Acme. 

Terracotta Roof Tile Maintenance

Long lasting and fire resistant, terracotta tiles add an old world charm to stone and stucco structures. The natural reddish hue of tile roofs complements the desert landscape and contrasts beautifully with blue skies. Terracotta roof tiles require very little maintenance. Cracked or broken tiles will need to be replaced from time to time, but the only other maintenance required is regular cleaning.

Maintenance Risks

Because they are somewhat fragile, it’s always best to hire a professional who knows how to clean terracotta tiles without breaking them. Terracotta tiles can crack and break under pressure—the individual tiles are not meant to support human weight. Professionals have the equipment to clean most roofs without access, but also know techniques to distribute their weight if they do need roof access.

Cleaning Terracotta Roof Tiles

When it’s time to clean your tile roof, call Acme Pressure Wash. Our professionals know exactly how much pressure to use and which water temperatures work best for cleaning and preserving terracotta tiles. Solvents and chemicals can damage your natural clay tiles. Our high tech pressure washing equipment uses only pure water—it’s the safest, most environmentally friendly way to clean. 

Benefits of Pressure Washing

Pressure washing will remove unsightly buildup from air pollutants, exhaust, dirt, and smoke. It also washes away efflorescence, the white stains left behind when natural lime in the clay reacts with air and rainwater. Pressure washing rids your roof of debris from insects, birds, and summer monsoons. It even eliminates health hazards like mold and fungus.

Importance of Cleaning Roof Tiles

Mold and debris can interfere with proper drainage, so it’s important to clean your terracotta tile roof on a regular basis. Acme not only offers professional pressure washing maintenance, we can also add a protective sealant finish to extend the lifespan of your tiles. Sealants help terracotta tiles resist stains and buildup, and also help prevent damage from sun exposure and weather.
