Katuspuhastus

Katuspuhastus is a service focused on cleaning and maintaining roofs. This process typically involves removing debris such as leaves, moss, algae, and other organic matter that can accumulate on roofing materials. The accumulation of such matter can lead to several problems for a roof, including reduced lifespan and potential damage to the underlying structure.

The primary goal of katuspuhastus is to preserve the integrity and aesthetic appeal of a roof. Moss and algae, in particular, can retain moisture, which can freeze and expand in colder climates, causing cracks and structural weakening. Over time, this can lead to leaks and more extensive repairs. Regular cleaning helps to prevent these issues.

The methods used in katuspuhastus vary depending on the type of roofing material and the extent of the buildup. Common techniques include manual removal with brushes and shovels, pressure washing (used with caution to avoid damaging shingles or tiles), and the application of specialized cleaning solutions to kill moss and algae. In some cases, professionals may also inspect the roof for damage during the cleaning process.

Beyond the immediate benefits of debris removal, katuspuhastus can also improve the energy efficiency of a building. A clean roof reflects more sunlight, which can help keep the attic cooler in the summer and reduce cooling costs. Furthermore, a well-maintained roof contributes to the overall value and curb appeal of a property.
