If your roof is — or is starting to look — dirty, stained or streaky, it’s not just a cosmetic issue. Black mold, moss, and lichen can damage paint, degrade tiles, and shorten your roof’s lifespan. We clean it the right way — with low-pressure, long-lasting treatments that won’t cause costly damage.
At Surface Rescue, we offer safe and effective softwash roof cleaning and roof treatments across Adelaide for both tiled and metal roofs.
A low-pressure application designed to break down mold, dust, grime, and general organic build-up. Great for improving appearance with same-day results.
This is a slow-release treatment that targets stubborn lichen growth. Lichen has a root system that embeds into surfaces — especially on tiled roofs — and pressure washing risks cracking tiles or forcing water into the roof cavity. Our method breaks it down safely over time.
Often found on shaded roofs or homes surrounded by trees. Causes dark streaks or patchy staining and accelerates roof degradation if left untreated.
Spongy and moisture-retaining, moss thrives in wet or shaded areas. It looks bad, causes slip hazards on walkable roofs, and leads to water retention issues.
Tough, crusty growth made of fungus and algae. Lichen roots itself deep into roof surfaces — especially porous tile or old coatings. If left untreated, it can eat through paint and into the surface itself.
High pressure can crack tiles, damage pointing, or force water into ceiling cavities. Softwashing avoids all of that.
Our cleaning solutions kill the mold at its root, not just blast it off the surface. You get a properly sanitised roof that resists future growth.
Unless you're repointing and painting, there’s no need to bring in the big guns. Softwash gets the job done without the potential heavy-handed damage that can come from high pressure washing.
The hose and a broom aren’t enough — and pressure washers are a risk not worth taking. We use a blend of purpose-built cleaning solutions & high volume-low pressure spray equipment to do the job right. It’s faster, safer, and the results actually last.
