Cleaning & Growth Profile
Spotswood Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Spotswood
Bird droppings concentrate around ridge lines, valley outlets, and any flat roof section. Uric acid in bird waste is aggressive towards cementitious materials and tile coatings — it accelerates surface degradation on the most exposed sections of the roof.
Why It Happens
Downpipe outlets become progressively more restricted as roof wash-off accumulates at the base of the downpipe — particularly at the bend at ground level. A roof clean that doesn't flush the downpipes properly transfers the blockage from the gutter to the downpipe, which is harder to clear.
How We Fix It
On roofs with a significant biological load, we recommend a re-inspection at 12 months after the initial clean. The first clean removes the bulk of the growth but some deep-rooted lichen may require a second treatment once the inhibitor has had time to work on residual rhizoids.
