Roof Clean USA hits # 1 on Google first page for GA Roof Cleaning

He was in Tampa....2009
I was "On Vacation" then :sarcastic:
Heres a great article about roof cleaning for all us guys, maybe some of you have already seen it ?
Great material for a roof cleaning blog or website :thumbup2:

<TABLE border=5 cellSpacing=5 cellPadding=5 width="80%" bgColor=#ff9999 align=center><TBODY><TR><TH scope=col>ALL ABOUT ROOF CLEANING
by Dr. Victor H. Morgenroth

</TH></TR><TR><TD>Dr. Morgenroth is a Keys Gate resident who is a semi-retired, adjunct professor of neurology at UM. He was a principal administrator in the Environment Health and Safety Division of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for 20 years; prior to that I was a Group Leader in the Toxicology Division at the Center for Food Safety and Nutrition in the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Previously, he was on the faculty of several medical schools in neurology, pharmacology and psychiatry.

</TD></TR><TR><TD>Having your roof cleaned actually makes sense. I know most of us were slightly put out by receiving a roof cleaning notice from the Keys Gate Management Association. Although it read a little like an ultimatum and you probably wondered who the inspector of your roof was and what their qualifications were, it turns out that roof cleaning is not a bad idea at all.
It isn’t just aesthetics. While people like to say that dirty roofs lower a property’s value and may make it hard to sell, the “dirt” on a roof actually shortens its life span and can even present a health hazard. Furthermore, the “dark stains” on a roof act as a sponge to absorb the sun's heat, which causes a rise in the temperature inside a home or building, creating higher air conditioning bills.
The dirt isn’t just dust – It’s alive. Some of the black or very dark roof stains are caused by a resilient type of algae, Gloeocapsa magma (a type of blue-green algae commonly found in climates with warm, humid summers). The algae grow in standing water, as well as in our lakes and ponds. The algal spores are carried to our roofs from the water sources by the wind and birds, and then from roof to roof where it grows and feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and the real dirt on tile roofs maybe in some cases the tiles themselves. Worse still, as the algae grow, they retain water and foster the growth of other roof inhabitants.
The black stains are also very likely to harbor a number of molds or fungi. Unlike algae the fungi on our roofs lacks chlorophyll. They are unable to manufacture food from raw materials. So, it must get nutrition from some form of organic matter. To thrive, these heterotrophs, who used to be called saprophytes, also require a warm, humid environment.
Fungi normally begin their life cycle as an airborne spore that settles on roofs, especially the asphalt-shingle ones. The spores on the northern exposure of the roof stand a better chance of survival because that portion of the roof is the last part to dry after a rain or morning dew. This raises the humidity on the surface of the shingle, thus creating a perfect feeding and breeding ground.
The tar used in roofing is fossilized, dead organic matter -- and an important food source for fungi. Asphalt, at the granule base, is normally consumed first. Once these granules dislodge, accelerated deterioration will occur. Ceramic granules represent the outer hard shell that protects against hail and other falling debris. Ceramic granules protect against damaging UV radiation and insulate the roof against extreme heat. So you can understand that their dislodgement by the growing fungal colonies can be detrimental to our roofs’ longevity. Surprisingly, the blue-green algae are also food for the fungi.
While not all mold (fungi) and algae pose a health danger, some are harmful, especially for us older folks, younger children and people who suffer from asthma and respiratory problems. Their spores, which are on your roof, can get inside your home because they end up on the driveway and walkways from rain, and are easily tracked inside. They can even be drawn into our air conditioning systems and eventually populate our ducts.
Different mold species can have varying health effects, but it is important to remember that any excessive mold growth needs to be taken care of, regardless of the species. Any excessive mold growth can lead to increased allergies, toxicity, and house/building structural problems.
For those interested, this box describes some of the most common fungi likely to be found on our roofs and their possible health effects. While “sick building syndrome” has been talked about frequently in the media, it isn’t always reported that this syndrome is often caused by faulty or leaking roof assemblies that result in fungal infestations. It isn’t, as reported, always due to chemicals in carpeting.
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=483 align=center height=2156><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width=443>Don’t Panic!
Most of us have immune systems that are fully capable of resisting the effects of fungi described below. As a result it would be highly unlikely for any of us to suffer any of the ill effects described. But if fungal colonies are allowed to persist and multiply then the high concentrations of the molds and their volatile organic chemical metabolites might be sufficient to increase the risks from our exposure to them.
Stachybotrys chartarum (atra) molds can thrive on water damaged, cellulose-rich material in buildings such as sheet rock, paper, ceiling tiles, insulation backing, wallpaper, etc. In the majority of cases where Stachybotrys is found indoors, water damage has gone unnoticed or ignored since it requires extended periods of time with increased levels of moisture for growth to occur. Stachybotrys is usually black and slimy in appearance. Events of water intrusion that are not addressed quickly tends to support the growth of more xerophilic fungi such as Pencillium and Aspergillus.
Stachybotrys is another fungi that has the ability to produce mycotoxins, ones that are toxic and can be immunosuppressive. Exposure to these mycotoxins can result through inhalation, ingestion, and dermal exposure. Symptoms of exposure include dermatitis, cough, rhinitis, nose bleeds, cold and flu-like symptoms, headache, general malaise, and fever.
The Cladosporium genera of mold are pigmented dark green to black in the front, and black on the reverse with a velvety to powdery texture. One of the most commonly isolated from indoor and outdoor air, Cladosporium spp. are found on decaying plants, woody plants, food, straw, soil, paint, textiles, and the surface of fiberglass duct liner in the interior of supply ducts.
There are over 30 species in the Cladosporium genus. The most common are C. elatum, C. herbarum, C. sphaerospermum, and C. cladosporioides. These fungi are the causative agents of skin lesions, keratitis, nail fungus, sinusitis, asthma, and pulmonary infections. Acute symptoms of exposure to Cladosporium are edema and bronchiospasm, and chronic exposure may lead to pulmonary emphysema.
Aspergillus is the most common genus of fungi in our environment (it especially likes to grow on corn plants) with more than 160 different species of mold. Sixteen of these species have been documented as causing human disease. Aspergillosis is now the 2nd most common fungal infection requiring hospitalization in the United States.
Aspergillus fumigatus. The most encountered species causing infection. It is seen abundantly in decomposing organic material, such as self-heating compost piles, since it readily grows at temperatures up to 55 C. People who handle contaminated material often develop hypersensitivity to the spores of Aspergillus and may suffer severe allergic reactions upon exposure.
Aspergillus flavus. The 2nd most encountered fungi in cases of Aspergillus infection. It is also known to produce the mycotoxin aflatoxin, one of the most potent carcinogens known to man. In the 1960s, 100,000 turkey poults in Great Britain died from ingesting contaminated feed. Most countries have established levels for aflatoxin in food. However, the risks associated with airborne exposure are not adequately studied and no exposure standards exist.
Aspergillus niger. The 3rd most common Aspergillus fungi associated with disease and the most common of any Aspergillus species in nature due to its ability to grow on a wide variety of substrates. This species may cause a “fungal ball”, which is a condition where the fungus actively proliferates in the human lung, forming a ball. It does so without invading the lung tissue.
Fusarium spp.,common soil fungus and inhabitant on a wide array of plants, this fungi is often found in humidifiers and has been isolated from water-damaged carpets and a variety of other building materials. Human exposure may occur through ingestion of contaminated grains and possibly through the inhalation of spores. Fusarium spp. is frequently involved with eye, skin, and nail infections.
Several species can produce the trichothecene toxins which target the circulatory, alimentary, skin, and nervous systems. Vomitoxin is one such tricothecene mycotoxin that has been associated with outbreaks of acute gastrointestinal illness in humans. Zearalenone is another mycotoxin produced by Fusarium. It is similar in structure to the female sex hormone estrogen and targets the reproductive organs.
Penicillium fungi are commonly found in soil, food, cellulose, grains, paint, carpet, wallpaper, interior fiberglass duct insulation, and decaying vegetation. Penicillium may cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, asthma, and allergic alveolitis in susceptible individuals.
The genus Penicillium has several species. The most common ones include Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium janthinellum, Penicillium marneffei, and Penicillium purpurogenum.
These fungi have been isolated from patients with keratitis, ear infections, pneumonia, endocarditis, peritonitis, and urinary tract infections. Penicillium infections are most commonly exhibited in immunosuppressed individuals.
In conclusion, during the digestion of substrates, fungi secrete enzymes into nutrients in order to break down complex compounds into simpler compounds that can be taken up by the fungi and used as nutrition. These digested nutrients produce secondary metabolic byproducts called mycotoxins that are released to give the fungi a competitive edge over other microorganisms and fungi. Unfortunately, mycotoxins can also be toxic to humans causing a variety of responses including cold/flu-like symptoms, sore throats, headaches, nose bleeds, fatigue, diarrhea, dermatitis, and immune suppression. Some mycotoxins may also be carcinogenic and teratogenic. Molds that have been known to potentially produce these toxins are Acremonium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys.
Even though these molds may potentially produce mycotoxins, they will not do so unless specific environmental conditions exist. Currently, it is unknown exactly what conditions promote the growth of mycotoxin production and more scientific research needs to be conducted on this topic for it to be fully understood.

Dave around Still
I hear he was really sick Ron, with severely burnt lungs from cleaning so many roofs.
I suffer from the same problem, my Lungs are damaged from all the roofs I have cleaned.
Larry Millette don't breathe so well either, he says.
It is my opinion, that either with, or w/o a respirator, chemical roof cleaning can be hazardous to your health.
 
Roof Cleaning Brothers,

I hope to encourage the newbie roof cleaner by writing this article.

If your new to non pressure roof cleaning, stick around, its a great profession and one that is a lot of fun as well as pays the bills!

Sometimes you can't put a face with the name and we think someone is super human to achieve top of the heap, SEO rankings for their roof cleaning business.

Well I am here to tell you that Roof Clean USA was built from scratch and if I can do it, you can to!

I am just an average guy with no super duper degree in computer science or any other super special roof cleaning "magic".

I just decided long ago, that what I couldn't make up in strength or good looks, I would make it a POINT to make up in working smarter and harder, for longer
periods than most others are willing to put in the time to do.

I am David Westerman, and I am a ROOF Cleaner's, Roof Cleaner, just like you.

But, like you, with a lot of sheer guts and determination and willingness to LEARN, I have achieved things some others, most others, only DREAM about.

It's all about a word I call "STICK-To-IT-ive-Ness"

You can do anything I have been able to achieve. Believe it and YOU CAN achieve it.

I am writing this to encourage all of you that you can do this too!

Roof Clean USA #1 has ACHIEVED a written GOAL that was , at first just a DREAM.

We have just recently moved up, starting from page 16 to....

Being on FIRST page of Google for GA Roof Cleaning !

We did this organically.

By sheer determination.

Our GOAL of ranking highly without the use of high cost SEO black hat magic, thru creative writing and online consistency, is now a reality.

To make it clear, this #1 ranking is not for our business name, Roof Clean USA which is easy to do.

But for the Keywords for our state :

Type in GA ROOF CLEANING in Google Search and we should be ON top.

Hopefully you see this too or I am going to be a little embarrassed?
emote.img


If you do see this then you understand the reason for this shameless self promotion. I work extremely hard to get there!

To rise in the SE rankings for our entire state it has taken a lot of late nights , early mornings and typing till I am blue in BOTH the fingers and "rear end" from sitting for long periods, reading up on SEO and writing in my blogs about my experiences in the pressure cleaning and roof cleaning cleaning sector.

(I would rather be cleaning roofs! but Rome wasn't built in a day!) More business will eventually come.

A hint on how I did it? Commitment to Consistency CREATES FIRST PAGE ranking for GA ROOF CLEANING

Now we just need to get the non preesure roof cleaning work coming in every day, not sporadically.

Being in a smaller demographic and coming from a much larger one.

It is still hard to get use to 24,000 homeowners in my town vs. 2.4 million of them

Its the TRADE OFF........ for the MAGIC WORDS : Quality OF LIFE.

Traffic in my small town stops at 11pm weekends, 9pm weekdays.

The lifestyle is slow, but predictable. Yes, I am still struggling to get work, just like most of you are.

And no, we don't do the roofs like we could do in a major metro area, we don't sit in traffic for 2-3 hours just getting from and to roof cleaning jobs which was never fun

I have been working on where I am at now, for my ENTIRE adult life. I didn't know 25 years ago, the lessons and sacrifices and challenges I have personally had to overcome, financially and in terms of health to gain the non pressure roof cleaning, pressure washing, and soft wash , house washing knowledge I have overnight.

One thing, its good to know, for me and my company, Roof Clean USA in Thomasville, GA anyway, is that even though Roof Clean USA may be the largest of the roof non pressure cleaning operations in the USA, we are one of the finest, in terms of cleaning process and end result for the residential or commercial property owner.

Roof Clean USA takes extreme care and pride in preparing and properly cleaning EACH and EVERY property we EVER had the privilege and opportunity to perform roof cleaning, soft washing or hard area concrete surface cleaning work on.

We treat each and every customer like family and really do care about there needs and concerns. Roof Clean USA cleans roofs the way they should be cleaned, safely and using the latest equipment and technology to get the maximum roof cleaning result with minimal environmental impact . We take great care to protect, plants , landscape and do the beast pre-spray prep work and post cleaning cleanup we have ever seen in our roof cleaning industry.

That is what separates us from the "splash and dash roof cleaning cowboys"

If you are a homeowner reading this article, give us a call, and, if you are a new roof cleaner needing help or advice, shoot me a e-mail anytime and i will help where I can.:thank_you2:

I remember Dave had some dealings with people that didn't go over to well,..but then so did some other people around here.

Anyone can say what they want or have an opinion,...But either way,....Dave was one of,.if not the most knowledgeable people on these boards,.he knew more about finite details of roof cleaning and soft washing in particular and the tools to do the work than anyone else on here. He would go into a big long winded post and it would be just full of information. He is who brought the All-Flo pumps to the boards that many still use today,..and also the Kuri-Tec hose that is the choice hose for many. There were many other innovations he brought forth that are now common place and people don't even realize where or who came up with it.
Example: He knew so much about air compressors others weren't even thinking of at time,..things many on the boards t the time weren't even aware of.

His best posts were on the old RCIA board.
