@PhattyBarnett 10 месяцев назад

Hi Cody, Thanks so much for the info. I have a customer who is worried about us using SH on their metal roof here in the PNW because their roof is part of a 14,000 gallon rainwater catchment system. If we disconnect the downspouts, route the runoff to controlled area, and rinse the roof extremely thoroughly, do you have any concerns with using SH on a roof like this if they will be using it for capturing their drinking water?

Thank you, this was really informative. Can this service be used on a 15-year old metal factory-colored/painted roof that we unfortunately used a pressure washer to remove algae on it about 4 years ago? It looks powdery now and getting “dirty” again. Is it too late to use this product now to clean the algae forming again?

The washing company tried hard to sell us a "treatment" on their last visit.

First metal roof job I took I had no idea what to expect with the ribs. They are definitely much more difficult as far as multiple applications, applying from different angles, and the runoff with no gutters. I took this massive metal roof job and had no idea. It was 3 barns and they were huge. Took us 3 days cuz we didn’t know what we were doing. Done a bunch since then though and I’m not scared of them anymore lol

@kielandsiebold5596 2 года назад

Hey Joe I realize it was 3 months ago you commented but I saw you mentioned you’ve washed some metal roofs with out gutters. What do you do to make sure you don’t kill the customers grass with all of that run off? Decrease your SH mix, wash the grass before during and after?

@joeberner648 2 года назад

@@kielandsiebold5596 start spraying at the top of the roof and only do like the top 1/4 and let as much run down as possible. Then light sprays lower and lower letting as much run down as you can. Have a second person with a water hose constantly rinsing. I feel it’s easier to burn grass with gutters due to high concentrations in one area as opposed to spread out.

There's just not a lot of information on galvalume. And hard to tell the difference between galvanized or galvalume at least for me at this stage in the game. I've seen some suggestions on cleaning galvalume. Some say use a HW mix or DS and always rinse and pre wet surface. Others say never use SH, just use soap and a soft brush. And others just pass on those jobs altogether.
