Powerful, Efficient and Non-Abrasive Roof Cleaning is Here
Cleaning dirty, white "cool roofs" can be challenging, wasteful and introduce harmful chemicals into the local environment. In comparison, the RoofTec® roof cleaning system is a fast, safe and sustainable way to ensure your roof remains clean and waterproof for rooftop longevity.
This innovative cleaning method from Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance and Legend Brands introduces powerful, non-abrasive, rotating water jets that remove dirt, mold and mildew from the roof surface without the negative effects of power washing. Water conservation with RoofTec is extraordinary, using less than half the water of competitive systems and capturing wastewater almost instantly. The small amount of cleaning solution used is environmentally safe and the quiet, efficient operation makes it perfect for facilities requiring minimal disruption, like schools and healthcare buildings.
Water is heated to 120 degrees and infused with a detergent-free solution that’s earned the UL ECOLOGO Product Certification.
Dual cleaning jets inside the RoofTec power head rotate at 2500 RPM, continually inundating the surface with 2000 PSI of hot water pressure. The suspension solution captures particles of dirt, mold and mildew and helps flush them away.
A clean and capture hot water extraction process immediately vacuums the dirty water off the roof and into the truck.
Recaptured water passes through a three-stage filtering process before being discharged into the sanitary sewer.

What Is the Best Way to Clean and Prep a Roof Before Restoration?
Proper roof restoration prep follows a clear, proven sequence. Before any cleaning begins, a thorough roof inspection should be completed to assess the membrane, identify damaged seams and flashings and locate any saturated insulation. Cleaning the roof first can mask underlying issues that need to be addressed before restoration. Once the roof's condition is confirmed, a professional cleaning system like RoofTec® efficiently removes dirt, mold and mildew from the surface, revealing a clean substrate and, in many cases, allowing restoration to begin the same day. After cleaning, any necessary repairs are completed, drains and scuppers are cleared for proper drainage and the surface is allowed to dry fully. Where the substrate requires it, a primer is applied before coating.
A well-prepared surface ensures the restoration coating bonds correctly, extending the life of your roof and protecting your facility from costly repairs.
