walking on barrel tile roof?

Zach Maynard · SoftWash Systems Certified Applicator

AC has some great pictures about this in his modules.
We have no tile around here but I believe you are supposed to only step on sections where they overlap.

Excuse the crude picturework.

Yeah what Zach said also if you have small feet you can in between the tile or you can use an extension pole attach the sprayer to the tip and use it!

Hello all...I have a barrel tile roof booked for next week and I have a concern about walking on it. Most of the roof will be cleaned from a ladder but there is a built up peek in front of home that the main roof is wrapped around it in a U shape that I will have to walk on main roof to clean it. Also the back of the main roof is U shaped around a pool cage so I have to walk on that also. Can anyone help on the best way to walk on it without breaking tiles....below is an example of the type of tile I'm dealing with.

Here are some pix from the module....

Zach, thanks for the picture work.

Alejandro, I do plan on using my Unger Nlite extension pole to reach some of the roof.

AC, thanks for the pics from the module....when i start recovering from the start up investment i plan on taking the modules and going to Softwashapolooza January in Orlando.

Thanks for the diagram. When I was at the last couple softwashapalooza I never paid attention to tile roof cleaning. Of course I sold one this week. I think there is only one other guy in PA that has had training on cleaning a tile roof - and he is also softwash authorized. Thats the reason I got the job, because I told them I have experience cleaning tile roofs.
