The Roof Wizard crew cleaned this brand new metal standing seam roof and metal wall panels on the US Coast Guard training center in Cape May, NJ today. The building is only 3 months old, but the Seagulls have started to roost and leave behind some nasty presents. The roof had a good amount of pooh on it, and was cluttered with bones and shells. The seagulls pose a large problem with the roofs on this base, as we have been cleaning other roofs here for the last four years regularly. The metal roof manufacturer requires the roof to be cleaned, or the Kynar paint finish warranty would be voided. We have four more metal roofs to do this summer and the birds never stop making a mess. For this particular building the contractor, from Minnesota, had the cleaning in his contract as a punch list item.
I also wanted to snap a pic of the non-penetrating roof anchor point we use on standing seam metal. It is in the last pic and just clamps to the high seam (Don't get confused with the pointed lightning arrest rod behind it).
Anyone who has attempted to clean bird poo off of a roof like this knows that pressure washing alone will not do the trick. There are a tremendous amount of diseases that can fester in that stuff... SoftWashing is definitely the only way to clean this kind of mess as it sanitizes the roofs at the same time.
Roof Wizard is always on top of their game! Nice work John.
