Drone Roof Cleaning Services in the Greater Toronto Area

Protect Your Investment with AltitudeWash's No-Foot-Traffic Roof Cleaning. Safely Remove Moss, Algae, and Stains from Your Commercial Property

Safe, Modern Roof Cleaning for Toronto Properties

The roof is your building’s first line of defense against the harsh Canadian elements. However, the persistent growth of moss, algae, lichen, and black streaks (Gloeocapsa magma) is more than just an aesthetic issue—it can cause significant, long-term damage. These organisms retain moisture, accelerate the deterioration of roofing materials, and can even void your manufacturer’s warranty.

AltitudeWash provides a modern, zero-risk solution. As the premier provider of drone roof cleaning services in Toronto and the GTA, we use specialized drones to apply a gentle, effective cleaning solution without ever setting foot on your roof. Our process eradicates harmful biological growth, restores your roof’s appearance, and helps extend its lifespan, all while ensuring unparalleled safety and efficiency.

The Hidden Dangers of an Uncleaned Roof

For property managers and building owners, overlooking roof maintenance can lead to costly consequences. The climate in the Greater Toronto Area creates an ideal environment for organisms that can compromise your roof's integrity.

How it Works

Algae

Moss Growth

Acts like a sponge, holding water against the roof surface. This can lead to rot in the underlying sheathing and structural damage, especially during freeze-thaw cycles

algae

Algae and Lichen

Feed on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, dislodging the protective granules and accelerating wear. Lichen’s root-like structures can penetrate and create cracks in roofing materials

stain

Black Streaks (Gloeocapsa magma)

While primarily an aesthetic issue, these dark stains increase heat absorption, which can raise cooling costs in the summer

Warranty Invalidation

Many roofing manufacturers stipulate that damage caused by a lack of maintenance, including the failure to remove biological growth, is not covered under warranty

Our professional drone roof cleaning service directly addresses these threats, preserving both the function and value of your property.

Our Expert Drone Roof Cleaning Process

Our process is designed for maximum effectiveness and complete peace of mind.

1

Comprehensive Roof Assessment

We start by using high-resolution drone imagery to inspect your roof’s condition, identify problem areas, and determine the specific type of biological growth present. This allows us to select the perfect cleaning solution and provide a precise quote

2

Targeted Treatment Plan

Our team develops a custom flight plan that ensures every square meter of your roof is treated. We take care to protect surrounding vegetation and sensitive architectural elements before we begin

3

Precision Soft Wash Application

The drone applies our proprietary, eco-friendly soft wash solution. This specially formulated treatment kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root level and is designed to work over time with natural rainfall to gently wash away the dead organic matter

4

Post-Treatment Verification

After the application, we provide a detailed report confirming the treatment coverage. Over the following weeks, you will see your roof’s original color and clean appearance return as the rain rinses away the treated growth, leaving a clean and healthy roof.

What Customers Say About Us

Frequently Asked Questions about Drone Roof Cleaning

How long does it take to see results after a soft wash treatment?

The cleaning solution begins working immediately to kill all organic growth. While you will notice an improvement quickly, the full effect becomes visible over several weeks as natural rainfall washes away the dead moss and algae, revealing the clean surface underneath. This gentle, natural process is key to protecting your roof from damage.

Is the cleaning solution safe for my building's surroundings?

Yes. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly solutions. Our team takes proactive measures to protect all surrounding landscaping and building materials by pre-wetting plants and rinsing surfaces after the application is complete.

Will a drone roof cleaning extend the life of my roof?

Absolutely. By removing the moisture-trapping, material-degrading organisms from your roof, you prevent premature aging, rot, and decay. Regular cleaning is one of the most effective ways to maximize the lifespan of your roofing system and protect your investment.
