Exterior Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Lucid Pressure Washing offer?
Lucid Pressure Washing provides professional exterior cleaning services including roof moss removal, roof demossing, softwash roof cleaning, house softwash cleaning, exterior house cleaning, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, downspout flushing, and window cleaning for residential and commercial properties.
​
What is the difference between pressure washing and softwashing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean hard surfaces like concrete and driveways. Softwashing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove moss, algae, mold, and organic buildup from roofs, siding, and other delicate surfaces without causing damage.
​
Is roof moss removal safe for my roof?
Yes. Our roof moss removal process uses low-pressure softwash techniques designed to remove moss at the root level without damaging shingles or roofing materials. Unlike pressure washing, this method does not strip granules or force water beneath the roof surface.
​
How often should roof moss be removed?
Most homes in Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley benefit from roof moss removal every 12–24 months. Factors such as shade, roof age, nearby trees, and local weather conditions can affect how quickly moss returns.
​
How long does roof moss removal take?
Roof moss removal typically takes 3–5 hours+, depending on roof size, pitch, and the amount of moss growth present.
​
Will moss come back after removal?
Moss can return over time due to moisture and shade. Our treatments eliminate moss at the root level and significantly slow regrowth. Routine maintenance helps keep your roof cleaner for longer.
​
Are your cleaning solutions safe?
Yes. We use biodegradable, environmentally responsible cleaning solutions that are safe for surrounding landscaping when applied correctly and in accordance with local regulations.
​
Do I need to be home during the service?
No. As long as we have access to the work areas and a water source if required, you do not need to be present during the service.

Will cleaning damage my siding, roof, or landscaping?
No. We use controlled, surface-appropriate methods and take precautions to protect siding, roofing materials, windows, plants, and surrounding property.
