Considering the inevitable leaks, it would take an enormous compressing
fan to blow the roof off. (Your shop vac turned around wouldn't make
that pressure in a house.) I'm thinking of a fan something on the order
of 500 watts to 1KW. I'm not sure what pressure differential that would
create in a tight house, but I suspect it would be enough to do some
cleaning.
