ROOF MOLD, MOSS & ALGAE DAMAGE


If you live in an area were high humidity is prevalent, then odds are you occasionally have to rid your roof of moss and/or algae. Similar roof stains include mildew, mold and lichen. And, regardless of the cause of any stains you see on your roof, those stains are telling you that your roof’s stability and effectiveness are being compromised. We recommend taking advantage of our free roof inspection should you notice any stains on any portion of your roof.

Most commonly found on west and north facing roof surfaces, these substances grow well in highly shaded areas where sunlight exposure is minimal. After a heavy rain, these west and north facing roof areas don’t dry as quickly as other more sunny parts of your roof and provide a prime breeding ground for moss and algae growth. Left untreated, moss and algae on your roof will hold more and more moisture, and consequently, accelerate the growth and spread of the stained look of your roof quickly, resulting in more and more damage to all roofing material.
