Timely Care Can Save You Money
There are many things that can go wrong with your roof. One of the most common signs of the problem is staining caused by a bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. This is the main culprit for most of the roof staining throughout the US.
Other than bacteria, organisms like mildew and algae add to the trouble. However, they are not as destructive as some of the more aggressive bacteria and fungi. And fungi like moss and lichen are very common occurrences. These fungi can also contribute to the deterioration of your roof over time.
The good news is that these stains/microorganisms can be safely removed. We can help you remove unsightly roof stains with controlled roof soft washing.
Roof shingles are very fragile. That’s why our team is very careful while working. Want careful and meticulous roof soft washing service? We are just a call away.
The Importance of Roof Cleaning
Roof cleaning emerged as a new industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Initially, it was a basic cleaning process to remove black streaks on roofs. However, treating these streaks as organic infections with algaecides revolutionized the industry.
Bacteria and other microorganisms including mold, fungi, algae, mildew, lichen, and moss can accumulate on roofing surfaces and create black streaks. They thrive in warm and moist environments and can be metabolized with certain roofing shingles. It’s essential to be aware of this bacterial growth as it can not only cause damage to your roof but also cause harmful toxins to reach the inside of your home, potentially affecting you and your family.
How Shingle Deterioration is Caused
The growth of fungi and algae on a roof possesses root systems that can harm shingles by causing lifting, spreading, and decomposition. Additionally, various external factors, including erosion from natural elements or alternative roof cleaning methods, can also contribute to roof damage. Below is a deeper look into shingle deterioration:
- Shingles deteriorate because of waste created by bacteria metabolization.
- Excess heat caused by the darkening of shingles deteriorates them.
- Algae and fungi are attracted to limestone which causes certain fillers to deteriorate.
- Shingles deteriorate because of decomposition from fungal filament root systems.
