Ever since it was first built, your roof has been subjected to constant exposure from the elements. These include the harmful UV radiation of the sun, all the way to wind, rain, snow, dust, and debris. However, even more insidious is the onslaught of certain organic contaminants.
Gloecapsa Magma, for instance, is a common type of algae that is directly responsible for the ugly dark stains on your roof. The spores of this algae species can spread very rapidly through the air. If one house in your neighborhood has this problem, the odds are that sooner or later, you will have to grapple with an infestation too. Many people may see these stains as a mere aesthetic nuisance. However, that is certainly not the case because it thrives in shady and moist places on your roof where it can do a lot of permanent damage.
Once its spores get inside the shingles, they will spread very rapidly to cover your entire roof. Since it needs and absorbs moisture to survive it will weaken the structure of the shingles and they will look like they have aged prematurely as they become brittle and crack easily. Even worse, most invasive algae species are a breeding ground for moss and lichen too. In a nutshell, without remedial action, you will have to pay for expensive replacement and repairs of your roof.
Professional Roof Cleaning Services Will Take Care of This Problem
If you want to extend the service life of your roof, you should hire an experienced professional pressure washing outfit for this job. This has a lot to do with the fact that roof cleaning is definitely not a DIY project. Only the real pros know just which pressure settings need to be applied to clean without causing damage.
If the water pressure is too high, it will remove the protective front layer of the shingles which will make them even more susceptible to another infestation. Apart from that, using powerful bleaching agents will scour your roof and strip it of its external color. The experts always know just which herbicides to use and at which pressure settings to eliminate the problem without damaging your roof.
