What's on my roof?
With its food source being the limestone filler in asphalt singles, Roof Algae (Gloeocapsa Magma) has successfully migrated north and is thriving in the humid climate of Michigan.
The build-up of dead algae creates a hardy protective "shell", fostering its rapid growth. Visible as dark streaks running down the roof.
Our cleaning process safely kills, disinfects and removes algae, moss, mold and mildew. Rinsing away years of discoloration and restoring to a like new appearance.
Neighbors appreciate it too
As with many homes, the roof-line makes up a large percentage of the visible part of a home. (visible from the street.) Many have noticed the problem but didn't know what it was, or where to turn.
-
ROOF algae gives a home or neighborhood that "run down" look. It also fools many into thinking they need to spend thousands for a new roof.
-
ROOF algae can infect a whole neighborhood, subdivision or condo community, detracting from the overall efforts to maintain an attractive and appealing environment.
Beyond Aesthetics
ROOF algae multiplies at a fast rate; the ROOT build-up retains moisture and works to dislodge the tiny granules that protect the shingles. The result is a shortened shingle life and a costly roof replacement.
The dark stains can also contribute to increased cooling costs by raising interior temperatures. This increased "heat cycle" also works to further deteriorate and reduce the life of the shingle.
Routine Maintenance
We caulk and paint our homes to protect and beautify, we landscape to make things look nice... If you have an outbreak of black streaks, moss, or algae, it detracts from your home.... Consider roof cleaning, Routine Maintenance.
