A dirty roof doesn’t just look bad—it can cause serious damage if left untreated.
The Problem with Black Streaks and Algae:
Caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a black algae that thrives in humid climates like Sanford’s.
Traps moisture on shingles leading to rot and shortened lifespan.
Can void shingle manufacturer warranties if ignored.
Risks of Moss and Mold:
Moss retains moisture and can lift shingles, causing leaks.
Mold can spread to soffits and fascia, damaging your home’s exterior.
Safe Cleaning Methods:
Soft washing uses low pressure with eco-friendly detergents to kill algae at the root.
Avoid harsh pressure washing that damages shingles and voids warranties.
Cost vs. Replacement:
Regular roof cleaning costs a fraction of the price of roof replacement—saving thousands over time.
