Roofs

Roof mold over time can become detrimental to your home. Allow us to explain, not only how the fungus changes the color of your investment but how dark saprophyte causes the physical shingles to soften and break down due to the absorption of radiant heat which in turn traps and retains heat in the attic area of the home. In addition, this spore producing organism will cause mold run off. When it rains the mold as well as the shingle matter that breaks down will run off the roof line and soffits and cause a dark drip stain pattern along gutters and flashing. Sometimes, if unattended, it will prematurely cause damage on the painted area leading to a repaint!

While cleaning all roofs we use a soft spraying chemical/soap tip nozzle. This nozzle has a large oval orifice hole which disperses a spray pattern that is wider and lighter than a garden hose. The chemical is applied multiple times depending on how soiled the roof is. The chemical tip is retained throughout the cleaning process, especially during the fresh water washout procedure (no chemical soap is used in the water stream). This process removes the chemical residue and dead fungus from your roof and use of a light pattern spray avoids any further grit removal from the shingle. The granules found on the shingle are used to maintain the shingles shape and protection as well as reflecting the sun’s UV rays. Although manufactures state that granule loss is normal during rain fall, we do not believe in speeding up the process with water pressure any stronger that what the chemical tip provides.

When complete, the roofs’ color and cleanliness will once again be restored bringing an extended life to your expensive investment. We will be happy to provide you with a quote upon your request!
