Moss & Mold Roof Treatments
Depending on where you live, there are common issues that can impact the condition and longevity of your roof.
Some common problems that indicate it’s time to clean your roof are:
​
Algae
Do you see black streaks and stains on your roof? These may be from a form of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. Typically, algae first shows-up on the north side of a roof due to sun exposure. The result is hot spots that fail to reflect the sun causing issues with temperatures and higher cooling costs. These hot spots can also damage the roof significantly over time.
​
Mold
Mold is just awful. The best way to describe how it looks on your roof is dark colored blotches, often in green, brown, or black. Mold grows when moisture is deposited or absorbed, such as when your roof leaks or is vulnerable to condensation. Over a relatively short time, this moisture can foster bacteria and mold, which has negative repercussions on the integrity of the home and your family’s health. Prolonged exposure to areas infested with mold can cause serious respiratory illness and distress.
​
Mildew
If you notice a powdery substance on your roof, this may be evidence of mildew. Mildew is bacteria, like mold, that ranges in color from black to pink. This is typically caused by a poor drainage system and can have detrimental effects on your roof and health. Mildew spreads fast, even more quickly than other harmful growths.
​
Lichens and Moss
Lichens and moss can wreak havoc on your roofing, and often appear in green fuzzy patches or round green circles on the surface. Over time, these growths will take over and cover your roof causing deterioration and problems that may lead to damage. First, they dig into your shingles and stick like glue, exacerbating any weak spots and warranting a major roof repair or replacement. When you see a moss-covered roof, know that there is a good chance that it also leaks.

Gutter Clearing
According to the experts, the best time to clean your gutters are in the spring- before the heavy rain- and in the fall when there is an influx of leaves.

​
Some of the benefits and advantages of regularly cleaning your home’s gutters are:
​
Extending the Lifespan of you Roof
Did you know that routine cleaning of your home’s gutters can extend the lifespan of your roof? Think of the money that you could save in repairs over time. Gutters facilitate water flow that curbs ice dams in winter and prevents excess pooling during the rainy seasons, both which have detrimental impacts on your roof. Maintaining your gutters is a proactive step to take for basic home maintenance.
​
Prevents Basement Flooding
If your basement is wet or becomes flooded, it could be to do with your gutters. When gutters are blocked or leaking, the overflow of water can gather and pool in your basement, which will cause damage over time.
​
Increased Safety and Comfort
Regularly cleaning your gutters keeps away pests such as rats and mosquitoes, that like to nest in the troughs of your gutter system. Plus, cleaning eliminates the growth of mold and mildew around your home, which makes it a healthier place to be.
​
Increased Appeal
Sagging or clogged gutters can reduce the integrity of your home’s structure and negatively affect the aesthetics, as well. Protect your home’s curb appeal; take care of your gutters!
