DID YOU KNOW?
50% of roofs are replaced because they are dirty, not because of leaks.
Algae holds water within the shingles causing premature aging and rotting.
The dark stains and discoloration draws in more heat than the "clean" spots on the roof shortening the life of your roof.
Roof algae, once attached to a shingled roof, feeds on the dead organic matter used in the manufacturing process of the shingle.
The ugly black algae is organic, has a root system and requires professional attention!
Using a pressure washer on an asphalt shingle roof will blow granules off the shingles and lessen the longevity of your roof. This will also VOID YOUR ROOF WARRANTY!
Most of the roof cleaning chemicals that are sold at the bigger box stores and certain ones sold at other local suppliers, contain sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is widely used as a degreaser in many industries. Using a degreaser on something held together with a petroleum based product is probably not a good idea. It can, and probably will, degrade the asphalt holding the shingles together!
