Green and black algae stains on roofs are common in Florida due to the humid climate.The cause of these stains varies, including mold, mildew, dirt accumulation, and many other causes. Although these stains do not destroy your roof, they negatively affect your home’s overall appearance. Here are a few things you can do to prevent these stains from growing on your roof.
Invest In Algae Resistant Shingles
Algae resistant shingles are worth investing in.These shingles contain copper granules that help prevent the growth of algae. If it’s time to replace your roof, make sure you ask about algae resistant shingles.
Use Soft Chemicals to Remove Algae
There are a variety of soft chemicals that can be used to remove all types of algae stains. Soft chemicals are better to use on your roof than harsh chemicals because harsh chemicals can strip your roof’s material and permanently damage shingles. Instead of getting on your roof and risking serious injury, Kleanway Pressure Cleaning will do the job for you. Harsh and corrosive chemicals are not used, which helps preserve your roof for many years to come.
Schedule Routine Maintenance and Cleaning Services for Your Roof
One of the best ways to prevent algae, mold, mildew and other instances from growing and thriving on your roof is routine maintenance and cleaning services at least two or three times per year. In Florida, residents have to clean their roof more often than residents living in other states due to Florida having the perfect breeding weather for algae, as well as, bacteria. Schedule maintenance for your roof before cleaning services because it’s best to have the necessary repairs made before cleaning takes place. This helps avoid further damage to a roof that needs major or minor repairs.
Can I Remove Algae Stains Myself?
Unless you have the training and skills to properly make repairs and clean your roof, it’s best to let a professional get the job done. Hiring a professional roof cleaner is better than hiring a professional to make repairs to your roof after a DIY job, and another professional to clean your roof. You can get the desired results when you hire professionals. You no longer have to worry about making time for this project, and you have peace of mind knowing the job will be completed correctly in a timely manner when you hire Kleanway Pressure Cleaning professionals.
