Roof Stains Are Unsightly & Costly If Left UntreatedThe black staining on your roof is a hardy species of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. First appearing on the North side or shaded areas eventually taking over the entire surface, these stains are a direct result of an airborne fungus. Mold, mildew require three elements to grow; moisture, heat, nutrients. Shingle roofs are manufactured with fungus fighting elements such as zinc and copper granules added to the colored ceramic granules to fight off this growth has proven to be ineffective in sub-tropical areas such as Florida. After only a few years, your roof slowly looses these elements and stains begin to appear. In most cases it can shorten the life of your roof by as much as 5 to 7 years. The black staining which is a direct result of FUNGUS growth causes increased roof temperatures causing the roof to expand and contract therefore increasing granule loss. Higher attic temperatures, increasing A/C consumption. Excerpt from a bulletin posted by the EPA"SICK BUILDING SYNDROME" Mold and Mildew: Roofs, Air Conditioning, water leaks ceilings, behind walls and under carpets can lead to Allergies, ear, eye, nose and throat irritations. Infections, viruses (only to name a few) What Can Be Done?
Clean your roof immediately. Once your roof begins to stain, it will spread rapidly, resulting in a major loss of your roof's life. Other negative factors are allergic and respiratory reactions due to spores and mold, higher utility bills and heavier air-conditioning use due to the increase in roof temperatures. This encourages the roof to expand more than normal during the heat of the day and contract as the sun sets. Thus creating avenues for granule loss, once again shortening the life of your roof. For example, a roof that should last 25 years will last only 10 to 12 years if nothing is done. Cleaning with pressure, or any other unsafe method of fungus removal would only defeat the purpose of cleaning your roof. What Roof-Bright Can Do For You!
