Is It Time To Have Your Roof Cleaned?
Everyone realizes the value in maintaining their property, both for longevity and appearances. Most of the systems in your home give an indicator that they need some sort of maintenance. For example, the air blowing out of you’re a/c system may not be as cold as before, or the light on your garage door motor may blink an indicator light. The same is true of your roof. As one of, if not the, largest surface on your property your roof has a very obvious warning sign that it needs cleaning. It looks dirty. While that may seem obvious, the truth is that the appearance of black streaks and patches on your roof is a pretty serious alarm bell that merits prompt attention.
What Your Roof Is Telling You
It is important to keep in mind that your roof is constantly exposed to the elements. Here in Wilmington, NC that means humidity, precipitation, and heat. Not only do these elements create a great breeding ground for mold and algae, but also for a particularly voracious bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. This bacteria literally eats the limestone filler present in modern day shingles. Over time your shingles won’t be able to repel water the way that it used to as small holes and fissures open up, allowing water to penetrate your roof. This can lead to costly repairs and even an expensive roof replacement. There are signs that this may be happening to your roof and that roof cleaning service should be scheduled sooner, rather than later.
Know The Signs That You Need Roof Cleaning
How do you know if these bacteria are on your roof? The first and most obvious sign is the presence of those black streaks and patches we mentioned earlier. Those black streaks are not dirt, they are large communities of the bacteria that are steadily munching their way across your roof. If left unchecked you’ll start to notice another sign that your roof is under attack – higher energy costs. As more and more of your roof is covered in black streaks and patches it starts to absorb more heat than it repels, leading to higher temperatures in the home and therefore higher energy costs to cool your home. If you have one or more of these signs than it is time to call Pro Pressure Washing. Our soft wash roof cleaning service is just what the doctor ordered to get your roof back on track.
