Increased Curb Appeal
If you plan to sell your house, getting your roof cleaned is one of the easiest ways to increase its curb appeal and improve its resale value. Even if your roof is still in good shape, dirt may put off potential buyers, making them think you haven’t maintained your roof, and it needs replacement.
It’s essential to invest in professional roof cleaning to keep your roof in good shape and improve the overall value of your house.
No Expensive Repairs or Replacements
Professional roof cleaning prevents roof problems such as mold, algae, and mildew that could lead to expensive repairs or replacements. The cost of professional roof cleaning is just a fraction of the cost of roof replacement. Regular cleaning extends your roof’s lifespan, saving you a lot of money on repairs and replacements.
Common Signs That You Need Roof Cleaning
There are several signs that it could be time to clean your roof. Ignoring these signs may damage the structural integrity of your roof and your home’s overall value.
Algae
Algae, known as Gloeocapsa magma, most prevalent on the north side of the roof due to sun exposure, causes unsightly black stains and streaks on your roof. If you don’t invest in professional cleaning, algae can create “hot spots,” which absorb rather than reflect the sun’s heat. This added heat absorption can undermine your home’s energy efficiency and even damage the roof over time.
Mold
If you notice black, brown, or dark green blotches on your roof, you’re dealing with mold. Moisture deposits are the primary cause of mold growth on roofs. Besides ruining your home’s curb appeal, mold can compromise your roof’s structural integrity over time.
Mold can also have adverse effects on your health. Don’t hesitate to call a professional roof cleaner when you notice mold on your roof.
Mildew
A poor drainage system can lead to the development of mildew on your roof. The black, light grey, or pink powdery substance can have a detrimental impact on your roof’s structural integrity and your health. Mildew spreads faster than other harmful growths, so it’s essential to remove it right away.
Moss and lichens
The appearance of moss and lichens is another sign that it’s time for roof cleaning. Moss and lichens are both green, but moss has a fuzzy texture while lichens appear as circles. After digging into roof shingles, these growths anchor in, which accelerates roof deterioration.
Damp weather and humid temperatures often promote the growth and spread of moss and lichens. Lichens and moss can cause extensive roof damage that often leads to internal water damage. This water damage can promote mold growth in your house. If you notice spots of moss or lichens on your roof, you should have them cleaned right away.
