Signs Your Roof Needs Professional Washing
A dirty roof isn’t just an eyesore—it can lead to long-term damage if left untreated. Regular roof washing helps maintain your home’s curb appeal, extends the lifespan of your roof, and prevents costly repairs. Here are the top signs that indicate your roof needs a professional cleaning:
Black Streaks or Stains
If you notice dark streaks running down your roof, it’s likely caused by algae growth, specifically Gloeocapsa Magma. This airborne algae thrives in the hot and humid Texas climate, feeding on limestone in shingles and weakening them over time.
Moss and Lichen Growth
Moss and lichen not only make your roof look unkempt but also trap moisture, which can lead to shingle deterioration and leaks. If you see green or white patches on your roof, it’s time for a professional soft wash to prevent structural damage.
Roof Looks Dull and Dirty
Over time, dirt, dust, and pollution can cause your roof to appear faded or dingy. A professional wash can restore its original color and improve your home’s overall aesthetic.
Clogged Gutters with Granules
If you notice shingle granules or debris accumulating in your gutters, your roof may be deteriorating due to dirt buildup. A thorough cleaning can help slow down wear and tear while improving drainage. You can also request a consultation for Roof Maxx Application to help the remaining granules stay attached to the shingles and extend the life of your roof
