If you’ve noticed the incredible outbreak of roof stains in your neighborhood you’re not alone. Roof stains are sweeping the Country in alarming proportion. Until recently, most of us thought all this ugliness was purely cosmetic. This however is not the case.
Fact: Up to 80% of the homes and businesses in will develop some type of roof problem caused by algae, fungus, moss, etc. The reason: Shingle formulas have changed dramatically over the years. Ingredients now used to make shingles are the favorite food of algae, moss, mold and fungi. Cheap fillers like wood chips, scrap paper, cardboard and limestone have replaced the high grade textiles, cotton, and most of all, petroleum. Shingle manufactures didn't anticipate the mess this would cause. Few saw it coming until it was too late.
Recent studies prove that shingles, wood shakes, even barrel tile are at risk from growing organisms that flourish on their surfaces. This means that algae, moss and fungus are consuming and destroying the roof. Until now, this wasn’t fully understood. Replacing the roof will not solve the problem. The stains come back again very quickly, even on a new roof. New shingles contain even more fillers than the older shingles do!
There’s no debate whether these organisms cause damage to your roof. It’s a fact that they do. Until the recipe for shingles changes, roof stains are here to stay. Most manufactures now make algae and moss resistant shingles containing copper granules. These products are expected to inhibit algae growth for at least 10 years. Better read the fine print carefully. Using these products could rot your gutters, down spouts and valley flashings. *The manufactures are not liable for damage to your home caused by these products. Copper is added to these new shingles to kill algae, but it also causes severe corrosion of gutters, downspouts, chimney flashings etc. The problem is electrolysis which occurs when two dissimilar metals come in contact. *Unless your gutters are made from copper or PVC you should not use these products. That rules out 98% of the homes in . *(see the manufactures warranty).
The recent housing boom will add a blizzard of complaints for shingle makers, and the people who install them. Fortunately, the cure for roof staining is affordable, and if caught in time it’s very easy to treat. We wouldn’t dream of replacing vinyl siding, decks, carpet, concrete or fencing just because it got dirty. We clean these surfaces regularly. Now, any roof can be safely cleaned using Roof Reviver™ Roof Cleaner. Roof cleaning, just like any home maintenance project, will become very common in the years to come.
