Your roof is a costly investment and F&S Pressure Washing can help you protect it. A large percentage of your home's visual appearance is the roof. A dirty roof may look like it needs to be replaced. Don't Replace It, Clean It.
Do you have black streaks on your roof?
The dark discoloration on your roof is caused by a species of algae known as "Gloeocapsa Magma", commonly called roof algae. This algae is transported through the air and its prevalent in all regions of the US, particularly in warm humid climates. Roof algae feeds on the limestone on your roof shingles causing premature granule loss and deterioration of your roof. Remember this algae is air-borne and it can spread from home to home, eventually infesting entire neighborhoods.
Q: Did you know that roof algae is costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars?
A: As your roof gets dirtier and those black streaks get bigger, your roof becomes less reflective and holds more heat. This causes your air conditioner to work harder to cool your house.
