Is it time to get your roof and gutters cleaned? We can help!
If you notice black streaks or green moss growing on your roof, or your gutters are clogged with leafs, sticks, and other kinds of debris, then now is a good time to reach out before any major damage is done to your home!
Moss
When moss grows on an asphalt roof, the roots can spread under the shingles, damaging them and your roofs underlying materials. Moss can also add pounds of unnecessary weight to any material of roof, especially when wet. These damages and extra weight can lead to leaks and rot, turning what could be a simple roof cleaning into a very expensive roof repair or replacement project.
Algae
While the black streaks on your roof may not look like much, it can lead to some very serious problems if not kept in check. The algae on your roof collects and retains the moisture in the air around it, and absorbs the water on your roof when it rains. This can create an environment for mold and mildew, and can eventually lead to a rotting roof. Getting rid of this growth will keep your roof moisture free and allow your shingles to show their true colors!
Gutters
Gutters play a vital role in directing rainwater away from your home. Without them, water can pool up around your foundation, leading to leaks and cracks. By controlling the runoff of water from your roof, you can maintain a strong and dry foundation, while also keeping water off of patios and walkways, and avoiding the streams of water from eroding your lawn. Keeping your gutters and downspouts free of clogs from leafs, sticks, moss, and algae, is one simple way to keep your home healthy and problem free.
