Roof Cleaning for Your Columbus Home

Professional roof cleaning eradicates harmful algae and bacteria and protects against rot-causing animal droppings and caustic organisms that can damage your Columbus home's shingles, allow water to penetrate, and eat-away at your expensive roof. Your house's roof isn't just there for display, it protects your home from external damage and adds an extra layer of security. Since they serve as a shield against the elements, it's common for roofs to get damaged by the growth of various fungi and plants.

If you notice black streaks all across the shingles, it's an indication of algae growth. The organism thrives in hot temperatures and humidity, spreading out on the surfaces as it grows. Excessive algae growth not only feeds off the moisture but also makes the shingles on your roof unstable. Thus, your roof suffers not just visually with the appearance of black streaks but also sustains structural damage.

Lichen is another organism that affects the appearance of your roof. The slow-growing plant creates a crusty layer on the roof and reaches deep within the roofing composition to form stains and pock-marks. Roof moss also causes considerable damage to the roof's structure and appearance, causing it to deteriorate.

Such unwanted growths can be treated through professional roof cleaning and inspection. Cleaning experts apply a carefully prepared chemical mixture onto the roofing surfaces that kills these organisms and prevents them from growing further. Having your roof professionally cleaned also enhances the curb appeal of your home, making it appear more beautiful.
