St.Louis Roof Cleaning

Black fungus requires three things to grow: heat, moisture, and a nutrient. Nutrients can be found within the shingle themselves while other variables contribute to and hasten fungus growth. The north side of the roof is usually the first to exhibit staining because the moisture remains there longer. Add to that, the type, grade and manufacturer of the shingle, the age of the roof, the close proximity of trees, pool, or lake, how hot and humid the weather is and if there are leaves accumulating on the roof. Now, you have most of the answer to the question why your roof turns black.

If you do nothing, your 25-year roof will most likely last less than 15 years and your home will remain an unhealthy eyesore. You may even experience the wrath of your homeowners association. You can clean your roof yourself; a risky proposition, or you can hire a professional like St. Louis Roof Cleaning.

We have the experience, training and right products to know how to properly clean and maintain your roof. Our powerful, yet environmentally safe soap is used to dislodge the fungus so it can be easily flushed from your roof without damaging the integrity of the shingle. The sad truth is however, that once your roof has been cleaned, it will get stained again quicker, sometimes a lot quicker than it did the first time. This is because its fungus-fighting capabilities have been diminished over time. We can help you keep your roof cleaned and well maintained with our maintenance plan.
