Is Your Home Suffering From Ugly Roof Streak Syndrome??
Those ugly black streaks may be causing more damage then just...there goes the neighborhood!! These black stains on your shingle roof actually is a type of hardy, airborne algae that is living and feeding on your shingles!!
What does this mean to you?
This means that your roof is being eaten away. Your shingles are made with a limestone as a filler to give your shingles more weight to keep them from blowing up in a wind storm, but this algae that is floating around in the air finds this limestone quite tasty and fulfilling!! The algae lands on the roof and takes root there and begins growing and spreading across the roof until the complete roof looks a real mess! That's what you see from the ground but is actually happening is the algae is eating away at the shingles causing them to become full of craters that hold water and moisture which just the perfect drink for thirsty algae feeding on limestone!! As the algae spreads across the roof it continues to eat away at the roof causing the shingles to become thin, brittle, and less reflective to the suns rays.
So to sum up what is going on with those black spots on your roof?
Thinner shingles mean less protection from the element.
Premature costly roof replacement. $$
Over worked AC due to less reflective shingles. $$
Poor curb appeal and home valuation. $$
