Safe Roof Cleaning
Three common roof infestations and their
solution.
Before
After
The first common roof Infestation
 There’s a type of ugly algae that thrives in humid areas like
Florida. Gloeocapsa Magma is its name, and it has become more of
a problem in the last few decades because shingle-makers now use
limestone filler in the manufacturing process, which is good for
this destructive algae. Roof stains mean that your shingles are
being eaten, which can result in a shortened lifetime for your
expensive roof. If Gloeocapsa Magma grows over large areas of
your roof, it can affect your roof’s reflective properties, costing
you increasingly more in energy bills as it grows.
The second common roof infestation
Lichens are an admirably tough symbiotic organism made up of
two partners, typically an algae (usually a green algae or
Chlorophyta, less often a cyanobacteria) and a fungus (usually an
Ascomycete, occasionally a Basidiomycete). [2] The fungus (the
microbiont half of the lichens duet) obtains nutrients out of the
surface on which the lichens is growing (quite often stone).
 Lichens have such a good grip on the mineral granules that when
removing the lichens it brings some of the roof protective coating
along with it.

The third common roof infestation
 Moss is a plant species that grows really well in humid areas like Florida.
 As the moss thickens and grows on an asphalt shingle roof, it can raise the
shingles up (much like a jack under a car). When the shingles get risen it allows
water to go under the shingles causing the decking to rot and causing the roof
to leak. The raised shingles also cause problems when heavy winds are present
because they will catch the wind like a sail and this can cause shingles to be
torn/blown off the roof.
 A moss buildup on the roof causes more debris to get trapped on the roof. This
debris promotes water buildup which makes the roof at risk of much more
rotting and leaking.
 Moss can actually damage the asphalt shingle components, leaving it to break
down faster.
Do I have to replace my roof?
 Roughly 50% of roofs are replaced simply due to
their ugly appearance or premature deterioration
that could have been prevented. Replacing a roof is
very expensive and is sometimes not necessary.
 I’m here to bring you the good news that Spotless
REC has a safe, non pressure and inexpensive
process that kills the algae, cleans away the streaks
and restores the roofs to their proper condition.
