Shingle Clean

cteria and fungus. Moss and lichens also abound and are the final bad actors that show up after the party has been started by the fungal growths. These algae, molds, mildews, bacteria, lichens and mosses directly decompose and break down roofing materials. Much of the organisms on a roof are there because of the warm, moist environment a roof creates, especially on the north and west sides of a roof. Microorganisms populate fastidiously, growing so well that they begin to be noticeable to the human eye. Many roofing surfaces are made with materials that can be metabolized by the microorganisms. Shingles now contain limestone as filler mixed into the aggregate of the shingle. Many of the algae, mildew and bacteria’s utilize this limestone as the base nutrient of their roof ecosystem and begin to feed on it. We can clean and remove them all!!!
