Insurance Companies Can Cancel Your Policy due to a Dirty Roof

Did you know that insurance companies can potentially cancel your home owner’s policy if your Northern Virginia roof is dirty and dingy? Your insurance company can randomly inspect your home and often it is nothing more than a ‘drive by’ where the condition of our home, including the condition of your roof is reported back to the company.

Failing to properly maintain your Northern Virginia roof  by having it professionally cleaned could end up costing you more in homeowner’s insurance or worse, CANCELLATION of your policy. If you are cancelled for improper roof maintenance, you may have difficulty getting insured by another insurance company.

Why Insurance Companies May Cancel Your Policy over a Dirty Roof

Insurance companies believe that the black streaks and stains due to algae, fungus, moss, lichen colonies, etc. growing on your Northern Virginia roof can lead to further problems with the integrity of your roof.

Risk for The Insurance Company

Overtime, the growth of algae, fungus, moss, lichen colonies growing on your roof can break down the organic components of your shingle. Left untreated, it could require a premature replacement of your roof. Obviously, this is considered a “risk” for the insurance company, which could result in a potential claim against the policy. All of which could be avoided with proper care and maintenance of your roof  by having it professionally cleaned by a roof cleaning expert.

Why Roof Shingles Turn Black

Even if a roof has “fungus resistant shingles,” the fungus protection applied by the manufacturer can start to deteriorate within as little as 2-3 years after installation. After that, staining will begin to appear within six months.

If left untreated, the Algae and fungus growing on your roof shingles will leave behind black streaks and stains that will continue to spread across your roof.

Algae and fungi multiply by airborne microscopic spores and germinate. Roof algae and fungus feed on organic matter such as asphalt and decompose and will eventually destroy the material they feed off of.    

The Algae and Fungus Growth on Your Roof Could be Costing You Money 

When you have algae and fungus growth on your roof, the temperatures under your roof becomes hotter. This will increases your monthly AC costs. Studies have shown that there is a reduction of under-roof temperatures, anywhere from 10 – 20 degrees once roof algae and fungus have been removed by a professional roof cleaning service, such as ROOF REAL CLEAN.

Some home owners have seen utility savings of up to $20-$25 per month simply from having a professional roof cleaning.  You will also notice a difference in your electric bill if the change in your attic temperature reduces the temperature in your living space by just 3-4 degrees. The bottom line is that cleaning your roof actually saves you money!

Increased granule loss due to roof algae and fungus growth will also shorten the lifespan of your roof and if left untreated, will require you to replace your roof prematurely. The cost of maintaining your roof by having a roof cleaning will be a lot less than what you will end up paying to replace your roof!

Fungus and Algae Allergies

Algae, fungus and mold spores can be tracked into your home. This breeding ground could cause individuals with allergies some serious health problems.

How to Get Rid of Fungus and Algae on Your Roof

Everyone  seems to have a different opinion about how to get rid of roof algae and fungus growth. Some owners believe that roof cleaning utilizing high pressure is the best way to clean your roof. Nothing could be further from the truth!

High pressure wash can damage roof shingles and cause granule loss, shortening the life of your roof.  The granules on your shingles are your home’s heat-reflective protection. Granule loss is avoided by a low pressure wash roof cleaning such as the roof cleaning service offered by ROOF REAL CLEAN. 

The professionals at ROOF REAL CLEAN never use high pressure to remove the ugly black streaks and stains on your roof. They use a low pressure wash along with an eco-friendly and bio-degradable roof shampoo that won’t damage your shingle or the surrounding vegetation around your home. 

ROOF REAL CLEAN offers low pressure wash roof cleaning services in the following Northern Virginia cities:

Roof staining is a relatively new occurrence. Cutting back your tree or discontinuing the use of your fireplace will not prevent roof black streaks & Stains or correct an existing problem.  Algae spores are air-borne and are carried by the wind from house to house.  Algae grows in visible colonies when all the right elements are present, including:

• Limestone (Algae food)
• Humidity (Moisture)
• Sunlight

Why Some Roofs Have Roof Algae Growth and Others Don’t

The reason that some roofs have roof algae growth in the same neighborhood and some don’t is mainly due to the amount of sunlight hitting the roof. If a roof gets a lot of sun, the colonies burn up. It a roof gets minimum sunlight the colonies are unable to grow. Even the same roof can have some parts with roof algae growth and other parts with no growth at all.

Roof Moss is Dangerous to Your Roof

Roof moss is more dangerous as it will grow beneath the roof shingle, acting like a sponge after a good rain. If  roof moss is not removed by a professional roof cleaner, eventually it can break down the shingle and cause roof leaks.   Roof moss tends to build up on the North side of a home or where a roof is shaded for most of the day. 

Why You Need To a Professional Roof Cleaner

It is important that you have a roof cleaning professional remove roof moss or roof algae if you see it growing on your shingles. Roof algae and roof moss feed on the organic matter contained in your shingle.  The growth will break down the asphalt shingle causing the ceramic granules protecting the surface of the shingle to loosen and  fall off, which causes the shingle to deteriorate prematurely. 

If not treated, roof moss and roof algae growth will reduce the life of your roof, not to mention how unsightly roof streaks and stains  diminish your home’s ‘curb appeal.’ 

Cleaning Your Roof the Right Way

We are trained professionals at Roof Real Clean. We never use high pressure on your roof because it can damage your shingles. We clean your roof with  low pressure rinse along with a bio-degradable and eco-friendly roof shampoo. Our roof cleaning products are gentle on your roof, yet tough on removing unsightly streaks, stains, algae and moss.  Don’t make the same mistake many homeowners make and have your roof pressure washed by someone who doesn’t know what they are doing. 

ROOF REAL CLEAN will never:

• Use high pressure to clean your roof 
• Force water under the shingle 
• Scrub the roof with a harsh brush
• Dump bleach over the shingles

What are Lichen Colonies?

Roof Real Clean

Lichens colonies area type of fungus that grows with algae on roof shingles, forming a composite organism with crust-like growth. Lichens can penetrate deep into shingles and feed off of their organic oil base for nourishment. If the problem is not addressed, eventually lichen colonies will break down the organic components of your shingles and create dark spots or pock marks where they are  feeding.

Roof Real Clean

There are a variety of roofing materials available to choose from and some are better than others. You can re-roof with the same material you have on your roof now or you may want to find a better and more cost effective alternative. There are many new materials that are eco-friendly, more durable, longer lasting and that require less maintenance than what were even available  five years ago.

Before you take ‘the plunge’ and invest thousands of dollars in re-roofing costs,  you really need to consider the ’life-cycle cost’ of your roofing material. Though some roofing materials may require more out-of-pocket money than others, they require  less maintenance and are longer lasting, so you actually save money in the long run. For instance, asphalt composition roofing material might last you 20 years, but a metal roof can last you more than 50 years.

Maintaining Your Roof

Roof Real Clean

No matter what kind of roofing material you decide on, maintaining your roof is imperative because over time, actively growing algae, moss and lichen colonies will breakdown the organic components of your roof and cause it to deteriorate. Keeping your roof algae and moss free will extend the life of your roof and keep it always looking new.

Low Pressure Wash Roof Cleaning System

Roof Real Clean

We use a low pressure roof cleaning process that removes actively growing algae and moss from your roof with a non-harmful chemical, which not only removes unsightly stains,  it keeps them off!  Let the professionals at ROOF REAL CLEAN help you maintain your roof and remove those ugly stains today.
