I would  like to give an explanation as to why Northern Virginia is experiencing such a serious problem with algae, moss and lichen colonies (type of fungus that grows with algae on roof shingles, forming a composite organism with crust-like growth).

In the past, roof infestation of algae growth was concentrated primarily in Florida and the Carolina’s. However, in the past few years it has become a problem for homeowners all over the Mid-Atlantic Area. Some homeowners mistakenly believe the problem is due to poor workmanship or a defective shingle, which really isn’t the case.

The most common cause of roof stains is the growth of algae, lichen colonies or moss, which feed on the organic matter frequently found on roof surfaces (lime-stone). Typically, the portions of a roof that receive the least amount of sunlight are most likely to have roof stains. This is why some homes have roof stains only on one side of the roof, usually northern and/or western exposure.
