Local Owned Business - Serving Marion & Baxter County
Have you ever wondered what that black on your roof is? Many customers that we serve are unaware of what it is, or that it can be treated & removed. In fact, the black staining on roofs is due to the presence of a living organism - gleo capsa magma. This is a special type of algae, and the cause of those ugly black roofs!
Due to our climate in the lower part of the States, and the bodies of water that surround us, we are living in the most affected area for roof mold. This is green and black algae that attaches itself to your shingles, and uses the cellulose in them as food. To make matters worse, the mold is mostly attracted to the bits of limestone in shingles; which act as the reflective material for your roof. The result - a corrosive byproduct that is constantly deteriorating your roof! The longer it is left unchecked, the less effective your roof will be at keeping the heat off your home in the summer.
As well as a menace to your roof, this black mold is also a nuisance to your health. As you open the windows to let "fresh air" in, or your a/c unit is blowing in cool air, you are also breathing in all the mold spores that are just above your head! This definitely is a cause for heightened allergies in our area.
