What Can Be Up There On My Roof That Needs Cleaning?

Many homeowners tend to forget that a roof is just like any other part of the house.

With four seasons to go through every year and other external components that a house endure on a daily basis, it is only fair to consider taking care of your roof more and more.

After all, a roof keeps you from being exposed to UV rays or acid rain – even keeping you from being a target of birds flying around. Most of all, it protects you and your house as a whole from any other elements coming from the outside.
Now, here are some things that can be found on your roof – which needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible before further degradation:

1. Algae: Also known scientifically as Gloeocapsa Magma, this is a kind of algae often found on a house with asphalt roof. It causes unsightly stains that make your house seem old and grimy. As commonly as it happens to most house types, it is still considered as one of the main factors why your roof is quickly degrading.

2. Moss. Small flowerless plants that usually grow in dense green clumps or mats, in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple, one-cell thick leaves, covering a thin stem that supports them but does not conduct water and nutrients

3. Lichens. A lichen is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria (or both) living among filaments of a fungus in a mutually beneficial relationship
