How To Know When It Is A Good Time To Clean Your Roof

Pictured above is a late stage roof cleaning that took place in Mount Dora.

Early Stage:

Over time, your roof will start to look like it has uneven coloring or even stripes on it. This is the early stage of mold growing on your roof. This might not be something that you immediately notice, but over time it will become more visible.

It is not recommended to clean your roof when it is in this stage because it doesn't benefit you much to clean it when it is strictly light topical mold.

Midterm Stage:

If you walk outside and see green mold or dark streaks very visible to the eye, that means you are in the middle. Your roof isn't super bad, but it's definitely got organic growth present.

At this stage, it is recommended to get a price to have your roof cleaned. Whenever you see these indicators, it means that the mold is now very established and will not only spread but start working on your roofing material, whatever that may be. Shingles get it the worst out of the big three roofing materials because the granules can become loose due to all the moisture sitting on the roof because of the mold.

This is a depection of a roof in an early stage of organic buildup.

Late Stage:

During the worst stage of organic buildup on a roof, it will be very obvious that it is covered in organic matter, maybe even lichen. At this point, any roofing material will be under stress from the algae eating away at the surface and be collecting more moisture.

This is the stage where some insurance companies will demand that you get the roof cleaned to prevent its lifespan from being deteriorated. The algae at its worst can sprout plants that will dig roots under your shingles and allow moisture to penetrate your roofline, causing costly repairs.
