Is Your Roof Under Attack? Roofs in Lakeland and the rest of Florida present the perfect living quarters for algae, moss, and other mold. The worst culprit is a type of bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. It creates black streaks across your roofing – and as it eats the limestone in your shingles, it spreads. The result is ugly and dangerous. Without regular cleaning, this bacteria will deteriorate your roofing. Algae growth on the roof can lead to premature granule loss. It makes your roof to appear much older than it is, and it creates issues that cost money and take time to fix. No roofing material is safe from this kind of wear and tear: It affects asphalt roofing, slate, metal, and tile roofs alike. Here’s the good news. There is an alternative. A professional roof cleaning will restore the original appearance of your roof and keep it from declining prematurely.
