Roof Cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida

The dark streaks on the roof are the signature of the Florida humidity. The algae grows on the shaded north slopes, feeds on the moisture, and spreads the black stains down the roof. Roof cleaning in Lauderdale Lakes means the soft wash that removes the growth and the stains without the high pressure that damages the shingles.

Signs Your Lauderdale Lakes Roof Needs Cleaning

• Black or green streaks on the north slope - the algae is taking hold
• Moss patches in the shaded areas - the moisture is holding against the roof
• Stains under the trees - the debris and the shade feed the growth
• The roof looks older than it is - the growth ages the appearance
• Granules in the gutters with the growth - the shingles are shedding

Why Lauderdale Lakes Roofs Get Stained

The humidity is the main cause. The Lauderdale Lakes air is heavy with the moisture, and the algae - specifically the gloeocapsa magma - feeds on it. The algae forms the dark streaks that start on the shaded north slopes and spread down the roof.

The shade is the second factor. The north-facing slopes and the areas under the trees never dry out, and the constant moisture is the perfect environment for the growth. The homes with the heavy tree cover see the staining the most.

The growth is more than cosmetic. The algae and the moss hold the moisture against the shingle surface, and the constant wetness accelerates the granule loss and the aging. The cleaning is both the appearance fix and the protection.

Keeping the Lauderdale Lakes Roof Clean Longer

• Trim the branches over the roof - the sun dries the roof and slows the growth
• Install the zinc or the copper strips - the metal ions prevent the algae
• Clean on the regular schedule - the 2-3 year cleaning keeps it manageable
• Clear the debris from the valleys - the trapped leaves feed the growth

In Lauderdale Lakes, the soft wash is the only safe way to clean the roof. The low pressure and the algae-killing solution remove the streaks and the growth without blasting the granules off the shingles.

The Streaks Are Not Just Cosmetic

The black streaks on the Lauderdale Lakes roof are the signature of the humidity, and they are more than an eyesore. The algae that forms the streaks holds the moisture against the shingle surface, and the constant wetness accelerates the granule loss and the aging. The moss in the shadiest spots roots into the shingle surface and lifts the edges. The cleaning is the appearance fix and the protection at the same time.

The inland location means the humidity and the heat do the work, and the algae and the UV are the wear factors the materials have to beat.

Why Soft Wash Beats Pressure

The pressure washing that works on concrete is the wrong tool for the roof. The high pressure blasts the granules off the shingles and damages the surface. The soft wash uses the low pressure and the algae-killing solution - the pressure is enough to clean, and the solution does the work on the growth. The Lauderdale Lakes roofs that are cleaned with the soft wash keep the granules and the protection. The roofs that are blasted with the pressure lose both.

The Lauderdale Lakes Difference
