Moss & Algae Removal in Reading, Pennsylvania

Moss & Algae Removal in Reading means roofing built for the Pennsylvania climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Pennsylvania heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your Reading Roof Needs Moss & Algae Removal

• Dark streaks on the north-facing slopes - the algae is forming in the shade
• Green patches in the shaded spots - the moss is taking hold
• Stains below the trees - the tree debris and the shade feed the growth
• Lifted shingle edges from the moss - the moss is getting under the shingles
• Damp spots that never dry - the shade and the humidity hold the moisture

Why Reading Roofs Need Moss & Algae Removal

The humidity is the main cause. The damp air feeds the moss and the algae on the shaded slopes.

The shade is the second cause. The trees shade the roof and the sun never dries the surface.

Preventing Problems in Reading

• Trim the trees over the roof - the shade and the debris feed the moss
• Clean the roof every 2-3 years - the humidity grows the moss faster
• Install the zinc strips on the north slope - the zinc prevents the moss growth
• Check the shaded sections each spring - the early treatment stops the growth

In Reading, the algae is the roof enemy. The humidity and the shade feed the growth. The soft wash cleaning and the tree trimming keep the roof clean and dry.
