Tips for Removing Mold on Your Roof

Professional Roof Cleaning

Roof mold is caused by an infestation with fungus spores carried by the wind. As all fungi, this one also needs a damp environment to proliferate. In the case of roofs, that damp environment is provided by the debris, such as dirt, dust, dead leaves and twigs that accumulates on the surface of the roof, then absorbs rain water and keeps the water on the surface of the roof.

Fortunately, roof mold is not very difficult to remove and with some maintenance, it is not very difficult to keep off either. The first step should be thorough roof cleaning – make sure that all the debris is removed from the roof, but try to avoid pressure washers, especially if your roof is covered in shingles because pressurized water might damage the roof cover.

When the roof is clean, eliminate all the fungus residues by applying some mold removal chemical on the roof or just treat it with a mix of water and bleach to disinfect the roof. If necessary, repeat the cleaning process a few more times, then apply a final, fungus-repellant coating only when you are sure the roof is completely clean. For best results have a professional team from Penney Construction of Kansas do this extensive process safely.  Mold repellant coatings need to be reapplied every few years to make sure that the mold infestation does not come back.
