Ordinarily, roofs have long lifespans, lasting decades. However, mold can drastically reduce the longevity of a roof.

Mold damage is common in homes in humid areas or areas that receive plenty of rainfall. The high moisture, coupled with limited exposure to sunlight, provide an optimum environment for mold. 

Left untreated, mold will quickly spread, leaving unsightly black streaks that have a slimy appearance. Mold will also ruin the structural integrity of the roof and reduce curb appeal.

There are a number of ways to remove mold from a roof, including cleaning the roof and installing zinc strips. Moisture-resistant roofing materials are another option. For comprehensive roof mold removal services, consult a roofing contractor, such as Patriots’ Roofing.
