Algae growth on roofs can cause several significant issues. First. and foremost, the most recognizable issue is the unsightly dark streaks on the roof's surface. These streaks will eventually lead to damaging moss growth and the need for costly premature replacement long before your roof is ready. It's been said that over 70% of roofs in the United States are replaced too early.
Secondly, algae retain moisture, which can lead to the growth of moss and lichen mentioned previously. This additional growth keeps shingles damp, further deteriorating them. Damp shingles are more prone to damage and can lead to structural issues over time. Moss grows underneath the shingles and lifts them from the roof surface exposing areas susceptible to water leaks.
Thirdly, algae can slowly degrade shingles by causing them to lose their granules. These granules are crucial for protecting the roof from UV rays and weather elements. Without them, shingles are less effective and more susceptible to damage, tearing, cracking and curling.
Finally, the presence of algae and the associated moisture plus degradation can significantly shorten the lifespan of asphalt shingles. This shortening of life leads to more frequent repairs, replacements, and increasing long-term maintenance costs.
