Algae, moss, lichen spores are always in the air, but they will only take hold and grow in a hospitable environment. The north side of your roof just happens to be that environment. Similar to the reasons why moss grows on the north side of trees, the environment on your roof is a byproduct of the tilt of the earth. When the sun goes through the sky, especially in winter, the northern part of your roof is shaded for most of the day. This shade allows water to accumulate and provides the moist environment for algae and moss to grow. You might also see stuff growing where you have downspouts pouring onto the house or where trees overhang the house and prevent the sun from drying the roof. Again, the roof stays wet and stuff grows.<\/p>\n<p>That is also the same reason why it doesn&#8217;t spread. Without the environment, no growth. Just look around your house and in your yard. Find a shaded area and you&#8217;ll probably find moss. But it isn&#8217;t in the areas that get sun. The south and east sides get the most sun and it is usually unlikely that they will have algae or moss growth unless trees are providing shade. There is one exception and I can&#8217;t explain it. Light grey roofs get growth all over. The south and east sides usually take longer for the growth to take hold, but from looking at hundreds and maybe even thousands of roofs, this just seems to be the case. As such, when we clean a light grey roof, we recommend a preventative spray for and sides that may have no stains or with just small beginning stains.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-fxyzyl-71ae123c479a84bfcd0413a447722dc4'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"What do you use to clean the roof?

(Bleach versus Pressure)<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>There are 2 different ways you can clean your roof, bleach or pressure.\u00a0 If someone is &#8220;soft washing&#8221; your roof, they are using bleach.\u00a0 Both methods work, but have advantages and disadvantages.\u00a0 For some reason, the bleach guys and the pressure guys have decided to create a war over their individual method.\u00a0 Personally, I have used both and seen the results from both for years.\u00a0 Therefore rather than trying to argue for one method over the other, I will explain the difference and let you, the consumer, decide what is right for you. Most roof cleaners who use pressure use one of the following products.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sitemap-list\"><strong>Oxygen based cleaners<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; When we use pressure, this is the type of cleaner we use most often. To put it in very generic terms, it is like OxyClean. Like bleach, it is an oxidizer, but it packs considerably less punch which is why it needs to be rinsed. However, since it isn&#8217;t as strong, it doesn&#8217;t do any damage to siding or plants even with direct contact.<\/li>\n<li class=\"sitemap-list\"><strong>Sodium Hydroxide<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; This basically turns your algae to soap and you rinse it off. It is a very effective method and properly done will remove algae and black streaks. I do not use this method, but I know other roof cleaners who have used it for years and it works. Like an oxygen based cleaner, it must be rinsed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"sitemap-list\">\n<p>The difference main difference between these products and bleach is that they are not as strong and have to be rinsed. The problem with rinsing is that it takes extra time and that time is money. That means a greater cost for you. The rinse process is done with low power pressure washers using wide angle tips with large orfices for a greater water to pressure ratio. The rinse WILL NOT damage your roof. The advantage to using these products and rinsing is that the roof is done when we leave and you don&#8217;t have to wait for rain to finish the job.<\/p>\n<p>If a roof cleaner isn&#8217;t using pressure, they are using bleach. Each roof cleaner has their own proprietary mixture for the bleach and different chemicals they mix into the bleach, but the main ingredient in any soft wash mix is bleach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sitemap-list\"><strong>Bleach<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; This method requires one man on the ground to keep everything wet and one man on the roof to spray the cleaner and rinse the algae. The whole process is done with a hose and no pressure is applied to the roof.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a nutshell, the difference in using bleach is that it is a more technical process. You have to control your mix correctly and the application process must be done correctly. Since you&#8217;re using a stronger product, misapplication can result in problems. If the man on the ground doesn&#8217;t keep everything properly wet, shrubs and trees can get chemical burns and new growth can be killed. Also, improper watering from the ground can lead to streaking of the gutters or siding. Obviously, you don&#8217;t stay in business long if you burn plants and streak gutters, but it will happen every once in a while when you&#8217;re cleaning hundreds of roofs a year.<\/p>\n<p>The other problem with bleach is that there is no rinse process, since you are just applying a treatment. This lack of rinsing can lead to an odd looking roof until you get a decent rain. Brown dead spots, white spots from the residue of the bleach breaking down, and dead lichens and moss can all remain on your roof. Let me explain each.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Dead Organic Growth<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; When the roof is treated, you are killing the organic growth on the roof. Even though that growth dies, is does not get rinsed until the rain does it&#8217;s thing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bleach Residue<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; When bleach breaks down, one of the components is salt.\u00a0 This is also the primary reason that you need to keep plants watered as salt doesn&#8217;t get along with plants very well.\u00a0 If your roof cleaner&#8217;s mix is a little off or it the overspray it a bit, you can end up with residual salt deposits on the roof.\u00a0 Again, these will go away as soon as it rains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lichens and Moss<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; These are one of the more sticky components to a roof cleaning.\u00a0 If you use bleach to clean your roof, you will <a href=\"https:\/\/tricountyroofcleaners.com\/roof-moss-cleaning\/\">kill all the moss and lichens<\/a>.\u00a0 However, these will not fall of your roof immediately and sometimes may take 2-3 months to come off.\u00a0 Lichens and Moss have a thicker root system than the algae growing on your roof.\u00a0 This root system sets itself directly into the granules of the shingles.\u00a0 When the roof is treated, these growths die, but it takes a while for the root system to disintegrate and let go of the roof.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I use bleach for most of my roof cleaning jobs because frankly, it is a cheaper method and I feel my chemical mix allows me to offer my two year guarantee without worries.\u00a0 However, if you need immediate results from your cleaning and can&#8217;t wait for the rain to rinse the roof, I can use the rinse process to give you the immediate results.<\/p>\n<p>The other situation I encounter from people requesting the Oxygenated Cleaner are environmental concerns.\u00a0 For example, I cleaned a roof of someone who had a fish pond and didn&#8217;t want her fish to get killed.\u00a0 Rather than taking a chance, however small, she wanted the less strong cleaner.\u00a0 If you have special plant life and don&#8217;t want to take any chances, I can use the less strong cleaner as well.\u00a0 Understand that when I use bleach,<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-dzik8d-7b6f169e3bd6be2c6bff4cf3b97dd544'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-4' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-4' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-4' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Do you have a product that can seal my roof and prevent the algae from coming back?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Do you have a product that can seal my roof and prevent the algae from coming back?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Do you have a product that can seal my roof and prevent the algae from coming back?\">Do you have a product that can seal my roof and prevent the algae from coming back?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-4' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-4' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>There are companies out there that are selling a &#8220;sealer&#8221; for your roof which will prevent the algae from coming back. To be blunt, these companies are either lying or they are stupid. Let me explain. Roof cleaning is a huge business around the country, particularly in the south where it is humid and algae grows on all sides of the roof. Every roof cleaner and the shingle manufacturers themselves have all been looking for the magic sealer for years. If the shingle manufacturers themselves haven&#8217;t found it with their huge research and development departments, why would anyone think that some local company has found the magic product. If someone actually invents a sealer that works for 5-10 years, they will have a product with a multi-million dollar market. So if you&#8217;re being sold a sealer, ask them why they aren&#8217;t selling it to the shingle manufacturers and the roof cleaners around the country. Like I said, you aren&#8217;t going to develop a multi-million dollar product and then sell it to local customers in Ohio.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-d2iagd-9ef9ea0b1c5d37adc104afe627dbadef'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-5' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-5' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-5' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Do you clean gutters or wash houses?\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Do you clean gutters or wash houses?\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Do you clean gutters or wash houses?\">Do you clean gutters or wash houses?<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-5' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-5' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Yes, we clean gutters and wash houses, but we generally offer them as part of a roof cleaning package and not as stand alone products.
