The Problem with Algae on Roofs

Algae and lichens pose a significant problem for roofs as it thrives in shaded and moist environments with ample water and humidity. The root-like structures, known as rhizoids, anchor the lichens to the surface and can cause degradation over time. Furthermore, algae holds water, leading to surface damage. Its rapid spread is facilitated by spores that are dispersed by the wind. To protect your property and maintain the integrity of your roof, it is crucial to address vegetation-related issues promptly with APT’s Roof Tile Cleaning Products.
