Moss & Algae Removal in Bloomington, IL
Dark streaks. Green patches of moss. They’re not just ugly — they trap moisture right against the shingle underneath, and that’s the real problem. We clear this stuff off residential roofs and light commercial ones too, and we go after the buildup specifically because it eats away at granules and shortens how long a roof holds up. Bloomington doesn’t help matters either, not with humid summers and winters that freeze and thaw over and over.
What Grows Where, and Why
Humid summers are basically an invitation for algae and moss, especially on anything facing north. North Pointe, the area near Illinois State — a lot of those homes are running shingles 20, 30 years old at this point, and growth loves to settle right into the valleys and eaves. Come winter, that turns into ice-dam leaks more often than people expect. If we get into a job and find deck damage underneath, we work through city permits and loop in inspectors, no shortcuts there.
How Treatment Actually Goes
Streaks, patches, granules piling up in the gutter — that’s your sign. We use low-pressure washing plus biocides that are EPA-approved, kills the growth, doesn’t touch the shingle. Spring or fall is when we book this, temperatures sit right where the treatment actually holds. Skip it, and moisture just keeps pushing toward the underlayment and decking underneath. Cost only goes up from there.
