Armour Roofing: Emergency Roofing Repair Serving Spokane, WA 99201

In Spokane, frequent leaks are often due to failed sealant around roof penetrations (like vents or chimneys), damaged or aged shingles from freeze-thaw cycles, or clogged gutters causing water backup. At Armour Roofing, we start with a detailed inspection from the attic to the ridge to find the exact entry point. Our repair focuses on the root cause, whether that's replacing flashing, sealing vulnerable areas with high-grade materials, or clearing and securing your drainage system to prevent future issues.

The dark streaks on Spokane roofs are typically Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid, shaded environments. Harsh pressure washing can strip protective granules from asphalt shingles. We use a safer, low-pressure soft wash system with specialized, eco-friendly cleaning agents that kill the algae at its root and gently lift the stains. This method restores your roof's appearance and helps prevent rapid regrowth, all while preserving the lifespan of your shingles.

Prevention is key in our climate. We recommend biannual gutter cleaning, especially in fall and spring, to ensure proper water runoff. It's also wise to trim back overhanging tree branches to reduce shade (which encourages algae) and debris accumulation. We suggest a quick visual check of your roof and attic after major storms and encourage homeowners to schedule a professional inspection with us every 2-3 years. This proactive approach helps catch minor issues before they become major leaks or stains.
