B & J Roofing | Roofing Services in Fort Smith, AR 72901

Water pooling is a common issue here due to our weather patterns. We address it by first inspecting your roof's drainage and slope. Our solutions often include installing tapered insulation systems to create proper runoff, re-pitching specific areas, or adding and clearing additional drains. Proper installation is key to preventing the structural damage and leaks that standing water can cause.

Those dark streaks are typically a type of algae (Gloeocapsa magma) that thrives in our humid climate, especially on north-facing roof slopes. While not structurally damaging, it affects curb appeal. We use a professional, low-pressure soft wash treatment with a specialized cleaner that safely removes the stains. We can also install zinc or copper strips along the ridge to prevent future growth.

For durability in Fort Smith, we prioritize two things: superior ventilation and high-quality, algae-resistant shingles. Proper attic ventilation reduces heat and moisture buildup that can warp decks and degrade shingles from underneath. We often recommend and install shingles with copper or zinc granules that inhibit algae growth, combined with our expert installation techniques to ensure optimal water shedding and longevity.
