Question Answers
What's the best way to remove black algae stains from my Salem roof without causing damage?
The safest method is a professional soft wash with a specially formulated, EPA-approved algaecide. Pressure washing can strip protective granules from asphalt shingles, shortening their lifespan. At Fes Roofing, we use gentle, effective techniques that eliminate the algae stains common in our humid climate while preserving your roof's integrity and warranty.
How can I tell if my roof's underlayment is damaged, and why is it a common issue here?
Signs include interior water stains, a musty smell in the attic, or cracked/curling shingles. Salem's frequent rain and moisture can cause underlayment—the water-resistant barrier beneath your shingles—to deteriorate over time. We recommend a professional inspection, especially before the rainy season, to identify and replace compromised underlayment before it leads to major leaks or structural issues.
As a Salem homeowner, should I prioritize algae cleaning or an underlayment check first?
Start with an underlayment inspection. While algae are mainly cosmetic, damaged underlayment is a functional failure that can cause serious water damage. Our team can assess both during one visit. We'll ensure the critical waterproofing layer is sound first, then address stain removal to restore your roof's appearance and health, tackling both common local problems efficiently.
