Common signs in our area include ice dams in winter, a musty smell in the attic, visible mold growth on rafters, or peeling paint on exterior overhangs. These often point to poor attic ventilation trapping warm, moist air. We offer a free, detailed inspection to assess your attic's airflow and insulation, pinpointing the source of the moisture to recommend the right fix.

Those dark streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, common here due to humidity. We use a specialized, low-pressure soft wash treatment with a roof-safe cleaning solution. This effectively kills the algae and washes it away without the high-pressure force that can blast off protective shingle granules, which is a risk with DIY power washing.

Absolutely. Proper ventilation, like installing ridge and soffit vents, is a key defense for Chambersburg homes. It reduces attic heat and humidity that contribute to condensation (moisture) and creates a drier surface less hospitable for algae growth. During our inspection, we'll evaluate your current system and can design an upgrade that tackles both problems, improving your roof's health and lifespan.
