Outbreaks like these can destroy the aesthetic of your house and once the outbreak has set in, they will continuously worsen. Also, the roof becomes dirty just from atmospheric particles settling on them. However the more disturbing factor is the continued growth of algae and the like.

Of course the result is a series of stains which spreads all over the roof space and continues on down the outside of your blockwork and into other various nooks and crannies. This will eventually degrade and damage your roofing materials and require further costly maintenance in the future.

Some common treatments with chemical include the use of bleach. However, you must be careful when employing bleach as a cleansing agent as it is not always suited to every roof material. Ideally the use of eco-friendly treatments if preferable including biodegradable products for the waste component.
