SINGS YOUR ROOF NEED TREATMENT
ALGEA STAINS
Black algae stains are prevalent across New England but most homeowners don't realize those streaks are actually a sign of a failing roof. The reduction of asphalt content in new shingles means the oils dry out much faster than they used to and that is what allows the algae roots to take hold. South Coast Shingle Savers re-saturates the shingle with bio-oils that choke off the root systems of the algae and prevent re-growth. Our special formulation is infused with zinc which is a safe cleanser & algaecide
WIND DAMAGED
Evaporation of petro-chemical oils means the adhesive strips that hold shingles together lose their stickiness. That allows the shingle tabs to separate in a storm, causing damage and dramatically increasing the potential for leaks. Rejuvenation process re-activates the adhesive strips so the shingle stays in place during heavy winds.
BRITTLE AND CRACKED
The ability to expand and contract in rapidly changing temperatures is vital to the performance of shingles. Evaporation of the petro-chemical oils results in the loss of flexibility, leading to potential cracking, and even leaks. We'll caulk and seal minor cracks before applying our product, restoring flexibility
GRANULE LOSS
Granules are the "rock" coating that protects shingles from the elements. As petro-chemical oils evaporate, shingles lose adhesion, become dry and brittle, and granules start to shed, often ending up in the gutter. Our product penetrates the shingle, reactivating granular adhesion, and holding the critical protective granules in place.
Any Asphalt Shingle Roof That's Over 10 Years Old
Over the last 20 years, shingle manufacturers have reduced the amount of asphalt in shingles by as much as 40%. As a result, a "30 Year Roof" is now failing in as little as 12 years in the Northeast climate. Even if you don't have visible signs yet, South Coast Shingle Savers will reverse the deterioration of your roof, saving you thousands of dollars over the long term.
