Check for Discoloration
Look at your roof and see if there are any streaks or unusual dark areas. If there are, this could be a sign of mold and mildew growth. Mold can grow during periods of increased humidity and when your roof doesn't receive much sunlight. To remove the growth, visit your local home improvement store and by a chemical designed for the job. |
