Mold on Shaded Southern Utah Roof

Areas of your roof in southern Utah may stay protected from the sun and this shaded area can become susceptible to mold. Not only is mold unattractive, it can damage the shingles of your roof and grow into the areas between shingles damaging the structure below. Mold on roofs can be prevented by removing any branches of trees that are overhanging your roof and by applying zinc strips under the shingles near the top ridges or your home, particularly near those areas that stay in the shade. As for cleaning and removing roof mold, this can be done yourself with commercial products or a mixture of bleach and water. If your roof is easy to access and you are not afraid of heights, feel free to tackle the mold yourself.
