Chlorine is Bad For Your Roof

In Florida, algae and mold grow on a roof pretty quickly. The standard fix is to pressure-wash the roof and apply chlorine to kill the stain, or to spray diluted chlorine and let the sun do its thing.

It works really well, temporarily. The stains come back really quickly, the homeowners association sends out nasty letters, and the roof gets cleaned again, sometimes twice a year or more.

Chlorine is very hard on a roof system. If you have ever driven behind a pool cleaning company truck, and wondered why the whole tailgate and sometimes the bumper are all rusted out, it’s because of the chlorine they are constantly hauling around. Chlorine eats metal.

Most roofs are held on by nails, screws, etc., and have metal flashings. Chlorine corrosion can cause premature failure of the entire roof system, as well as being terrible for everything else it comes in contact with: exterior finishes, plants, wildlife, and groundwater.
