Insurance Companies Cracking Down on Homeowners With Dirty Roofs
TULSA, Okla. (March 24, 2014) - Insurance companies are never happy when homeowners neglect their properties. Now, insurers are cracking down on homeowners with dirty, moldy rooftops.
Bob Foppe of Oklahoma told Tulsa-based NBC station KJRH his insurance company came by his house when he wasn’t even there and took pictures of his property. Then, they sent him a letter with photos that showed mold, dirt and algae on his roof and siding.
“They said if I didn’t correct it, they could terminate my policy,” Foppe said.

This is not just happening in Oklahoma. Mold- and algae-stained rooftops are a problem across the country — especially in Southern states with long, humid summers. You can hire someone to clean your roof with bleach, but that will cause you even more problems. Bleach damages your shingles and it can kill the plants.
Simix offers a solution: Simix Multi-Surface Cleaner. Our environmentally friendly cleaner is safer than and cheaper than bleach. It works with the sun to kill and clean the mold and algae off your roof, and it keeps those problems from coming back.
