Your Roof vs. Spring Pollen: Does Your Roof Have Allergies?

Spring in North Carolina means longer days, blooming flowers, and—for your roof—a layer of yellow pollen. While it might seem harmless, pollen buildup can trap moisture, clog gutters, and create the perfect environment for mold or algae to grow. Left unchecked, this grime can shorten the life of your shingles and wear down your roof’s surface.

Pollen also sticks to existing debris like leaves, branches, or loose granules from aging shingles. That buildup holds in moisture from rain, which can seep beneath your shingles and lead to rot or leaks. Homes surrounded by trees in Wilmington or wooded areas near Raleigh are especially at risk in spring.

An early-season roof inspection helps make sure pollen and debris aren’t hiding bigger issues. We check for lifted shingles, blocked gutters, and signs of wear you might miss from the ground. Keep your roof—and your home—healthy this spring.
