Q: Does green algae rot wood?

• <div><p>Algae doesn't directly contribute to wood rot, like mold, but it does create conditions that can lead to mold over time. Algae retain moisture, which favors fungal growth, potentially leading to wood rot over time. In some cases, significant algae growth can lead to the weakening of wood fibers, ultimately causing rot. Try to keep things as dry as possible. </p></div>

Q: What are common issues requiring gutter repair?

• <div><p>Clogging, sagging, leaks, rust, and detachment from the roofline are common problems that need attention.</p></div>

Q: Does wood filler harden?

• <div><p>The raw materials inside wood filler work as a binding agent that, once dry, stays hard and helps reinforce wood. It's a great way to help older lumber maintain its integrity and strength if you're looking to, say, build a new piece of furniture from old or repurposed wood.</p></div>

Q: Can sagging gutters be repaired?

• <div><p>Yes, and repairing such damage is another repair that&rsquo;s done often. Sagging gutters are usually the result of one of two things: damage or overload. For example, ice buildup over the winter due to clogged gutters can cause expansion, stretching the gutters. A falling tree limb or even a rogue baseball can cause gutters to sag. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-repair-sagging-gutters.htm">Sagging gutters can be repaired</a>, but they are often replaced because it can take less time.</p></div>

My ceilings starting leaking during some heavy rainstorms in my area. After some frantic phone calls to roofing companies, Roofx responded right away and even sent someone out on a Saturday to look at my roof. There was a hole in my roof and due to it being old slate tile, it couldn't be...
