Durant's rural eastern Hillsborough County location doesn't protect its homes from Florida's relentless roof algae. Here's what Durant homeowners need to know.
Roof Algae on Durant's Rural Properties
Durant's rural character and eastern Hillsborough County location mean larger properties with roofs that are sometimes more difficult to access — but the algae problem is identical to any other Florida community. Gloeocapsa Magma colonizes asphalt shingle roofs throughout Florida within 2–4 years, feeding on limestone filler and creating the dark streaks visible on Durant homes throughout the area near Valrico Road and Lithia Pinecrest. Durant homeowners with heavily tree-covered properties are especially vulnerable — shade retains moisture and accelerates algae growth.
