TOPIC: I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

stain on siding appears to come from something on metal roof

Return to I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

Return to Forum

My mother recently purchased a house in Jacksonville NC. She loves the house for all the low maintenance exterior items to include the vinyl siding and metal roof. She was walking around the house recently and noticed that the back of the house has some vertical color markings or stains. She has tried to wash these markings off the siding with soap and water but was unsuccessful. She sent me some pictures. the house doesn't have gutters on the back. The stain appears to start directly under the roof line and continues to the foundation.
Two questions: what might be the cause of this stain and how would we remove the stain?

This sounds like mildew and dirt from water tracking off of the roof. A product like Wet N Forget or HouseWash may successfully clean it off.
