Algae Eating Limestone Filler
Permalink  
 

We received a call today from a home inspector. He left a message stating he had examined one of marketing pieces where we described that the algae is using the limestone as a food source. He said we were misleading the consumer. When I called
him back and asked him did he think the algae was justing living on sun and rain,
he said...yes.

Owens Corning when I discussed the subject, said their official position is that there is nothing in  the shingle for the algae to live off of. I believe this is their position, because to say otherwise would trigger a flood of lawsuits.

Would appreciate some members thoughts? Thanks, Mike

When I was a real estate broker we (obviously) used them a lot. Some of them were pretty straight forward but others were insanely ridiculous. We had a contract almost fall through because the home inspector pointed out that the markings on a stove knob were beginning to fade....ever so slightly. The buyer was demanding that it be replaced. It was an outdated appliance and it was a burden to find a new knob for it. I had the sellers fly out from the UK for the closing and it all ended up being done by correspondance in the end.
