The black streaks on your roof are called Gloeocapsa Magma. It is a form of very hardy algae that grows on the northern exposure of your asphalt shingle roof! It is a living organism and actually feeds off of the crushed limestone that is used in the shingle manufacturing process. If left uncleaned, the algae will continue to grow until your entire roof is covered in thick black streaks!
The only safe way to clean your asphalt shingle roof is with a no pressure chemical application that actually kills the algae and keeps you roof clean for a longer period of time. Some companies use pressure to clean the algae from you shingles. It will look clean after they use this high or low pressure, but it will not stay clean as long. There will also be significant shingle damage after the use of pressure on your roof! Regular rainfall will remove some of the protective granules from your shingles. Imagine what 500 to 1000 psi will do to those same shingle granules!
Our Chester County PA roof cleaning company is certified by the Roof Cleaning Institute of America and has plenty of reference and before and after pictures to make you feel confident with your decision to use our non pressure roof cleaning service. Give us a call today or visit us on the web!
