Our roof cleaning services include cleaning asphalt shingle, wood shake, slate and tile roofs. Roof cleaning is becoming more important to the property management industry as as Black stains begin to appear on roofing systems. These black stains can increase utility fees, cause damage to shingles, increase temperatures in attic areas, ruin curb appeal of the property and many other problems. These black stains are caused by a Bacterial based Algae called Gloeocaspa Magma, that continues to move further up into the Northern areas of the United States. Gloeocapsa magma is a species of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are an ancient line of photosynthesizing bacteria, which photolyze water, generating oxygen gas.
The Black Stains from Gloeocaspa Magma are unsightly and therefore affects the curb appeal of any property. The dark stains place an added load on air conditioning systems as well. As this bacteria feasts on the components of shingles, ultimately it invites moss and lichen and algae to infest the structure of the roof material and cause premature failure of the roof. It has been estimated that as much as 50% of all roof replacements have been done because of the appearance of the roof and not actually because of its functionality.
