Pollution, tree sap and jet exhaust are the first things people think of when they see staining on their roof. Many are surprised to find that virtually all roof staining and discoloration is organic matter in various stages of growth and decay. Algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and moss are the main culprits.
The black roof streaks you see are actually algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. This algae spreads itself by unseen microscopic spores, just like a dandelion weed. This eventually leads to extensive shingle damage and the need for early replacement, costing you thousands. If you're thinking about replacing the roof on your home or business because of the streaks, then think again.
Odds are your roof has not reached the end of its life expectancy. The majority of roof replacements are done unnecessarily early and are VERY expensive! If your roof is in good structural condition, but has black streaks (black algae), moss, or lichen patches on it, IT DOES NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. It needs a ROOFTOP WIZARDS Soft Roof Wash!

Owens Corning, the worlds largest shingle manufacturer, feel that the black streaks on your roof (an algae known as gleocapsa magma) can cause premature granule loss w/o periodic roof cleaning, and considerably shorten the life of your residential or commercial roof! As your roofing shingles are turned black by the growing algae, they retain more heat leading to increased shingle deterioration.
