The black stains on most roofs today is a blue-green algae named Gloeocapsa magma.  Roofing manufacturers reformulated asphalt shingles in the late 1980's, removing some asphalt and replacing it with crushed limestone.The limestone acts as a filler and gives weight to the shingle.

The limestone is the food source for the algae. On a North or East facing roof is where most of the growth occurs, combined with the growth of some black mold as well.  This orientation provides the ideal environment for each species to thrive, degrading the shingles.  The most recognizable and familiar black color is produced by the algae itself to provide it with protection from the UV rays of the sun.

Soft Washing is a unique and extensive cleaning process that can be applied to all of your exterior surfaces such as your roof, house siding, wood fences, patio decks, brick and stone walls, painted surfaces, concrete surfaces, and even underground parking lots.

WHAT IS ON MY ROOF?

 

Shingle manufacturers began to change the makeup of their products in the 70’s and 80’s. Their new composition consists of crushed limestone which is an excellent food source for the algae, and when combined with warm and humid weather, gives it the perfect environment to thrive in. This algae can hold water on your roof and act like a magnafying glass raising you roofs temperature and eventually increasing your cooling costs. If left to worsen, this growth will also cause granule loss and ultimately shorten the life span of your roof.

ROOF WASH ACKNOWLEDGMENT

 When the company completes a roof wash service, client understands that all roofs react to our solution differently and results will vary. Our solution is guaranteed to completely kill any damaging growths such as algae, moss, or lichen. Client understands that the roof will show results of a cleaning but in some instances, it may take more time to completely remove the dead growths. This happens due to many factors such as age of roof, type of shingle, location, and the amount of buildup. It is understood that there is potential to have some light brown areas that remain after treatment. These light brown areas are dead algae which previous to treatment were black streaks. If this occurs, client understands it will take some time for the remaining dead algae to come off with assistance of natural elements such as sun exposure and rain. We request clients wait 6 to 8 weeks for the brown areas to fade. If after 6 to 8 weeks, the brown areas remain, we request you contact us immediately so we can come physically view the area to appropriately determine the next step. If roof has moss or lichen growth it will take some time for those to completely fall off. Since we do not use high pressure, we let our solution do the work. If the growth is deep into the shingle it will take time for it to remove. Those growths will turn white when treated with our solution. The client understands that the growths will dry out and fall off as the natural elements such as wind and rain assist with the removal process. If after 6 to 8 weeks, the growths remain we request client reaches out to company. We will then do onsite assessment to determine next step. Client also understands that our cleaning solution is specifically designed for our cleaning services and it will not cause any discoloration or damage to the roof.
