Roof Cleaning Saves You Money!

Roof Cleaning Saves You Money!

When your roof forms black steaks you need a professional roof cleaner. immediately. The savings from roof cleaning pays for itself by:

  • Making your home more appealing to your friends, relatives, neighbors and prospective buyers because it will look like your home has a new roof. This will also help you sell the house faster.
  • Making for a healthier lifestyle by removing bacteria from your environment that could make you sick.
  • Adding years to the life to your tile or asphalt shingle roof. We do this by removing gloeocapsa magma from your roof. It is a species of bacteria fungus that feeds upon the limestone filler in asphalt shingle roofs and causes granule loss as it slowly dissolves your asphalt shingles or degrades your tile roof.

Remove Black Streaks and Roof Stains with a Roof Wash!


In the Southeastern United States and spreading throughout the Midwest a bacteria named gloeocapsa magma is leaving black streaks and stains on roofs. The bacteria accumulates over time as it feeds on the calcium carbonate produced by the morning dew and the limestone filler in composite shingles. This accumulation of bacteria appears on your roof as black streaks as the bacteria develops their dark and hard UV-protective outer coating. Experts within the subject area conclude the bacteria to be harmful, if left untreated. The growth holds moisture within shingles causing premature aging, rotting, and/or granule loss. Our roof cleaning process prevents this from happening to your hard earned roof.

Our Roof Cleaning Procedure

  • First we water any plants in the area under the roof line where the black streaks are that we will be cleaning. This allows the plants to absorb water and not roof cleaning solutions.
  • Then we apply roof cleaning solutions approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) with a 12 volt or air pump at no pressure that kills the bacteria fungus and makes it disappear immediately. At the same time we continue watering your plants to keep any roof cleaner over spray from damaging them.
  • After roof cleaning we restitute your soils' pH and neutralize any roof cleaner run off.

Roof Cleaner does not use a pressure washer nor a harmful pitch witch in our roof cleaning procedure. Our Roof Stain Removal System leaves no yucky mold mildew removal sludge residue in your yard like a lot of our competitors do.

That is the benefit of hiring a seasoned professional roof cleaner who uses the proper roof cleaning solutions and knows how to correctly clean your roof and remove the black streaks while protecting your plants.


The process of composite roof cleaningand tile roof cleaningdiffers. On neither roof do you ever clean with a pressure washer hooked up to a pitch witch. Pressure will destroy your roof. This will void your roof warranty and is not approved by (ARMA) Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association nor (RCIA) Roof Cleaners Instutite of America.
