As I drive around the West Michigan area, I notice that
there are hundreds of houses with black streaks running up the shingles on the
roof. What are these streaks and are they harmful to your shingles?
Those “Black streaks” are actually airborne algae,
Gloeocapsa. When a spore lands on your roof it feeds on the limestone filler
used in many shingles. As it feeds on the limestone it grows up your roof line
taking over the shingles if left untreated.
Not only do these “black streaks” look unsightly, they lead
to premature shingle failure and can also cause your heating/cooling costs to
rise.
Luckily there is a way to remove this algae from the roof,
safely and without any danger to you.
Roof Cleaner is a West Michigan
company that uses the soft-wash method,
which is the method that shingle manufactures recommend for the cleaning of
shingles. Our soft-wash uses no high pressure to remove the stains, mold, mildew
or lichen that grow on the roofs in the area, if fact we use the pressure of a
garden hose only.
Our process not only removes the organisms from your roof,
we gaurnteee that it will stay clean for 2 years. We also offer a 5 year
protection plan for even more peace of mind.
Don’t wait until your roof is so over run with algae that
the only option is spending thousands of dollars for new shingles to be
installed. Call now and have your roof washed, it will add years to your
shingles and at a fraction of the cost.
