Roof Stain Removal
Gleocapsa Magma (Roof Algae) aka Ugly Roof Stains
Roof Cleaning Warranty:
We guarantee all Algae will be killed and removed down to the roots. Further, we guarantee that Algae will not re-infest your roof for a period of one (1) year. If Algae does return to the area we cleaned within one (1) year, we will re-clean the area at no additional charge to you.
This Algae, known as Gleocapsa Magma, produces it’s own energy and feeds on Inorganic materials like calcium carbonate, which is used as a filler in your asphalt shingles. The Algae also produces a dark pigment to protect itself from ultraviolet rays, thus giving it the unsightly black color that results in a streaked, dirty-looking roof. The growth usually first appears on the north slope of the roof where extra shade and moisture provide an ideal environment. Once established in an area, it develops rapidly and spreads across the entire roof. Airborne spores can then be carried from rooftop to rooftop, infesting entire neighborhoods.
