Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

 Gloeocapsa magma is a type of cyanobacteria that can create dark green or black stains on roofs. These stains are actually large concentrations of the algae itself, which feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles and causes damage and deterioration over time. Not only are these black streaks unsightly, but they can also be harmful to the health of your roof. If you notice these stains on your roof, it's important to take action to remove them and protect your roof from further damage.

  At Elite Wash, we take great care to protect your landscaping while we work. Before we begin, we make sure to properly prepare the area by watering your plants and shielding them if necessary. We also redirect or bag gutter drains to catch any runoff that might occur. Rest assured that we will do everything we can to keep your landscaping looking beautiful while we work on your home.

 The roofing material industry has changed. In the last few decades roof covering manufacturers have changed the makeup and construction of the shingles. Newer roofing materials have fewer petroleum products in them, more materials (like fiberglass) that retain moisture as they age, and more limestone (organic material) inside of them which the plants just love to feed on! 

If you have black streaks (black algae), moss, or lichen growing on your roof. It’s not just an eyesore, your roof is being damaged!

The organisms are feeding off the materials in your roof covering and wearing away at the integrity of your roof. Our goal is to completely eliminate these problems and keep your roof healthy for years to come.

 You will start to see the results on the same day. Most of the black algae will be gone right away. However, the moss, lichen, and problem spots may take a few rain and sun cycles to completely wash off once and for all.
