Having a beautiful home, both inside and out, is important to you. But if you’ve noticed that black streaks have started to show up on your roof recently, you may feel like your curb appeal is suffering. When you call us at Softwash Systems of Seminole County for roof cleaning, we can take care of these ugly black streaks and make your roof look like new again.
However, you may still be wondering what those black streaks are. In most cases, algae is the common culprit behind the black streaks on roof. These algae, often referred to as “roof mold,” can appear either in stains or dark streaks. These organisms thrive in humid and shaded areas, and they feed on the limestone filler in your asphalt shingles.
Not only is this algae unsightly, but it can also lead to the premature deterioration of your roof. If left unchecked, the algae can continue to eat away at your shingles, which can limit their lifespan. If not taken care of through regular roof cleaning, you may find that you need to replace your roof sooner than if you had removed the algae regularly throughout your roof’s lifespan.
The good news is that our roof cleaning solutions can eliminate those ugly black streaks from your roof and help you protect its longevity. Contact us today to learn more about what we do when we clean roofs and to get a quote for this service.
