Roof Washing in Reading, PA

Do you find yourself looking at your roof and asking these questions: Are the shingles deteriorating? Is our roof being eaten by mold? What is causing those ugly black streaks?  You’re not alone – black streaks, mold and algae will attack most roofs if left untreated.

The black streaks on your roof are most likely the prehistoric algae known as Gloecapsa Magma. These spores love moisture and typically will start to grow on the north or shaded side of your roof.  And what makes it worse, this strain of algae travels though air, so if someone in your neighborhood has black streaks, chances are good, you will eventually have them too. According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) the algae is mostly an aesthetic nuisance, although over time, the moisture retained in the algae can prematurely age the singles and contribute to moss or lichen growth that will physically deteriorate your shingle.
