What Is That Green Stuff on Your Carmel, IN Roof? Professional Washing Can Stop the Damage Today

One fine day you look up at your roof and suddenly realize that it is discolored with greenish-black, mottled mold-like streaks and stains. They show up in sharp contrast to your light-colored asphalt shingles. These streaks are actually a blue-green form of algae known as Gloeocapsa magma. Not only does this algae mar the pristine beauty of your roof, but it can also lessen its lifespan. 

This is because it retains moisture and gradually waterlogs the whole roof.  Add to that the fact that this algae species is a breeding ground for even more invasive organic contaminants such as mildew and mold. If you are not careful and don’t act to remove the infestation quickly, you might have to spring for expensive repairs, or even outright replacement. 

This blackish-green algae species is not only extremely invasive it’s also very hardy. Once it infests a house in your neighborhood, it is only a matter of time before its airborne spores find their way to your roof. 

It prefers the side away from the sun, where it settles and starts to expand very rapidly. Before you know it, it will cover large patches of your roof. The longer it stays the more it takes root. This means that it is extremely difficult to eliminate once it has spread all over the place. 

Merely trying to wash it away with a garden hose won’t do much. On the contrary, watering your roof will simply enable it to spread even faster.
