Safely Remove Algae with Soft Washing

Are those unsightly black streaks on your roof driving you crazy? Don’t worry; we’ve got a safe solution! Those streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma, a living organism that loves to grow on roofs. But fear not—we use a process called soft washing to eliminate this unwanted guest.

What is Gloeocapsa Magma? For years, roof discoloration caused by algae has been observed across the United States and Canada. These brown-to-black streaks are often mistaken for dirt, fungus, soot, or moss. Gleocapsa Magma is one of the most prevalent algae species responsible for this discoloration. It spreads through the air and thrives on roofing structures. The natural pigments it produces can turn a white or light-colored roof dark brown or black. Don’t confuse it with moss or tree droppings, which create localized discolorations.
