The black or dark gray streaks you see on roofs across the Ozarks are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma — a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it shortens the life of your roof significantly and can void manufacturer warranties.
The solution is not pressure washing — high pressure on shingles causes granule loss, damage, and voids warranties. The correct method is soft wash: low-pressure application of professional cleaning solution that kills the algae at the root and rinses clean.
Why It Matters
A roof replacement in Missouri can cost ,000–0,000 or more. Regular soft wash cleaning extends your roof's life, protects your warranty, and keeps your home looking its best. Most roof cleans cost a fraction of what early replacement would.
Safe for All Roof Types
Our soft wash process is safe for asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and more. We never use high pressure on roofing materials. The cleaning solution we use is biodegradable and safe for landscaping when properly diluted and rinsed.
