THE SCIENCE OF ASPHALT SHINGLE PRESERVATION: ELIMINATING GLOEOCAPSA MAGMA GROWTH

HOW ROOF ALGAE EATS YOUR SHINGLES AND INCREASES YOUR ENERGY BILLS

Those dark, ugly streaks on your roof are actually a living bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. This growth feeds on the limestone filler inside your shingles granules, slowly eating away at the materials that protect your home. As the algae spreads, it strips away the protective granules that reflect sunlight, making your shingles brittle and causing your attic to trap much more heat.

Our specialized soft washing process uses a safe, targeted treatment to kill this growth at the root without damaging your roof. By removing these living organisms, we restore your roof’s ability to reflect heat and keep your home cool. More importantly, we extend the life of your shingles by years—saving you from the massive cost of a premature roof replacement.
