Roof Moss is generally a sign of damp conditions. Depending on your geographical location, some cases may be more severe than others. It is the most common roofing growth. This growth will retain moisture, occupy space between the shingles and ultimately shorten the life expectancy of your asphalt roof.
Roofs in regions with high humidity and frequent rainfall provide the perfect conditions for lichen development. Water can seep into tiny cracks and crevices in the roofing material, creating a damp environment conducive to lichen growth. Lichen has been known to deteriorate concrete and metal.
This particular type of cyanobacteria is responsible for creating black stains and streaks on roofs. The bacteria accumulate over time as it feeds on moisture and calcium carbonate. Over time, Gleocapsa Magma breaks down the shingles by feeding off of the limestone granules embedded in the product.

We use a soft washing method using low-pressured water paired with a special cleaning agent to remove moss, lichen, black stains, dirt, debris, and any other unwanted growth. This process is non invasive and does not cause any damage to the existing shingles or home.
Fact: The cleaning agents are more important than the volumes of water. This is where Soft Washing and Pressure Washing are different.
