You may ask yourself, "What are those Black Stains on my roof?"
The question should really be... "What is that Growing on my Roof & Eating my Asphalt Shingles?"
The black streaks are an algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. The roofing manufacturers reformulated asphalt shingles in the late 1980s, adding crushed limestone. The limestone is the food source for the algae. In most cases on a North or West facing roof. This provides the ideal moist environment for algae growth in NJ.
In South Jersey there are 3 main culprits; they are algae, lichen & moss. If left untreated, they will reduce the life of a roof, shingles, diminish your home's curb appeal, increase cooling cost and ultimately bring down the value of the property.
Residential communities, single family homes, town homes, commercial buildings, any and all roofs are vulnerable to getting black roof streaks and black roof stains from this algae.

Roof Washing in New Jersey
Roof cleaning or roof washing is a relatively new concept in NJ. People have been cleaning their roofs in the southern, more humid, states for many years. The algae (Gloeocapsa Magma - black streaks or black stains ) thrives in areas of the country with high humidity. Although South Jersey and the rest of NJ is not as humid as Florida or other southern states, it is bad enough for the algae to grow and feed on the shingles.
The Asphalt Roofing Manufactures Association (ARMA) recommend low pressure washing with specific chemicals to remove the black streaks and other contaminants from shingles. They also say to NEVER use high pressure or power washing to remove the black stains because this equipment will damage the shingles.
For roof washing, the ONLY safe process is to utilize low pressure or Soft Washing. Also follow the ARMA recommendations for cleaning roofs which assures that it is safe for your roof and home.
A low pressure soft wash is also used on all types of algae, moss and lichen. Moss and Lichen actually have a root system attaching them to the granules on your shingles. These can easily be removed with a power washer or even brushed off but they will still have a strong grip on the granules thus removing them and causing damage to your roof. It is best to kill the moss or lichen first, let it dry out, get brittle and then they will fall away causing the least amount of damage and extend the life of your roof.
A clean roof will enhance the curb appeal of your home and which will ultimately raise property values and help homes sell faster in a slow economy.
