How To Remove Black Streaks From Your Roof
When you travel down any street here in Cedar Grove NJ you’ll notice a recurring theme on those homes that have asphalt shingles. Black Streaks. Stretching down from the center or spine of the roof, these streaks not only look bad but they represent a real problem and threat to your home and your wallet. But you don’t have to live with black streaks. At, Softwash Ranger, we have made it our mission to eliminate black streaks from your roof is the safest and most efficient way possible. But you might be wondering, what are these streaks and why is it so important to get rid of them?
Why You Should Eliminate Black Streaks
The black streaks that you see on your roof didn’t start off as streaks at all. Most likely it started as a small circular patch, a slight discoloration from the normal color of your shingles. It’s easy to miss once it begins, but the black patch is an indicator that a predatory bacteria, Gloeocapsa Magma, has taken up residence on your roof, and it’s hungry. This bacteria feeds on the filler material that is found in the majority of asphalt shingles today. So not only do these black streaks decrease the curb appeal of your home, they are literally eating away at your shingles which will lead to decreased roof efficiency, higher energy costs and, if left unchecked, expensive roof repairs or replacement.
The Safe Way To Get Rid Of Black Streaks On Your Roof
While your shingles do a great job of protecting your home and its contents from rain and the elements, they don’t stand up to high pressure very well at all. So attempting to eliminate these black streaks from your roof using traditional pressure washing techniques will only lead to severe shingle damage that can cost thousands of dollars to repair.
