How Do I Remove Black Algae Stains?

Though black algae forms on rooftops and gutters, making it challenging to reach, cleaning black algae isn't as complicated as it seems. At Panoramic View Window Cleaning & Roof Washing TKE Corporation, we find that using a soft washing tool instead of a traditional pressure washing machine is actually much safer for the lifespan of your shingles and gutters. Soft washing combines a lower water pressure with a signature cleaning agent, and it will gently lift all black algae stains from your rooftop, gutters, and shingles - all without the risk of surface damage that traditional pressure washing can pose.

What Exactly Is Black Algae, And How Did It Get On My Roof?

Black algae is also known as gloeocapsa magma, and it's a specific strain of algae that grows in areas that experience high heat and high humidity. That means you've more than likely seen it on rooftops in the Virginia area! This specific strain of black algae can also spread from rooftop to rooftop via the wind - which means, if you spot gloeocapsa magma on your neighbor's rooftop, there's a chance it could spread to yours as well. That's why it's so important to clean black algae from your rooftops as soon as you can once you notice it, to ensure that your rooftop and shingles are safe from harm.
