Roof Cleaning in St. Charles County

Roof cleaning offers several important benefits, including: improved energy efficiency by removing dirt and debris which can reduce the insulation quality of the roof; improved appearance of the home; reduces the risk of damage due to dirt and debris buildup; and prevents build-up of moss, mold, and algae which can be difficult and costly to remove.

A client in St. Charles County, Saint Peters, MO. reached out to us in regards to the black streaks on their asphalt shingles. They were in need of roof cleaning. The black streaks that commonly form on roof shingles are known as Gloeocapsa magma. Gloeocapsa magma is a blue-green algae that is commonly found on rooftop surfaces like shingles and tiles, as well as blacktop driveways, decks and patios. This algae can damage roofs and cause staining and discoloration on other surfaces. To remove this algae, pressure washing or a professional soft-wash system is necessary. Additionally, applications of algaecide can also be used to prevent future growth.

When we arrived on site, we did our assessment of the property. We ensured the roof shingles were in a stable condition to be cleaned. Our number one priority when roof washing is to ensure no damage is done to the integrity of the roof. Using a low pressure, chemical based soft wash method, we can accomplish damage free roof washing and roof cleaning. We also take pride in hydrating and covering all surrounding vegetation to ensure plant life is left safe and unharmed.
