Roof Algae is a constant problem across the United States. Its common name Gloeocapsa Magma.
If not treated roof algae will slowly derstroy your homes first line of defence. Your Roof!
About Gloeocapsa Magma
Many people tell me that the black streaks on roofs are caused by everything from acorns
cracking on the surface to tree sap or shingle degradation due to granule loss. While these 
might be possibilities, the fact is that in most cases, the stains and streaks are a form of algae
or moss.
Roof algae, commonly known as Gloeocapsa Magma, is a type of algae that thrives in humid
and warm climates and usually appears first on the North slope of the roof where shade is
prevalent and moisture tends to accumulate. The result is usually a black streaked roof. Roof
moss is more prevalent in the Pacific Northwest and Canada and it is an actual moss growth
like what can be found on a tree or rock.
Roof algae and moss spores are carried by the wind until all roofs in the area are infested.
Roof moss is very dangerous because it will grow underneath the roof shingle and act like a
sponge soaking up water after a good rain. Eventually the moss will cause roof leaks if not
treated. Roof moss also accumulates on the North side of the home or where shade is most
prevalent but grows on all the surface area of your asphalt roof!
Roof algae, once attached to a shingled roof, feeds on the dead organic matter used in the
manufacturing process of the shingle.
As the fungus breaks down the asphalt shingle, the ceramic granules protecting the surface of
the shingle are loosened and begin to fall off. This causes the roof to deteriorate prematurely
and diminishes the roof\'s abilities to reflect heat rays. If not treated, the roof algae will reduce
the life of your roof, diminish your home's curb appeal and increase your home cooling
expenses.
Exclusive Home Services safely cleans and treats your asphalt roof thus killing the algae
spore. The algae dies and is no longer growing into or feeding on your asphalt roof.
The ugly green and black algae dissapears like magic.
Your Roof Will Look Like New with out spending allot of money!
