MicroBond Roof · Spartanburg, SC
Those dark stains on your roof aren't just an eyesore — they're a living organism eating your shingles from the outside in. Our professional soft-wash roof cleaning eliminates it safely, without a drop of high-pressure water.
Those black streaks on your shingles are actually a specialized type of cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. It doesn't just sit on the surface; it feeds on the limestone filler used in modern asphalt shingles.
Left untreated, this organic growth acts like a heat sink, raising your attic temperatures and prematurely aging your roof by rotting the shingle mat from the inside out.
Algae streaks make even a new roof look old and neglected, often reducing perceived home value by up to 5%.
Dark stains absorb UV rays instead of reflecting them, significantly increasing your summer electricity bills.
The root systems of these organisms trap moisture against the shingle, leading to cracking and shingle failure.
We follow the strict cleaning guidelines established by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Our method kills the root of the problem without eroding your roof.
We begin by evaluating shingle health with ShingleScan™ and pre-wetting all surrounding vegetation to ensure your landscaping stays safe during the process.
Using a dedicated low-pressure pump (less pressure than a garden hose), we apply our proprietary biodegradable algaecide across the entire roof surface.
Once the chemical dwell time is complete, we rinse the roof and apply a neutralizer to halt the cleaning action, leaving your shingles clean and stable.
Taking it further
Roof cleaning removes the stains and stops active decay, but it doesn't restore the essential oils lost to time and UV exposure. If your roof is over 10 years old, consider our full rejuvenation package.
