Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa Magma — a shingle-eating algae. Our soft wash kills it at the root, safely, without voiding your warranty. Serving Columbus and all of Franklin County.
Columbus roofs are prime targets for Gloeocapsa Magma — the cyanobacteria responsible for the black streaking you see running down from ridges throughout the city. Ohio's combination of summer humidity, tree canopy shade, and moisture cycling creates ideal conditions for algae colonization on asphalt shingles throughout the Columbus metro. Our ARMA-compliant soft wash roof cleaning service removes the streaking and biological growth safely, without damaging shingles or voiding manufacturer warranties, and delivers results that hold 3–5 years in Central Ohio's climate.
The solution is not pressure washing your roof. High-pressure water strips the protective granule coating from asphalt shingles, voids most manufacturer warranties, and can force water under shingle laps.
The right method is a soft wash — low-pressure water delivery combined with a professional-grade algaecide that kills organic growth at the source. Most treated roofs look dramatically improved within a single day and remain clean for 3–5 years.
Central Ohio's weather makes roof algae a near-universal problem. The combination of summer humidity, shade from mature trees, and freeze-thaw moisture cycling creates ideal conditions for algae and moss colonization.
We document every roof cleaning job with before-and-after photos. For roofs with significant moss or lichen growth, we provide a realistic assessment before we start.
