  • Understanding Gloeocapsa Magma: The Menace on Your Roof and How SoftWashing Saves the Day

    If you've noticed unsightly black streaks creeping across your roof, you may be dealing with a common culprit: Gloeocapsa Magma. While the name may sound ominous, this microscopic organism poses a real threat to the appearance and integrity of your home. But fear not, because SoftWashing is here to combat this menace and restore your roof to its former glory.

    Gloeocapsa Magma, often referred to as roof algae, is a type of cyanobacteria commonly found in humid and warm climates. It thrives on moisture and feeds on the limestone filler used in asphalt shingles, causing those dreaded black streaks that can mar the beauty of your home's exterior. Left unchecked, this algae can spread rapidly, leading to unsightly stains and potentially damaging your roof's structural integrity.

    So, how can SoftWashing come to the rescue? Let's explore:

    1. SoftWashing Offers Gentle Cleaning Action: 

    Unlike abrasive pressure washing methods that can cause damage to delicate roofing materials, SoftWashing offers a gentle yet effective cleaning solution. By utilizing low-pressure streams of water combined with specialized cleaning agents, SoftWashing effectively removes Gloeocapsa Magma and other contaminants from your roof without causing harm.

    2. SoftWashing Affords Complete Coverage: 

    Gloeocapsa Magma can be stubborn and deeply ingrained in your roof's surface. SoftWashing ensures complete coverage, reaching even the most inaccessible areas to thoroughly clean your roof and eliminate algae growth. This comprehensive cleaning approach leaves your roof looking fresh, clean, and free from those unsightly and damaging black streaks.

    3. SoftWashing Provides Preventative Maintenance: 

    SoftWashing not only removes existing algae growth but also helps to inhibit future infestations. By eliminating the conditions that promote Gloeocapsa Magma growth and applying protective treatments, SoftWashing helps to prolong the life of your roof and prevent costly repairs down the line.
