What Exactly Is Gloeocapsa Magma?

No, not all of the black streaks and spots that appear on your rooftop are from dirt buildup - more likely, they're from a type of black algae buildup called gloeocapsa magma. Gloeocapsa magma is especially common in locations with high heat and humidity. It's important to get the algae build-up cleaned as soon as possible, because it can pass from rooftop to rooftop via wind, and quickly overtake an entire neighborhood. It can also cause shingle damage or even eventual leaks to your rooftop.

Rest assured, our team at Exquisite Exteriors can help you clean and prevent gloeocapsa magma from returning! Give us a call today at 865-269-8126 to schedule a pressure washing appointment.

How Can I Prevent Gloeocapsa Magma?

The single easiest way to prevent Gloeocapsa magma from returning is to have your rooftops regularly pressure washed - especially during the summer months, when the black algae most commonly appear. While traditional pressure washing is great for harder surfaces, like concrete, it isn't always the best option for your more sensitive rooftop shingles. Our soft washing process can help get rid of your black algae buildup, without the risk of further damage to your rooftop or shingles. Regular roof washing will also help to:

  • Increase your curb appeal
  • Maintain your businesses profitability
  • Spot damages before they grow larger and more expensive
  • Remove mold, algae, mildew, and plant buildup
  • Protect your investments for years to come!

Don't wait another day to make your rooftop algae disappear! Our team at Exquisite Exteriors is always happy to provide you with a free estimate for your roof washing project. Just give us a call today at 865-269-8126 - for a better, dependable clean.
