Black streaks on your roofing definitely don’t shout “curb appeal!” from the rooftops. But it can also pose a threat to the value of your property. Get the scoop – and the solution – from the professionals who know it best.
Know the risk of black streaks
Florida has a lot of suns, a lot of heat, and, often, a lot of humidity. This creates the perfect melting pot for a type of bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma to thrive.
It’s important to remember that gloeocapsa magma isn’t a stain. It’s a living, breathing organism.
And it feeds on your roof.
Homeowners can take a collective gasp of horror when they consider this – and for good reason! These black streaks:
- Eat the particles that make up your shingles. As they eat more, the black stain spreads with it
- Destroy roofing quality. Think about a piece of decking that starts to rot away. The same concept applies to your shingles at the hands of black streaks.
- Compromise your insurance policy. Most homeowner insurance policies include a stipulation that you must get regular roof cleaning. With black streaks, you can face a fine or policy cancellation.
