ROOF WASHING

You may have noticed some roofs with dark patches or black streaks that seem to run down the slopes of the house. These dark patches can be removed! Using the best soft washing practices, Patriot Exterior Wash in San Antonio, TX, can help remove unwanted dark patches and streaks on your roof.


The dark patches on your roof are bacteria/algae (gleocapsa magma) that accumulate over time, appearing as dark patches on your shingles. Shingles can hold moisture and other bacteria-attracting substances due to the limestone in the asphalt. Gleocapsa magma thrives on the lime in the shingles of your roof. Consuming this lime shortens the life expectancy of your roof, so it is important to get professionals to handle the cleaning process to clean your roof thoroughly.
