PROTECT YOUR HOME'S ROOF WITH EXPERT ROOF CLEANING
#1 Misconception of roof algae among many home and business owners and even roofing companies
Roof Washing & Roof Maintenance
Restore. Protect. Extend the Life of Your Roof.
At Veterans Southern Pro Wash LLC, we believe in truth, transparency, and total property protection.
Every week, we meet homeowners and business owners who were told by roofing contractors that their roofs needed replacement, when in reality, they simply needed professional roof cleaning.
Let’s be honest, why would a roofing company tell you that your roof just needs cleaning when they can sell you a full replacement? The reality is, most of those dark streaks, stains, and discoloration are not damaged at all, they’re caused by roof algae known as Gloeocapsa Magma. This organic growth feeds on the limestone filler in shingles, creating black streaks that trap heat, accelerate wear, and destroy curb appeal.
What most roofing contractors won’t tell you is this:
Your roof can often be restored for a fraction of the cost of replacement, safely, effectively, and without any damage.
The Truth About Roof Algae
Industry studies show that the majority of roofs are replaced prematurely, not because they’re leaking or damaged, but because of unsightly surface stains. In most cases, a roof replacement can cost 10x more than a professional cleaning.
Our proven Low-Pressure Roof Soft Wash System removes:
- Gloeocapsa Magma (black streak algae).
- Mold, mildew, and lichen.
- Moss and environmental pollutants.
- Organic buildup that causes heat retention and premature shingle aging.
You don’t need a new roof, you need the right company with the right process to clean it the right way.

So you ask, What is Roof Algae?
In many regions across the country “especially the Southeastern USA” roof algae or (Gloeocapsa Magma) has become a very serious problem for home and business owners alike. Gloeocapsa Magma is an airborne algae that can land on any roof for no rhyme or reason, though it does seem to be more prominent in areas saturated with a lot of trees. This type of algae also thrives in warm humid climates, usually first appearing on the north facing slopes of roofs where the right amount of shade and moisture are common. The roof algae then feeds on the crushed limestone which is used in the manufacturing of asphalt shingles, and as it rains the algae spreads down the roof causing "black streaks". If not properly maintained, the algae will take over the entire roof in a few short years turning the whole roof black and causing your shingles to become very brittle or painted metal surfaces to become faded and oxidized. Once the roof algae has landed on the roof, it will have to be exterminated and removed properly or it will continue to spread, it will never get better, or just go away on its own. This is where NO Pressure Roof Cleaning does the job and ensures that it is properly removed and managed from that point on.
What algae does to roofs in Gadsden, AL
When roof algae is not taken care of, it will stop the shingles from reflecting heat from the sun’s UV rays. When this happens, it can affect your home’s heating and cooling costs without you even realizing it. Also, because the shingles cannot reflect heat, their qualities start to diminish rapidly and prematurely. Some signs of wear are as follows: curled corners, wavy or humped shingles, broke or loose shingles, and an excess of shingle granules appearing in your gutters just to name a few. Not to mention, it’s very unsightly and diminishes a business or homes curb appeal and value.
