Gloeocapsa Magma and Lichen are Your Roof Shingles' Worst Enemies
Picture
WARNING: Soft washing (pressure washing) roof shingles make as much sense as watching a roof deteriorate until you have to replace it.
​

NOTICE: The algae, mold, moss and lichen infestation growth is aggressively embedded between the roof shingle granules. Attempting to remove the infestation growth with low pressure including roof soft washing, 
roof shampoo washing or household beach cleaning can rip or pull up the algae, moss and lichen along with the shingle granules. 

​The horrific infestation that is rapidly growing on homeowners and business owners roofs throughout Virginia Beach, Chesapeake VA, Suffolk VA, Hampton Roads VA, Williamsburg VA and Northern VA have destroyed the curb appeal of most properties with asphalt and slate roofs.
​Unfortunately, because the roof infestation or roof stains are labeled as a cosmetic issue and haphazardly misdiagnosed as jet fuel, tree sap, airplane waste, bad shingles, dirty roof, tree pollen, poor attic ventilation or shingle discoloration, some property owners ignore their expensive roof or watch it deteriorate until they have no option left, but to replace it. 


​The truth is, the unattractive roof infestation or roof stains are not simply a cosmetic issue, they are the scabbard/protective covering formed by an aggressive algae, called Gloeocapsa Magma. Gloeocapsa Magma can affect you, the property owner as follows:
• Obviously, a Gloeocapsa Magma infested roof makes a home or business look dirty, unattractive, unhealthy and neglected! 
• Gloeocapsa Magma not only looks terrible, it can contribute to the growth of mold, moss and lichen which can also cause damage to the roof shingle as well as cause other problems throughout the structure.
• Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on limestone which is an important component introduced into the shingle composition to add weight to the shingle. Because Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on limestone, it can weaken the shingle, therefore, shortening the life of the roof shingle.
• Insurance Companies are now issuing “Cancellation Notices” to property owners with algae, moss and lichen infested roofs. 
According to many of our most recent customers, they were issued a “Cancellation Notice” from their Insurance Company to either replace the roof, have the roof properly cleaned or face immediate cancellation. Insurance Companies recognize the seriousness of an algae, moss and lichen infested roof.
• A roof replacement is expensive! Additionally, a roof replacement only gives the appearance of a Gloeocapsa Magma-free roof for several years.
Because Gloeocapsa Magma is an airborne spore it can attach itself to a new roof, causing visible unattractive roof stains in approximately
​three to five years. 

NOTE: Algae Relief Shingles, Algae Resistance Shingles, etc. do not guarantee a stain-free roof.
