Many homeowners here in Middle Tennessee (Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Goodlettsville, Columbia, Smryna-Find all of our Service Areas here) live with black, ugly stains on their expensive roofs.
You wouldn’t let mold and mildew grow inside your house. Why would you leave it on top of your house?
According to Dr. Morgenroth (an adjunct professor of neurology at the U.M.) “It isn’t just aesthetics. The “dirt” on a roof actually shortens its life span and can even present a health hazard”. Most homeowners are unaware that these stains are far worse for your roof than just the appearance and curb appeal of your home or business…
The Pressure King can Restore any Roof. We are experts when it comes to removing Gloeocapsa Magma from your home or business.
Dr. Victor H. Morgenroth worked on the Safety Division of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for 20 years, the Toxicology Division at the Center for Food Safety, and Nutrition in the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dr. Morgenroth discusses the reason for black stained roofs, the risks for leaving them this way, and the proper solution to removing them: Roof Cleaning.
The dirt isn’t just dust – It’s alive. Some of the black or very dark roof stains are caused by a resilient type of algae, Gloeocapsa magma (a type of blue-green algae commonly found in climates with warm, humid summers). The algae grow in standing water, as well as in our lakes and ponds. The algal spores are carried to our roofs from the water sources by the wind and birds, and then from roof to roof where it grows and feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and the real dirt on tile roofs maybe in some cases the tiles themselves. Worse still, as the algae grow, they retain water and foster the growth of other roof inhabitants.

Your Dirty Roof is Costing you Money!
According to Dr. Morgenroth “Furthermore, the “dark stains” on a roof act as a sponge to absorb the sun’s heat, which causes a rise in the temperature inside a home or building, creating higher air conditioning bills.”
