What Is Roof Washing?
Roof washing is a specialized soft washing process that safely removes algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria from your roof's surface. Using low-pressure water combined with professional-grade biodegradable cleaning solutions, we eliminate the organisms that cause those unsightly black streaks — without the high pressure that can damage shingles and void your roof warranty.
What Causes Those Black Streaks?
The dark streaks on your roof are caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that thrives in warm, humid climates like Charleston's. It feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, causing discoloration and premature aging. Left untreated, it can shorten your roof's lifespan by years. Our soft washing process kills this algae at the root, keeping your roof cleaner for up to 2–3 years.
Ideal For
- Asphalt shingle roofs
- Tile and metal roofs
- Homes with black streak stains
- Roofs near heavy tree cover
- Coastal properties with salt exposure
- Roofs showing algae or moss growth
Warranty-Safe Cleaning
No pressure, no damage
High-pressure washing strips the protective granules from asphalt shingles, voiding your manufacturer warranty and dramatically shortening your roof's life. Our low-pressure soft washing is the only manufacturer-approved method — it's safe for all roof types and backed by our satisfaction guarantee. Whether you're in Mount Pleasant, James Island, or Summerville, we'll protect your investment.
