Does your roof have black streaks?  These unsightly black strains or streaks on your roof are caused by a hardy type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma.  The algae feeds on the crushed limestone that is used in asphalt shingles and the organic material on other roof surfaces.  The algae spores are transported to roof tops by wind and animals then it spread down the slope of the roof by rain.  These streaks are not only unsightly but cause the roof covering to fail prematurely.

If your shingles are still in good shape but have roof algae on them, having your roof cleaned will allow you to get the full life out of your shingles, saving you thousands of dollars.

Dominion Home Services uses the soft washing process recommended by asphalt roofing manufactures.  Soft Washing is a chemical application using biodegradable solution followed by a low-pressure rinse.  Soft Washing eliminates the problem incorporating a safer, biodegradable and phosphate-free solution to sanitize, penetrate bacteria, and eradicate the root cause to produce a long-lasting, deep clean result.

Unfortunately, your tile, shingle, or metal roof will get dirty again, and sometimes much faster than the first time. Soft wash roof cleaning is recommended annually to every two years depending upon the climate.  Dominion Home Services have the experience to inspect the roof and determine proper cleaning frequency based upon roofing materials and the current roof condition. Add roof maintenance to your list of annual tasks and lessen potential issues, saving you in the long run. 

Dominion Home Services offers low-cost maintenance programs, to help keep your roof looking new, and help it last as long as possible.  Call 778.686.2537 today for a FREE ESTIMATE.
