A house is arguably one of the biggest financial investments you’ll ever make. A home’s roof plays a significant role in our determining a home’s worth. Over time, unwanted fungus and moss can start to develop, grow and make its home atop your home. Gleo capsa magma is a fungus that often grows on roofs. It appears as dark black or greenish stains or streaks on your roof’s shingles. Shingles are made with limestone as a filler in the asphalt. These shingles hold moisture and organic “bacteria food” material longer (especially on the North side in parts of the USA) than the paper/asphalt/ ceramic shingles of the 1980’s. These bacteria are indeed airborne. This Cyanobacteria causes substantial destruction to roofs causing shingle decay and loss of reflective power. Over time, Gleocapsa magma breaks down the shingles by feeding off of the limestone granules embedded in the shingles. This decreases a roof’s ability to reflect ultraviolet rays of light and shortens the life of the roof.

Cleaning your roof is a way to steer potential buyers away from being duped into drawing conclusions about your roofs health merely based on its appearance.
