What are those black streaks on my roof?

Your roof is an essential part of your property as it keeps you and your valuables protected from weather elements. Over time, dirt, debris, mold, moss, mildew, Gloeocapsa magma. and other contaminants accumulate, making it to lose its color and attractive looks. These Gleocapsa magma thrive in warm and humid temperatures and generally grows on the north side of your rooftop. If the contaminants are left for long, they degrade the roof prematurely, which ends up costing you a lot in repairs and creating premature aging and cracking of your shingles or tiles, ultimately drastically reducing the life of your roof. Within time it diminishes your roof’s ability to reflect heat rays, weakens the wood, reduces curb appeal, and increases your home cooling expenses.
