Why Roofs Turn Black in Mississippi & Louisiana

The dark streaks you see on many roofs are usually caused by algae growth known as Gloeocapsa Magma. This algae thrives in warm, humid climates like Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana.


Over time, moisture and humidity allow algae, mildew, moss, and bacteria to spread across your roof surface, leaving behind:

  • Black streaks

  • Green algae buildup

  • Moss growth

  • Dirty roof discoloration

  • Premature roof aging


Many homeowners think these stains are permanent, but professional roof cleaning can safely restore the appearance of your roof.


Why High Pressure Roof Cleaning Can Cause Damage

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is trying to pressure wash a roof with high pressure.


Using excessive pressure on shingles can:

  • Remove protective granules

  • Shorten roof lifespan

  • Cause leaks

  • Damage shingles

  • Void roofing warranties


That is why professional roof cleaning should always use the proper soft washing process instead of aggressive high pressure cleaning.


Why Soft Washing Is the Best Roof Cleaning Method

Soft washing uses low pressure combined with professional cleaning solutions to safely eliminate algae, mildew, and organic growth at the source.


Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing:

  • Uses low pressure

  • Safely cleans shingles

  • Kills algae and bacteria

  • Provides longer-lasting results

  • Helps prevent future growth

  • Reduces the risk of roof damage


This method is recommended for most asphalt shingle roofs throughout Mississippi and Louisiana.

  • Black streaks on shingles

If you notice any of these issues, professional roof cleaning can help restore your roof before the buildup becomes worse.
