Hey there, have you ever looked up at your roof and noticed dark streaks or patches? You might've thought, "Eh, just dirt." But here's the deal: those streaks could actually be messing with your health.
They're not just stains. They’re caused by Gloeocapsa magma—a cyanobacterium, often called blue-green algae. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it's very real. It feeds on the limestone in your shingles, loosens granules, traps moisture, and over time? It can damage your roof and mess with your indoor air quality.
Now, I'm not saying your roof's gonna collapse tomorrow—but the longer that algae sits there, the more damage it does. It holds moisture, invites mold, and turns your attic into a petri dish. That means higher energy bills, a shorter roof lifespan, and for some families—especially those with allergies or asthma—it could mean breathing in air that's been compromised by what's growing up top—though scientists are still studying exactly how much of an impact those tiny toxins might have indoors.
That's where Edwards Gutter Cleaning & Power Wash comes in.
They specialize in soft-wash roof cleaning, which means they use low pressure and roof-safe chemicals to clean off that algae without damaging your shingles. No pressure blasting. No harsh scrubbing. Just smart, safe cleaning that extends your roof's life and helps protect the air you breathe. Plus, they make sure to protect your plants and landscaping from runoff, so the cleaning is safe for your whole home environment.
And this isn't some pop-up operation.
