Roof Mold Stains:Profit from Stains....
Roof Stain Origin:Removing and Protect...
It's not soot, or dirt.. Roof stains come from "cyano bacteria gloeocapsa magma" algae spores landing roof shingles and tiles.
Roof mold and algae on roof shingles feed on organic crushed limestone in shingles.
Fungus, shingle mold and roof mildew grow on top of roof algae, but removing stains is possible.
Homeowners who find mold spores on a shingle care enough to remove the roof mold and mildew.
Over time weather and rain enable roof algae and black mold streaks, or mold and mildew stains to reproduce. This indicating the need to remove black and green roof mold with low pressure roof cleaning using a quality chemical roof shingle cleaner.
Roof Mold, Mildew and Algae Stain Survival
Roof shingle stains need ideal weather (Heat, and Moisture ) and food.
Shingle mold and algae stains get heat from the sun.
Roof algae stains get moisture from rain and dew.
Algae and mold roof stains get nutrients from limestone filler in the shingle.
Limestone and weather you can't prevent, so cleaning roof shingles relies on annual removal of roof mold and algae to make the roof be clean and curb appeal increased.
Roof Stains Rapid Spread

Algae on your Roof
Gloeocapsa Magma is the primary species of algae causing discoloration of asphalt shingles that has been observed throughout the United States and is commonly referred to as "fungus or mold." This discoloration manifests itself in a black streaking appearance and is often associated tree droppings, soot, dirt, or a loss of surface granules, resulting in the premature replacement of a functional roofing system. Another amification of algae stains are increased roof temperatures, due to the darkened surface, which lead to increased cooling costs.
According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer's Association, (ARMA) asphalt shingles more than 20 years old, are a prime candidate for replacement. A brief history of the asphalt roofing market may be helpful to understand the magnitude of this problem. Roughly 12.5 billion square feet of various asphalt shingle products are manufactured annually, that's enough to cover more than 5 million homes every year. Asphalt shingles are the leading choice for residential roofing in the US because they provide quality, durability, and versatility at an economical price. Furthermore, four out of every five homes are roofed with asphalt shingles in the United States.
So why are your asphalt shingles turning black?
Algae needs three criteria to grow. Heat, moisture, and nutrients. Gloeocapsa Magma thrives in warm humid environments and normally appears on the North slope where additional shade and moisture support its growth. Gloeocapsa produces its own energy source, and feeds on inorganic materials like calcium carbonate, an asphalt shingle filler material. Feeding on inorganic material distinguishes algae from fungus and mildew, which require organic material to survivie. Thus, elimination of algae may reduce fungus and mildew accumulation; so will removing loose debris from your roof deck and gutters. (Leaves, twigs, and tree bark)
These roof stains are seen in nearly eighty percent of the United States in various degrees. In the Midwest, it is most often confined to the north slope, while some homes along the Seaboard or Gulf States may be completely covered with algae in as little as four years. Also, this particular algae strain has become hardier and is able to migrate to less humid environments than it has in the past. In areas where it traditionally has been found, staining is manifesting earlier and more severely on a greater number of roofs.
How can you correct this problem?
The first line of defense is to purchase algae resistant (AR) shingles. The 3M company (Industrial Mineral Products Division) produces a copper roofing granule that is purchased by many asphalt manufacturers. Based on twenty-five years of research on growth-inhibiting effects, 3M found that roofing granules that are evenly distributed, at a minimum ten percent application, give uniform protection to all roofing granules. It should be noted that not all companies purchasing the cooper granule adopt the ten percent application in their production. Only companies who subscribe to the 3M ten percent system are permitted to advertise the 3M Algae Block trade mark. Those using the product in lesser quantities use other phrases like, algae resistant, or use their own trade names. Check the manufacturer's warranty for limitations on the algae resistance effectiveness. You will find a range out to fifteen years duration.
ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufactures Association) technical bulletin Catalogue No.217-RR-89, on algae discoloration of roofs, states, algae is difficult to remove from roofing surfaces, but may be lightened by applying a solution of chlorine bleach, trisodium phosphate, and water. However, these ingredients may vary between manufacturers and the amount of discoloration. Adding, "the effectiveness of such cleaning techniques is only temporary, and discoloration will likely recur." Further, cautions from ARMA state, "be sure to apply it carefully to avoid damage to other parts of the building and its surrounding landscape."
A concern for home owners using this generic approach, sodium hyporclorate is a form of bleach (organic complex containing chlorine) and as such, can cause premature chemical degradation of asphalt roofing shingles. In short, causing a shingle to become brittle. Chlorine-based cleaning solutions are also harmful to plants!
Before making a capital improvement to your roofing system, ask your roofing contractor about roof cleaning and roof maintenance. You may find your roof can be cleaned and postpone the replacement for several years. If your roofing contractor does not offer this service, there are shingle care contractors who specialize in roof preventative maintenance to alleviate and prevent mold and algae.
