Gloeocapsa Magma: The Hidden Threat to Your Asphalt Shingle Roof

What is Gloeocapsa Magma?
A type of cyanobacteria that feeds on the limestone in asphalt shingles, leaving black streaks and reducing roof longevity.

How It Harms Your Roof:

  1. Shingle Degradation – Causes premature aging and granule loss.
  2. Increased Heat Absorption – Dark stains trap heat, raising energy bills.
  3. Moisture Retention – Leads to moss/lichen and potential wood rot.
  4. Compromised Warranty – Neglecting treatment may void manufacturer warranties.

Safe Removal: Soft Washing
Unlike pressure washing, soft washing removes bacteria without harming shingles. Drone Clean USA provides 5-year prorated cleaning warranties and uses drone tech to safely clean from the ground, especially for multi-story homes.
