What Causes the Black Streaks?

What Causes the Black Streaks?

What Causes the Black Streaks?

The most common cause of dark roof streaks is Gloeocapsa magma, a type of blue-green algae.
This bacterium:
Feeds on moisture
Expels oxygen
Spreads quickly across shingles
Creates the black streaks and blotches seen on many homes
These black stains trap heat and block sunlight, preventing the sun from drying the roof properly. Over time, this buildup accelerates wear on your shingles.

What About Lichen and Moss?

What Causes the Black Streaks?

What Causes the Black Streaks?

Lichen is a mix of algae and fungus.
It attaches firmly to the granules of your shingles and:
Creates permanent stains
Holds moisture
Slowly breaks down roofing material
If moss begins growing, the problem becomes even more serious — moss roots can lift shingles and cause water intrusion.
