Local note
What the shingle makers say
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association says the black streaks are an algae (Gloeocapsa magma) and are mainly a looks problem, while moss can lift shingle edges. Its advice is a cleaning solution and a low-pressure rinse, and never a pressure washer on asphalt shingles.
Questions people ask
Does roof cleaning damage shingles?
A pressure washer can, because it strips the granules off asphalt shingles. That's why we soft wash: a cleaning solution and a low-pressure rinse.
Are the black streaks hurting my roof?
The roofing industry says the streaks are mostly a looks problem. Moss is different: it can lift the edges of shingles, so it's worth removing.
Why is the moss only on one side?
Moss grows on the roof slopes that get the least sun, usually the north side, because they stay damp longest.
