Roof Cleaning Little Rock Arkansas

A few things we thought you might like to know about having your Little Rock Arkansas roof cleaned.







What is on your roof?

Gleocapsa magma is normally referred to as an algae in that they are green but they are actually a species of cyanobacteria. There are other strains of blue-green algae that attack the surface of roofing materials but Gleocapsa magma is the most common.

These bacteria have a filament root system that will erode your roof while feeding off of the limestone filler in your shingles. This along with the acids in their waste and the heat created from roof darkening will cause your shingles to fail prematurely.

A 30 year shingle should not need to be replaced after only 10 years!

Roofs whether shingle, tile, slate, shake, membrane or metal will generally lose up to 50% of their service life due to infestation from micro organisms.

This loss of service life can cause the property owner tens of thousands of dollars in service and replacement costs.

How can your problem be solved?

These bacteria and algae must be treated with the proper combination of detergents and algaecides to ensure a 100% kill ratio. This cleaning will more closely resemble a pest control application.

Pressure washing your shingle roof is not the answer. It will not remove the roots and it will blast the spores deeper into the shingle only to grow back later. Not to mention the pressure alone will destroy your shingles.

Much like killing a weed, a treatment must be used to reach all the way to the root. Our Non Pressure roof cleaning system is the answer.

How long will this treatment last?

I normally ask my customers this question.

“How long did it take for your roof to get this way?” If your roof is 10 years old and it was year 8 before the algae stains began to appear then it is very likely that it will be that long before they return.

What is our Algae Free Guarantee?


When we clean your roof we guarantee that there will not be a trace of gleocapsa magma left, and no algae stains will return for at least two years. If so much as a spot returns before then we’ll be back to remove it.
