Safe, Soft Wash Roof Cleaning That Protects Your Shingles

​

If your roof has black streaks, dark staining, or visible algae growth, it’s not just dirt — it’s organic growth feeding on your shingles.

​

At Puckett Exteriors, we provide professional roof cleaning in Columbus and surrounding areas including Seymour, Madison, Batesville, Lawrenceburg, and Versailles.

​

We use a manufacturer-recommended soft washing process — never high pressure — to safely remove algae, mold, and staining while extending the life of your roof.

​

What Causes Black Streaks on Roofs?

Those dark streaks you see are typically caused by a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma.

In Southern Indiana’s humid climate, this algae:

• Feeds on the limestone filler in shingles

• Spreads quickly across shaded areas

• Holds moisture against your roof

• Causes premature deterioration

Left untreated, algae can shorten the lifespan of your shingles and lead to costly replacement years earlier than necessary.

​

Why Pressure Washing a Roof Is a Mistake

High pressure can:

• Remove protective granules

• Void shingle warranties

• Force water under shingles

• Cause long-term structural issues

That’s why we never use traditional pressure washing on asphalt shingles.

Instead, we use a soft wash roof cleaning system that applies specialized cleaning solutions at low pressure. These solutions kill algae at the root, break down organic growth, and restore the roof’s original appearance without damage.

​
