Stains On The Roof?

 The black stains on you roof shingles are caused by a black algae, typically called Gloeocapsa magma. Algae is more likely to grow on the shaded sections and the north side of the building. 

  What is Roof Algae?

Algae will spread from one infected roof to another via airborne spores. These spores land randomly on your roof and take root on the shingles. A protective sheath creates the dark color the algae forms to protect its self from UV rays. Causing Energy loss.

 How Does It Grow?

Roof Algae require moisture and the proper temperatures to grow on your roof. Dew is the primary moisture that causes algae to grow on your roof.
