The black staining and streaks on roofs are caused by a bacterium named Gloecapsa Magma which is literally feeding on and digesting the material in the shingles.
Over time, Gloecapsa Magma bacteria breaks down the singles by feeding on the limestone granules embedded in the shingles. This damage to shingles causes premature aging, rotting and granule loss which in turn drastically shortens the life of the roof.
Moss growing on roofs is another destructive living organism. Moss growing on roofs derives its nutrients by decomposing the roof shingles. Similar to the Gloecapsa Magma bacteria, moss growth on roofs greatly shortens the life of the roof.
Insurance companies in the state of Georgia are cancelling home owners insurance policies if home owners don’t eradicate Gloecapsa Magma and moss growing on roofs.
