What causes dirty shingles in Lancaster, PA?

Roof Cleaning Lancaster PA by Liberty SoftWash. Black stains and streaks on asphalt shingles are caused by algae growth. These stains are not only unsightly but, they are actually destroying your shingles, shortening your roof’s life span. When it rains, the algae is spread, causing black streaks and stains. If these stains are left untreated, the black streaks will continue to grow causing lichen and finally growing into moss. When lichen and moss are allowed to grow, their roots penetrate the shingle furthering the deterioration and destruction process.

Just because you have dirty shingles in Lancaster, PA, doesn’t mean you need to replace your roof. A roof replacement can cost thousands while our SoftWash roof cleaning process will return your shingles to like new condition at a fraction of the cost. Don’t replace it, clean it!
