What causes black streaking on roofs?
Black streaks on the roof are caused by the growth of black mold. Black streaks typically show up on the North facing side of the house and roof, but the mold growth will occur in any moisture rich environment. As this mold grows, it retains more water leading to faster growth and eventually lichens and moss will grow that can permanently damage your home. No Pressure House Wash has safe and effective ways to remove mold, remove moss, and restore your roof.

How to remove moss from the roof?
The first step to cleaning moss from your roof is to physically remove large areas of growth. As moss grows, it retains more and more water...which allows it to grow even more quickly. This moss eventually grows under the shingles and can lead to lasting damage to your roof...and your home. These large areas of moss need to be removed without damaging the shingles underneath. Once the moss is removed, the entire roof needs to be treated to kill any remaining moss (and mold) to prevent regrowth. Let the professionals at No Pressure House Wash handle this project. DO NOT pressure wash your roof! This will cause lasting damage!
