Living in Dallas-Ft. Worth and the broader DFW area brings plenty of perks—warm weather, big trees, and beautiful neighborhoods—but that same climate also encourages the growth of a bacteria called Gloeocapsa magma. You’ve likely seen its handiwork: black streaks or stains on roofs across homes, churches, hotels, hospitals, and commercial buildings. Patriot Softwash’s residential roof cleaning is highly effective at removing these streaks and preserving the integrity of your shingles.
Those dark stains form as the bacteria feed on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. By the time streaks are visible, Gloeocapsa magma has often been eating away at your roof for months. Because these bacteria commonly appear alongside algae, lichens, and other contaminants, it’s smart to soft wash your roof as soon as you notice discoloration to stop further damage.
If black streaks have invaded your roof, Patriot Softwash can help. Our SoftWashing roof service removes bacteria, algae, and organic staining without the risks of high pressure. We use specially formulated cleaners and a gentle, low-pressure rinse to treat and lift contamination at the root. This method is safe for all roof types—from asphalt shingle to tile and metal—and helps extend roof life at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
From delicate stucco and limestone to brick, concrete, and large commercial properties—even expansive parking lots—the professionals at Patriot Softwash can safely soft wash or pressure wash almost anything.
