Roof Cleaning Services in Conway, Arkansas
Black streaks on your Conway roof are not just an eyesore — they are a sign of living organisms actively damaging your shingles. Gloeocapsa magma, a type of cyanobacteria, causes those dark streaks and feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it shortens your roof’s lifespan and can void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Why Pressure Washing Damages Roofs
High-pressure washing strips the granules from asphalt shingles. Those granules are what protect your roof from UV radiation and weather. Once granules are blasted off, your shingles age rapidly and you may face early replacement costs. Any roofing manufacturer will tell you: high pressure on asphalt shingles is not an approved cleaning method.
The Soft Washing Solution
Soft washing uses low-pressure application — typically under 100 PSI at the surface — combined with a biodegradable sodium hypochlorite solution to kill algae, bacteria, mold, and moss at the root. The organisms die and rinse away without any mechanical damage to your shingles.
The ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) specifically recommends low-pressure soft washing with bleach-based solutions as the approved cleaning method for asphalt shingles. This method not only cleans but kills the organisms, which means your roof stays cleaner longer than with pressure washing alone.
What to Expect from a Roof Cleaning Service in Conway
A professional roof cleaning for a typical Conway home takes 2–4 hours depending on roof size and the degree of organic growth. Our technicians protect landscaping and surrounding surfaces before applying the cleaning solution. Results are typically visible immediately, though heavily stained roofs may require a second treatment.
Most Conway homeowners see their roofs remain clean for 2–4 years after a professional soft wash treatment, depending on tree coverage and sun exposure. North-facing slopes and shaded areas tend to re-grow algae faster than sunny exposures.
