Arkansas Pro Wash recently completed this large commercial roof cleaning project in North Little Rock Arkansas. We have the experience, knowledge and capability to handle projects such as these with ease.

A few things we thought you might like to know…

What is on your Little Rock Arkansas roof?

Gleocapsa magma is normally referred to as an algae in that they are green but they are actually a species of cyanobacteria. There are other strains of blue-green algae that attack the surface of roofing materials but Gleocapsa magma is the most common.

These bacteria have a filament root system that will erode your roof while feeding off of the limestone filler in your shingles. This along with the acids in their waste and the heat created from roof darkening will cause your shingles to fail prematurely.

A 30 year shingle should not need to be replaced after only 10 years!

Roofs whether shingle, tile, slate, shake, membrane or metal will generally lose up to 50% of their service life due to infestation from micro organisms.

This loss of service life can cause the property owner tens of thousands of dollars in service and replacement costs.

How can your problem be solved?

These bacteria and algae must be treated with the proper combination of detergents and algaecides to ensure a 100% kill ratio. This cleaning will more closely resemble a pest control application.

Pressure washing your shingle roof is not the answer. It will not remove the roots and it will blast the spores deeper into the shingle only to grow back later. Not to mention the pressure alone will destroy your shingles.

Much like killing a weed, a treatment must be used to reach all the way to the root. Our Non Pressure roof cleaning system is the answer.

How long will this treatment last?

I normally ask my customers this question.

“How long did it take for your roof to get this way?” If your roof is 10 years old and it was year 8 before the algae stains began to appear then it is very likely that it will be that long before they return.

What is our Algae Free Guarantee?

When we clean your roof we guarantee that there will not be a trace of gleocapsa magma left, and no algae stains will return for at least two years. If so much as a spot returns before then we’ll be back to remove it.

Who are we and why are we the right company to clean your roof?

We are a professional exterior cleaning company that is dedicated to giving you the absolute best results with as little headache as possible. We understand that you have more important things to do than deal with unreliable contractors. Consider it taken care of when you hire Arkansas Pro Wash to restore the beauty to your property. We are fully insured, carry an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and network nationally to keep up to date with the latest industry standards.

Arkansas Pro Wash is the right company to clean your roof.

We specialize in projects just like yours. Our crews who are based right here in Little Rock have cleaned numerous commercial roofs in central Arkansas, as well as, large commercial buildings and properties throughout the state for management companies and municipalities.

But don’t take our word for it…

“Chris and the entire crew at Arkansas Pro Wash were easy to deal with, very professional and when they were finished our church looked like new again. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”

–Dale Wilkinson, First Landmark Missionary Baptist Church, Sheridan AR

“We had originally thought that our roof needed replaced after only ten years, but Chris came right out and did a demonstration to show us what a difference they could make. That was all it took to make our decision. Having our roof cleaned by Arkansas Pro Wash saved us thousands and our church looks better than ever.

-Ken McCool, Lost Creek Missionary Baptist Church, Sheridan AR

Here in Arkansas we all have the same problem. Mold , mildew and algae grow everywhere. Your siding and walkways easily become covered with it after just a few short years And the same goes for your shingle roof.

Will this damage your landscaping?

Unfortunately the algae growing on your roof is living breathing plant and has to be killed. The algaecides that we use do a great job at accomplishing this and are still eco-friendly, but in the wrong hands they can damage landscaping. We take every precaution to prevent this, such as, capturing runoff from downspouts and/or covering plants where there aren’t gutters. We also request that any landscaping be watered for three days before the roof is cleaned and for three days afterward. This will help to keep the impact on your landscaping to a minimum. This normally isn’t a big deal, but I like to be up front and honest about this. I will also be more than happy to walk around your property with you and point out any trouble spots and the precautions we will take.

Roof Cleaning: How To Clean A Roof

You've pulled into your driveway and for the first time you take notice. What are those horrible black streaks covering my roof? Perhaps reading this lens is the first time you have even thought about your roof in a long time. Go outside and take a look. We'll wait...

Okay. If you are like 90% of homeowners or business owners and your roof is more than 5 years old, you saw some type of growth. Before we get into what the growth is, it may best to describe how it looks. Did you see black streaks? How about any green growth? Perhaps you noticed lichen growth, little colonies that resemble a mushroom cap. Take a look at the picture to the left. Those are the black streaks in the top portion. Obviously there is a solution as you can see in the "after" picture. No Photoshop or trick photography. That is the same property after having a professional roof cleaning . Now its time to learn how to save your roof!

What Is On My Roof?

In short, it is a cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma.

From Wikipedia:

"Gloeocapsa magma is a species of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are an ancient line of photosynthesizing bacteria, which photolyze water generating oxygen gas. Ancient cyanobacteria were ancestral to the chloroplasts of all plants on earth. Gloeocapsa magma has gained notoriety in the Southeastern United States which is spreading throughout the Midwest. This particular type of cyanobacteria is responsible for creating black stains and streaks on roofs. The bacteria accumulate over time as it feeds on moisture and calcium carbonate. This accumulation begins to show the black stains as the cyanobacteria develop their dark and hard UV-protective outer coating."

The main sentence that I would like to focus upon includes the statement "feeds on moisture and calcium carbonate". Have you noticed the growth is worse under trees or on the north side of the building? These areas are generally more shielded from the sun and retain moisture for a longer period. Calcium carbonate is in your shingles. Mold also feeds on carbon and oils. There is even more of your shingle being eaten. Will your shingles be destroyed over night? Not at all. The degradation is very slow. Some may argue roof cleaning is for purely aesthetic reasons. Perhaps that is true, but I suppose it depends upon how much of a gambler you are. On the betting table is your $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000+ roof. Clean your roof for aesthetic reasons and curb appeal and slowing the deterioration of your shingles may be a side benefit.

Methods For Cleaning A Roof

Temporary fix or long term solution?

Your roof takes the brunt of abuse from the weather. It has to be strong to resist heavy rain, snow, and constant bombardment of UV rays from the sun. This does not mean your roof is indestructible. Asphalt shingles have a coating of mineral granules. This is the main protective coating against the elements. It also gives a shingle its color. These granules can be disturbed by simply walking on a roof. Pressure washing a roof with anything over 300 psi (not 3000 like most machines output) is a guaranteed way to blast away a substantial portion of that protection layer.

So immediately you can understand why I mention that hiring someone that is not a roof cleaning professional may not be in your best interest. High pressure not only will damage your roof, it doesn't really clean. It may take off the surface mold off the roof and appear clean but below the surface, Gloeocapsa Magma and any other mold spores are waiting for a little water and a few cloudy days to begin growing actively. Like chopping a weed off at the surface, pressure washing a roof with no fungicide is a very temporary fix. Professionals will use specialized cleaners that actually kill all chlorophyl sustained life. This gives you a long term solution for your roof's problem.

Bleach For Cleaning My Roof?

There are firms that are making claims against the use of sodium hypochlorite (the active ingredient of bleach) claiming the potential risk of damage to landscaping. Their claims are not unfounded but can be considered suspect. We'll revisit that in just a second. First, let's address the potential damage that can occur to sensitive plant life...

Bleach, in too strong of a dilution, can harm plants. Professional roof cleaners should make precautionary procedures a priority. Within the properly equipped roof cleaning contractor's arsenal are tarps, a ground man to keep landscaping watered and diluted and diversionary tubes or bags at the bottom of downspouts. Be diligent when questioning your contractor. How are they promising to keep your property protected? A good roof cleaner will bring an expensive array of chemical application pumps, safety harnasses and hose that is resistant to rupture. The right roof cleaning company will spend just as much time taking care of what's on the ground as they will on the rooftop.

Surface Cleaner On A Rope

The reason I mention that claims against sodium hypochlorite are suspect is because they often seemed to be followed with an alternative product they are trying to sell you. There are other oxidizing fungicides other than sodium hypochlorite (bleach) but they are not nearly as effective. Some companies use straight lye, also known as drain cleaner, on the shingles. The problem with alternative chemical solutions is they are often followed by pressure washing. In the picture is what I call the "surface cleaner on a rope". It is a neat looking tool but it carries its own risks.

First, this device is heavy. If the line used to feed it up and down the roof were to snap or break at sensitive couplers, the results could be disastrous to anything below. The second reality is that these types of surface cleaner require pressure to spin their spray bar. That means high pressure is running straight up and down your roof methodically taking those protective granules with it.

Which Roof Cleaning Method Is Correct?

Here is what shingle manufacturers recommend

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer's Association (ARMA) released a technical bulletin regarding the cleaning of asphalt shingles. A link to the full bulletin is posted in this article's reference links.

"Solutions for these ingredients may vary between shingle manufacturers
and depend on the amount of discoloration. Solutions range from one cup TSP, one gallon bleach and five
gallons of water, to one cup TSP and 2.5 gallons each of bleach and water."

There you have it direct from the horse's mouth. Also in the bulletin:

Caution!

High pressure washing systems for algae removal should not be used.

Just about every roofing contractor association and even owens Corning, one of the largest manufacturers of roofing shingles in the world recommends a low-pressure cleaning done with sodium hypochlorite... bleach. That's enough data for my company, PressurePros, Inc in Havertown, PA to assume this method is the correct one.
The Big Question About Roof Cleaning
Can I do this myself?

Over the years I have seen some very ambitious do-it-yourself projects that surprised the heck out of me in terms of workmanship and attention to detail. Can you perform your own roof cleaning. Of course. Just go into the task with your eyes open. On the plus side you may be able to save some money over hiring a contractor. On the con side are the risk for fall injury, possible chemical burns, and without enough manpower, the risk to your landscaping. Here are some tools you will need:

1. Ladder with roof saving "bullhorns" to reach the highest peak of your roof

2. Roof climbing safety gear including harness and anchor

3. If you are using household bleach, you will have to use it at nearly full strength. The average 3 bedroom two car garage home can easily eat over 50 gallons. (Plan on where you will dispose those plastic bottles.

4. A method to apply the cleaner. Pros use powered pumps such as pictured above.
5. A chemical filtering OSHA approved respirator

6. A method of catching runoff from gutters. You can wrap the draining end of your downspout in a trash bag.

7. A ground person to keep all vegetation constantly wet.

The Method For Cleaning

1. When you have attached your safety anchor and have your cleaning solution ready, you can begin wetting your landscaping. Keep in mind that rose bushes drink through their leaves so make certain everything is dripping wet. It is also a good idea to wet down your house. Dripping chemical can leave streaks that are nearly impossible to remove. Glass can also be etched.

2. Apply your chemical solution to your shingles. Shingles should be saturated just to the point where it begins running. The solution will turn white wherever there is growth. This is the oxidation process that will kill the Gloeocapsa Magma and any other mold spores. Lichen will turn white. Streaks that remain 15 minutes after application will need a second coating.

3. That's it. Let Mother Nature take her course. You will see improvement almost immediately. The next rainfall will remove any haziness and dilute the runoff to a safe level for your landscaping.

This is definitely on the high end of the risk factor scale for many reasons. By the time you buy your fall gear, ladder and cleaners and spend 6-8 hours on your roof, you may well have wished you hired a pro. that decision is yours to make. I want you to know exactly what you are getting into. PressurePros, inc assumes no liability in outlining the roof cleaning method above. you do so at your own risk.

Hiring A Roof Cleaning Contractor

When looking for a contractor it may not be in your best interest to shop with price in mind. Use this article as a guideline to asking questions. Check insurance and licensing requirements for your state. Make certain your contractor carries Workman's Compensation insurance as well. Talk to him or her about their methods, experience and attention to detail. Have them show you pictures of projects they have completed so you know what results to expect. With the right company you can expect a roof that looks new, your property value to increase and minimal to no damage to any of your landscaping. Certification is also a good sign that your contractor has been diligent in setting a standard for proffesional grade work.

Cleaning your Arkansas roof makes sense

2011-02-10T22:03:00.000-06:00

According to Dr. Victor H Morgenroth, who is a semi-retired adjunct professor at UM;

the " dirt " on roofs could actually be causing illness. Here is an excerpt from an article that was written by Dr. Morgenroth.

Having your roof cleaned actually makes sense.

It isn't just aesthetics. While people like to say that dirty roofs lower a property's value and may make it hard to sell, the "dirt" on a roof actually shortens its life span and can even present a health hazard. Furthermore, the "dark stains" on a roof act as a sponge to absorb the sun's heat, which causes a rise in the temperature inside a home or building, creating higher air conditioning bills.

The dirt isn't just dust – It's alive. Some of the black or very dark roof stains are caused by a resilient type of algae, Gloeocapsa magma (a type of blue-green algae commonly found in climates with warm, humid summers). The algae grow in standing water, as well as in our lakes and ponds. The algal spores are carried to our roofs from the water sources by the wind and birds, and then from roof to roof where it grows and feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and the real dirt on tile roofs maybe in some cases the tiles themselves. Worse still, as the algae grow, they retain water and foster the growth of other roof inhabitants.

The black stains are also very likely to harbor a number of molds or fungi. Unlike algae the fungi on our roofs lacks chlorophyll. They are unable to manufacture food from raw materials. So, it must get nutrition from some form of organic matter. To thrive, these heterotrophs, who used to be called saprophytes, also require a warm, humid environment.

Fungi normally begin their life cycle as an airborne spore that settles on roofs, especially the asphalt-shingle ones. The spores on the northern exposure of the roof stand a better chance of survival because that portion of the roof is the last part to dry after a rain or morning dew. This raises the humidity on the surface of the shingle, thus creating a perfect feeding and breeding ground.

The tar used in roofing is fossilized, dead organic matter -- and an important food source for fungi. Asphalt, at the granule base, is normally consumed first. Once these granules dislodge, accelerated deterioration will occur. Ceramic granules represent the outer hard shell that protects against hail and other falling debris. Ceramic granules protect against damaging UV radiation and insulate the roof against extreme heat. So you can understand that their dislodgement by the growing fungal colonies can be detrimental to our roofs' longevity. Surprisingly, the blue-green algae are also food for the fungi.

While not all mold (fungi) and algae pose a health danger, some are harmful, especially for us older folks, younger children and people who suffer from asthma and respiratory problems. Their spores, which are on your roof, can get inside your home because they end up on the driveway and walkways from rain, and are easily tracked inside. They can even be drawn into our air conditioning systems and eventually populate our ducts.

Different mold species can have varying health effects, but it is important to remember that any excessive mold growth needs to be taken care of, regardless of the species. Any excessive mold growth can lead to increased allergies, toxicity, and house/building structural problems.

What not to do when cleaning your roof!

2011-02-02T21:37:00.000-06:00

These are pictures of a roof that someone has attempted to pressure wash. Please, at all costs do not let a high pressure washer near the shingles on your roof.... The high pressure will blow away granules on your shingles decreasing their lifespan and putting your home at risk.

At Arkansas Pro Wash we use a Non Pressure Roof Cleaning System to remove all of that nasty algae and protect your home.

Plus, we will warranty your roof cleaning for 2 years. You wouldn't see that if a roof was just pressure washed!

So, give us a call today and we'll have your home looking better than ever "safely" before you know it!

What Are The Black Stains On My Roof?

A type of algae, known as Gloeocapsa Magma, causes the damaging black stains on asphalt shingles. This type of algae thrives in the humidity that we have here in Arkansas. The algae feeds on the crushed limestone additive in asphalt shingles making your roof the perfect environment for the algae to grow. Rain spreads the algae down the roof causing the black streaks to spread at a rapid rate. These streaks not only hurt your homes curb appeal but ultimately will cause the shingles to fail prematurely by not allowing the shingles to reflect heat properly. Visit us at www.arprowash.com or call (870) 942-6543 to learn more.

Don't replace your Arkansas Roof.... Clean it!

A large number of Arkansas Roofs are replaced long before needed. This is not because of their functionality. A great number of Arkansas Roofs don't need to be replaced, only a simple cleaning is needed. Just as mold and mildew can grow on your house, mold and algae can land and grow on your roof due to airborne spores. Replacing your roof because of this algae is like replacing your house instead of having it cleaned; it simply doesn't make sense

If your shingles are in good shape a new roof is not the answer. Arkansas Pro Wash can safely remove the algae without damaging the shingles using a no pressure cleaning technique that is recommended by shingle manufacturers.
