What are the black streaks on my roof?
The fact is that in most cases, the black stains and streaks are a form of algae, moss. Algae thrives in humid and warm climates and usually appears first on the North slope of the roof where shade is prevalent and moisture tends to accumulate. The result is usually a black streaked roof. Roof moss is more prevalent in the North and Canada and it is an actual moss growth like what can be found on a tree or rock. Roof algae and moss spores are carried by the wind until all roofs in the area are infested.
Roof moss is very serious because it grows underneath the roof shingle and acts like a sponge soaking up water after a good rain. Eventually the moss will cause roof leaks if not treated. Roof moss also accumulates on the North side of the home or where shade is most prevalent.
