Those dark streaks are not dirt
Those dark streaks running down Putnam roofs are not dirt. They are algae, and once it takes hold it spreads across the whole north-facing slope. We clean it the way asphalt shingle makers actually recommend, with a low-pressure soft wash, not a machine that knocks the granules loose.
We are based in Pomfret, so Putnam roofs are a quick trip for us, from the older homes near downtown to the ranches out through West Putnam.
The method asphalt shingles are built for
ARMA, the asphalt roofing manufacturers association, recommends soft washing for algae and moss, not pressure. High pressure strips the protective granules and can void your shingle warranty. We apply a detergent that kills the algae and moss at the root, let it work, then rinse gently. The streaks lift and the roof stays clean far longer than a quick blast would leave it.
