What’s That Black Stuff on My Roof? (And Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It)

Ever notice dark streaks creeping down your roof? That’s not just dirt—it’s Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on your shingles and thrives in humid environments.

Why it matters:

  • Those black streaks aren’t just ugly—they’re eating away at your roof.

  • Algae holds moisture, which leads to shingle deterioration and shortens roof lifespan.

  • It can spread quickly, especially in shaded areas or neighborhoods where nearby roofs are also affected.

And here’s the kicker: insurance companies have been known to deny roof claims if streaking and organic buildup are left untreated too long.
