Those black streaks on your roof aren't dirt — they're Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it shortens roof life and voids many shingle warranties.
Our soft-wash roof shampoo uses low pressure and a targeted treatment to kill algae, moss, and lichen at the root. It's the only cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) — and it restores your roof without the damage high pressure would cause.
Problems we solve
- Black streaks and stains running down the roof
- Green moss or lichen growing between shingles
- Premature shingle deterioration and granule loss
- Concern about voiding the shingle manufacturer warranty
The Triton difference

Removing algae and moss protects shingle granules and helps you avoid an early, costly roof replacement.
Manufacturer-compliant
Our low-pressure method follows ARMA guidelines so your warranty stays intact.

A clean, reflective roof absorbs less heat, which can ease the load on your cooling system.

Frequently asked questions
Never with our method. We never use high pressure on a roof. Soft washing is the ARMA-recommended approach and is completely safe for asphalt, cedar, tile, and metal roofs.
Many stains lift immediately, while remaining algae continues to die off and rinse away with rain over the following days for a fully restored look.
