    What causes black streaks on a roof in Jacksonville’s Buildings?

    Black streaks on a roof are usually caused by Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on limestone in shingles and spreads fastest in humid climates. It’s common on Jacksonville roofs due to year-round moisture near the coast. Left untreated, it darkens shingles and can shorten roof lifespan. Soft washing removes it without damaging the surface.
