Professional Roof Cleaning Services in Southeastern PA
You glance up at your roof and notice dark streaks spreading like bruises across the shingles. It’s not just dirt—it’s likely algae, mold, or lichen, slowly eating away at your roofing materials. Not only does it ruin curb appeal, but it also shortens the life of your roof. That’s when it’s time to call Softwash Platoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my roof turning black or streaky?
Those dark streaks are typically caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone in shingles. It retains moisture and leads to further biological growth like moss and lichen.
Can pressure washing damage my roof?
Yes. High-pressure systems can strip away granules, loosen shingles, and void roofing warranties. Soft washing is the safe, approved alternative.
How long do softwash roof cleaning results last?
Because soft washing kills the bacteria and spores at the root, results often last 4–6 times longer than pressure washing—typically 3–5 years.
Will the chemicals harm my plants or landscaping?
No. Our biodegradable, proprietary solutions are designed to be tough on grime and gentle on your lawn and garden. We always pre-soak and protect landscaping during treatment.
