Roof Softwashing and Stain Removal
The safest and most effective roof softwashing in Baton Rouge
The Safest and Most Effective Roof Washing in Baton Rouge
Every year, roofs in Louisiana are plagued by black or green stains creeping across them. These unsightly stains are often caused by gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae. Not only do they make your roof look bad, but they also eat away at the composite of your shingles. This weakens them and shortens the lifespan of your roof.

Acadiana Softwash can restore your dirty roof to a like-new appearance. Traditional pressure washing won’t do the trick because it can’t remove these living organisms. Algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria require a soft wash solution to be effectively eliminated. By soft washing your roof, you can preserve the value of your home or business, maintain curb appeal, decrease utility costs, and maximize the life of your roof.

We Don’t Powerwash, We Softwash!
Every year roofs in Louisiana have black or green stains start creeping across them. The majority of these unsightly stains are linked to a type of algae called gloeocapsa magma. The spores spread across your shingles creating the unsightly “stains” on your roof. Aside from looking bad the algae are also slowly eating away at the composite that makes up your shingles. They feed on the limestone granules embedded in your shingles which weakens them and shortens the lifespan of your roof.
