Restoring Roofs in Wilmington, NC with our Roof Washing Service: A Case Study from the Landfall Community
At Tidewater Pro Wash, we believe every roof tells a story. It protects families, withstands the elements, and enhances the beauty of a home. But over time, even the sturdiest roofs can become dull and discolored due to algae, moss, and dirt buildup. And in that buildup of grime, the risk of the roof being damaged or not protecting the home correctly increases significantly. This was exactly the case for a recent client in the prestigious Landfall Community of Wilmington, NC.
The homeowner was frustrated with the unsightly dark streaks and stains that had taken over their once-beautiful roof. They knew something had to be done but wanted to ensure the solution would not compromise the integrity of their roof. That’s when they turned to Tidewater Pro Wash for our professional roof cleaning services.
The Problem: Why Dirty Roofs Are a Big Deal
Many homeowners don’t realize that those black streaks on their roof are often caused by a type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. Left untreated, this algae can spread rapidly, feeding on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Over time, this can lead to:
- Weakened Roof Structure: Algae, moss, and lichen can degrade roofing materials, shortening the lifespan of your roof.
- Higher Energy Costs: A dirty roof absorbs more heat, making your home less energy-efficient and increasing cooling costs.
- Curb Appeal Concerns: Streaks and stains are not just an eyesore—they can make a home look older and poorly maintained.
- Potential Health Risks: Organic growth can contribute to mold spores entering your home, affecting indoor air quality.
These issues were all too familiar to our Landfall homeowner, who was searching for a solution that wouldn’t void their roof warranty or cause further damage… and also, that wouldn’t cost a fortune. The alternative; a complete roof replacement was going to be thousands and thousands of dollars: a complete roof wash is a fraction of that cost.

The Solution: Wilmington’s Best Soft Wash Roof Cleaning
Unlike traditional pressure washing, which can be too harsh for roofs, our soft wash process is specially designed to clean roofs safely and effectively. In fact, this cleaning process is the only process recommended by the shingle manufacturers! Since it’s recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, or ARMA, we’re confident this is the safest, most effective method of cleaning and it will not void any manufacturer’s warranty. Here’s how we approach each roof cleaning project:
- Thorough Assessment: Before we begin, we carefully inspect the roof to identify problem areas and ensure it’s safe to clean.
- Specialized Cleaning Solutions: We apply a biodegradable cleaning solution that targets algae, moss, and other organic growth at their root.
- Low-Pressure Cleaning: Using gentle, low-pressure water, we rinse away debris without damaging shingles or tiles. This ensures the roof remains intact and warranty-compliant.
- Long-Lasting Results: Our cleaning process doesn’t just remove stains—it prevents them from coming back. We offer a 5-Year No Grow Guarantee, so homeowners can enjoy a clean, beautiful roof for years to come.
The Results: A Roof Transformed
The before-and-after photos speak for themselves. This Landfall home’s roof went from a stained and weathered appearance to looking almost brand new. The dark streaks and algae were completely removed, restoring the roof’s natural color and giving the entire home a refreshed, polished look. All the dark streaks were safely cleaned and the harmful, organic organisms were eradicated, leaving the home spotless, safe and healthy again.
The homeowner was thrilled—not only with the visual transformation but also with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their roof is protected from future damage.
