Professional soft wash roof cleaning for Fort Mill's growing communities. We remove black streaks and algae from homes in Baxter Village, Regent Park, Massey, and throughout York County.
Fort Mill has exploded with new development over the past two decades, but even the newest homes aren't immune to roof staining. The Catawba River runs through York County, adding humidity to an already humid climate. This moisture feeds Gloeocapsa Magma, the algae that causes those dark streaks running down your shingles.
Many Fort Mill homeowners relocated from drier climates and are surprised when their roof starts showing stains after just a few years. The combination of southern humidity, warm temperatures, and frequent rainfall creates conditions where algae can establish and spread across any roof surface.
Fort Mill's master-planned communities often have homes built close together with similar construction dates. When one roof in the neighborhood shows staining, nearby homes typically aren't far behind. The algae spreads through airborne spores, so proximity to affected roofs accelerates growth on yours.

Manufacturer-approved soft wash methods

We apply our cleaning solution at under 300 PSI - less pressure than a garden hose. The solution kills algae and organic growth without damaging shingles.
Light staining disappears immediately. Heavy growth turns brown and washes away naturally with Fort Mill's regular rainfall over the following weeks.
