Roof cleaning in Cayce, SC
Cayce sits on the west bank of the Congaree, with the Riverwalk on one side and the old streets of Granby on the other. Black streaks on a roof are algae feeding on the limestone in the shingle, and here they show up on older roofs under big trees. They spread down the shaded slope a little more every summer. We treat them at low pressure so the streaks die and the shingles stay put. We cover the Cayce Riverwalk, Old State Road, the 12,000 Year History Park side and everything between.

Why roofs streak in Cayce
Between the damp air off the Congaree next door and the shade from the mature trees on the older lots in Granby and the Avenues, a roof slope in Cayce can stay damp until midday. That is the slope that streaks first, and usually the one you cannot see from the road.
The treatment is chemical, not mechanical. It goes on gently, sits, and kills the algae where it grows. On older roofs under big trees, that matters, because pressure would take years off shingles that are already working hard. Our guide to soft washing versus pressure washing a roof explains why.
Gutters get flushed of whatever the roof sheds, beds get pre-wetted and rinsed, and walks and drives get rinsed afterwards so nothing is left behind on older drives and walks with years of build-up.
Moss and lichen die on the day and let go over the following weeks of rain. Scraping them off takes shingle with them, so we let the weather finish the job.

On the ground in Cayce
We work all over Cayce, including Granby, the Avenues and Knox Abbott Drive. The surfaces repeat from street to street, so here is how each one gets handled.
- Older roofs under big trees: treated from the ladder and the edge, never walked more than needed.
- Black streaks: gone on the day. Thick moss and lichen turn white as they die and wash away with rain.
- Gutters: flushed of what the treatment brings down, so the runoff does not sit on older drives and walks with years of build-up.
- Plants below the eaves: pre-wetted and rinsed, runoff kept off the lawn.

Questions we get asked
How long does a clean roof last in Cayce?
Three to five years is typical. Roofs that stay in shade most of the day are at the shorter end, because a slope that stays damp is where the algae starts again.
Do you walk on the roof?
As little as possible. Most roofs are treated from the ladder and the edge. Walking on shingles is what causes the damage the cleaning is meant to prevent.
Can you reach the back of a house on a narrow Cayce lot?
Usually. Our hoses reach around most lots from the driveway or the street. Leave any gates open for the day and you do not need to be home.
