What are those Black Streaks?
Dew on roofs, combined with humidity and sunlight exposure, creates the perfect environment for algae growth which, on a roof, can cause unsightly staining in the form of black streaks.
In very humid environments, these streaks can manifest in as few as 3 years after installation, and they only get worse with time.
