Soft Wash Roof Cleaning That Protects Your Investment

Those dark streaks running down Utah roofs aren't dirt — they're a hardy algae called Gloeocapsa magma, often joined by moss and lichen on shaded, north-facing slopes. Left alone, that growth holds moisture against your shingles, lifts granules, and quietly shortens the life of one of the most expensive surfaces on your home.

At LHS Powerwash, we clean roofs the way manufacturers recommend: with a low-pressure soft washing process, never high-pressure blasting. We apply professional cleaning chemistry that kills algae, moss, and lichen at the root, then gently rinse it away — restoring a clean, even roofline while protecting the shingle surface and your landscaping below.

We're a locally owned Utah company — not a franchise — and we treat every roof across the Wasatch Front with the care we'd give our own. Explore all of our exterior cleaning services or request a free quote today.

Soft wash roof cleaning removing moss and black streaks in Utah by LHS Powerwash

Our Roof Cleaning Services

Black Streak & Algae Removal

We eliminate the dark streaks caused by roof algae using a soft wash system that cleans thoroughly and helps keep your shingles looking new for far longer.

Moss & Lichen Treatment

Shaded and north-facing roofs grow moss and lichen that trap moisture and damage shingles. We safely treat and remove the growth, then slow its return.

Low-Pressure Soft Washing

High pressure voids most shingle warranties and strips protective granules. Our low-pressure soft wash process cleans deep without ever damaging the roof surface.

Tile & Metal Roof Cleaning

From concrete and clay tile to standing-seam metal, we match the cleaning approach to your roofing material for a safe, even, fully restored result.

Gutter Brightening Add-On

While we're up top, we can remove the black tiger-stripe staining from your gutters and clear debris so the whole roofline looks freshly restored.

Commercial & TPO Roof Cleaning

We restore reflectivity and energy efficiency on commercial TPO and flat roofs using manufacturer-approved, low-pressure methods for HOAs and property managers.

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Will pressure washing damage my roof?

High pressure absolutely can — it strips granules and voids most shingle warranties. That's why we never pressure-wash roofs. We use a low-pressure soft wash that cleans safely without harming the surface.

What are the black streaks on my roof?

Those streaks are a roof algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in shingles, spreads in Utah's climate, and holds moisture against your roof. Our soft wash kills it at the root.

How often should a roof be cleaned in Utah?

Most Utah roofs benefit from cleaning every 2 to 4 years. Shaded, tree-lined, or north-facing roofs that grow moss may need more frequent attention to prevent long-term damage.

Does roof cleaning really extend roof life?

Yes. Removing algae, moss, and lichen stops the moisture retention and granule loss that age a roof prematurely — often delaying a costly replacement by years.

Do you clean commercial and HOA roofs?

Absolutely. We clean residential roofs as well as commercial TPO and flat roofs for HOAs and property managers throughout Salt Lake and Utah County, with recurring schedules available.
