The Challenge
Heavy black algae (Gloeocapsa magma) had created dark streaks across the entire tile roof surface. The flat concrete tiles with barrel ridge caps required a gentle approach — tile roofs are particularly susceptible to damage from high-pressure washing and foot trafic, which can crack tiles and break the barrel caps along the ridgeline.
