If you have ever seen a roof (perhaps your own) that has long black streaks on it then you have come face to face with Gloeocapsa Magma. It is an incredibly fast growing fungus that is very common up and down the east coast. This fungus is carried from roof to roof through the air. Once it lands on a roof it feeds off of the fillers (typically limestone) within your shingles! Without a thorough roof cleaning, these algae will 
eat away at your shingles and leave areas where water can infiltrate your roof!
The Immediate Impact
While this fungus is on its way to devouring your roof, a very nasty side effect is also taking place. Higher energy costs! With the algae coating your shingles they can no longer efficiently do their job of reflecting the sun’s rays. This means that more of the heat from the sun penetrates into your attic. As the air in your attic becomes warmer and warmer your air conditioner will run for longer and longer to cool your home, the resulting increase in energy costs can be dramatic.
