Delran Township’s old village on the Rancocas Creek, low and shaded. Damp air and tree cover make streaking the local problem.
Bridgeboro is the old village on the Rancocas Creek in Delran Township, where Route 130 crosses toward Delanco. It is low, close to the water, and shaded by mature trees on most of its streets. The houses are modest frame and brick stock, a mix of pre-war and postwar, on small to middling lots, with the creek within a few blocks of nearly every one of them.
Damp air and shade make for algae. The black streaking on north slopes is a living organism rather than dirt, and scrubbing it off takes granules with it. We specify shingle with copper-bearing granules and open up the attic airflow so the deck dries between rains. Permits go to the Delran Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Creek humidity and tree shade keep a north slope damp for days after rain, and slow drying is exactly the condition algae and moss need in order to take hold.
Copper-bearing granules that slow the streaking on damp, shaded north slopes.
High-pressure cleaning strips granules, so we do not recommend it.
Ventilation opened so the deck can dry from below between rains.

Same office, same crews, a short drive away.
A hardy blue-green algae that feeds on filler in the shingle mat. It needs damp and shade, which a shaded north slope near the creek provides most of the year. It is cosmetic at first, but it holds moisture against the surface and often arrives alongside moss, which is not cosmetic at all.
Gently, with a low-pressure treatment, and the result is temporary. Pressure washing strips the granules that protect the mat and shortens the roof substantially, so we will not do it. On a roof with years left we treat it lightly, and on the next roof we specify algae-resistant shingle.

Considerably. Moss builds up thickness, holds water permanently against the surface, and works its roots under the shingle edges until they lift and let wind get underneath. Where moss has taken hold on an older roof, replacement is usually the honest recommendation rather than cleaning.
