Leaving roof moss, algae, and dirt untreated can lead to serious damage. Moss absorbs moisture, adding extra weight to your roof and increasing stress on its structure. It can also trap moisture, preventing tiles from drying properly, which may allow water to penetrate the roof space. This can damage crucial structural elements, such as timber rafters, leading to rot and long-term deterioration. Moisture can even cause cracks and splits in roof tiles, further weakening the roof’s integrity.
Structural Damage to Roof Bonds
Moss thrives on cement, often targeting ridge and apex tiles as well as the bonds that hold your roof together. Over time, this growth weakens these critical bonds, potentially compromising your roof’s stability.
Increased Heat Retention
A dirty roof covered in moss and algae can trap heat, preventing proper ventilation and leading to an overheated attic or roof space. This can result in an uncomfortable environment and higher energy bills for air conditioning or ventilation systems.
Blocked Gutters and Drainage Issues
Moss and debris from your roof can clog gutters and downpipes, causing water to overflow and run down your walls. This not only creates unsightly stains but may also lead to damp and water damage within your property.
