Why should I do it?
A large accumulation of dirt, moss on roof tiles and other natural growth may cause you serious issues with the roof and the durability of the tiles will in time be compromised too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow out of control with their roots finding their way into vulnerable spots in the roof tiles, gradually widening them over the course of time until cracks appear. Like all plants they need water to survive, and after it rains, they’ll work like a sponge securing as much water as they can. As it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it might well cause serious and costly deterioration to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well become aware of moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof ending up in your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which saturates and damages your fascia’s. In conclusion, getting a roof cleaned is a necessary job for a number of reasons.
