Why do it?
Large amounts of accumulation of moss, dirt on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth may cause you major issues with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will in time be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will swiftly grow uncontrollably with their roots finding their way into weaknesses in the roof tiles, steadily widening them over time until cracks emerge. Like all plants they need water to thrive, and after it rains, they’ll behave like a sponge retaining as much water as they can. As it works its way in the cracks within your roof it may well cause serious and costly damage to the rafters and joists. Also you could well discover moss that has dislodged and fallen down the roof ending up in your gutter which can lead to overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia boards.
