Why do it?
A large build-up of moss and algae on the tiles on your roof and other organic growth may cause you serious problems with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will eventually be affected too. If you ignore your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will quickly spread out of control with their roots working their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, progressively widening them throughout time until cracks emerge. Like all living organisms they need water to thrive, and when it rains, they’ll work like a sponge securing as much water as they can. Once it finds its way in the cracks within your roof it may 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 damages and soaks into your fascia boards. In conclusion, getting your roof cleaned is an important service for a number of reasons.
