As a roof becomes older and get more porous, many become affected by moss, algae and dirt. Keeping your roof clean and free of moss and dirt can be quite difficult for most homeowners and may become a constant cause for issues.
Wouldn’t it be great to have your roof looking like brand new again?
Why have it cleaned?
Large amounts of build-up of moss and algae on roof tiles and other organic growth could well cause you serious problems with the roof and the life-span of the tiles will in time be compromised too. If you overlook your roof, you’ll find these organic growths will rapidly grow out of control with their roots working their way into weak spots in the tiles of the roof, steadily widening them over time until cracks appear. Like all living organisms they need water to survive, and after it rains, they’ll behave like a sponge holding as much water as they can. As it works its way in the cracks into your roof it might well cause serious and costly destruction to the rafters and joists. Finally you could well discover moss that has come loose and fallen down the roof into your gutter which can result in overflowing rainwater from your gutter which penetrates and damages your fascia boards. In conclusion, getting a roof cleaned is a necessary job for many reasons.
