Slate Roof Cleaning Moss Removal
A roof covered in moss, lichen, or algae hinders the rainwater’s flow across it. Where there is plenty of moisture, growth thrives and develops along the slate roofing lower edge (tail end), especially where the slates overlap. It becomes a self-perpetuating issue that can lead to a slew of other issues.
The main problems are listed below:
- Growth of more moss, lichen, and algae
- Roof tiles can cause water to build up inside your roof, causing dampness and other problems.
- Due to frost penetration, roof tiles may develop cracks.
- The roof may look unsightly due to dirt and pollutants
Roof tiles may be more vulnerable to damage since they are often exposed. Your roof’s lifespan can be significantly reduced if it is damaged by moss and lichen.
No roofing material is immune to lichen root invasion. The roots of lichen penetrate into the finish, eventually causing it to flake, blister, and peel away, exposing the roofing material to the elements, which leads to failure. There is no such thing as a waterproof roofing surface.
Moss maintains moisture in its structure, keeping your roof from drying out exclusively during long droughts.
