What is Moss?

Moss is a flowerless green plant with no actual roots. It grows in damp habitats and reproduces by releasing spores from stalked capsules. It is also referred to as algae and lichens. Moss grows rapidly in areas of high humidity and a lot of rainfall.

The plant is not harmful to roof shingles, however damage can occur when water becomes trapped under the tiles. This trapped water can decrease the quality of the tile, causing them to be repaired.

How Does Moss Damage Roofs?

• Moss acts as a plug, which stops the flow of water down your roof and into your gutters and spouting. It is important for your rain water to be able stream down your roof, otherwise moss will grow even more abundantly as it thrives in humid and wet conditions.
• The strength of moss can also be responsible for loosened roof tiles, causing leaks and damage.
• The weight of moss growing abundantly on your roof can also place weight on your roof, which stresses it’s foundations and has the potential to break through certain roof structures.
• Since roof moss grows predominantly with wet conditions this also raises the risk of mould and bacteria eating away at your roof. This is a health and safety hazard that needs to be dealt to immediately. > Click Here to get started.
