Extend The Life of Your Roof
Moss, Lichen, and Algae are just some of the microorganisms living on your roof. In the first instance, these cause your tiles to start developing fine cracks, which may not be immediately visible to the naked eye but will allow water to penetrate once there. Water held within the cracks will freeze and thaw and cause the cracks to expand, ultimately leading to deeper cracks allowing water ingress.
Blocked Gutters
Your guttering has one function, to allow rainwater to flow away from your property and into the drainage system which protects your home from water ingress, and damp. As moss falls off the roof, it drops into the gutters, which causes blockages. By removing the moss from your roof, you immediately prevent these issues from occurring.
