Over time, roofs can accumulate dirt, debris, moss, algae, and lichen. These contaminants not only make your roof look unattractive and uncared for, but can also cause significant damage if left untreated. Here’s why regular roof cleaning is important:
Prolongs Roof Life: Moss can absorb up over 2,000% of their dry weight. As a result of moss consistenly expanding and contracting, it can move and/or displace your roofs tiles.
Prevents Damage: Debris and organic growth can trap moisture, causing rot and structural damage. Cleaning removes these harmful elements, and can also remove any unncessary weight from the roof preventing further damage.
Enchancing appearance: Purely asthetic, but wouldn’t your home look even better with a clean roof?
