Why is it important to remove moss from the roof?

For some, the green moss growing on the roof is just a natural cosiness. Moss growth on the roof may give rise to different opinions, but it is important to get rid of it as soon as possible. Moss can deteriorate the condition of your roof and can cause costly damage.

Moss and other organic vegetation collect moisture, which slows down the drying of the tile roof and weakens the surface of the tiles. Lichen in particular can even eat holes in porous bricks, and in frosty weather the moisture in the bricks can freeze, expand and even crack the brick. Removing moss from the roof will also help prevent gutters from clogging.

You can also clean the roof of a small detached house yourself. Roof cleaners for home use are sold in hardware stores. If you use household cleaners, it is important to read the labels and product information carefully before use. Cleaning products designed to kill microbial growths contain biocides, so protective goggles, respirators and gloves should be worn to ensure safety

It is important to remember that roof cleaning should not be carried out with a pressure washer. Tile, felt and minerite roofs are all porous, and pressure can cause the surface to porosity, crack or craze. This can lead to soiling, accumulation of contaminants and water absorption into the weathered material. Microbial growth can also appear on the damaged surface with increased intensity.

Also, take extra care not to damage the roof surface when removing moss. A careless step can easily break the tiles. Especially when walking on a tiled roof that is not in good condition, you should always step on the end of the tile, not in the middle.

Proactive maintenance is important to preserve the value of your property. In general, roof cleaning is recommended every 4-5 years or so, but in some cases, re-treatment may be sufficient every 10 years.

Spring is a good time to start property maintenance when temperatures rise above +5 degrees Celsius. In general, it is best to start cleaning roofs in April-May and continue until October-November. Cleaning can continue well into the autumn, right up to the night frosts.

Dry weather is suitable for applying moss remover, so that the cleaner can be absorbed and effectively destroy the vegetation. It is not advisable to start applying the fungicide in wet weather or when there is a threat of rain. The roof should be dry when the product is applied and for a few hours afterwards. Mechanical cleaning can be carried out on a rainy day, but it is best to apply the product on a day without rain..
