Miksi sammalen poisto katolta on tärkeää?

Sammal kerää kosteutta ja vaurioittaa katteen pintaa, mikä johtaa rapautumiseen ja lisää vuotoriskiä. Säännöllinen poisto pidentää katon elinikää merkittävästi.

Kuinka usein sammal tulisi poistaa katolta?

Yleensä suositellaan tarkistusta ja mahdollista poistoa 4-8 vuoden välein riippuen katon sijainnista ja puuston määrästä.

Mitä menetelmiä käytetään sammaleen poistossa?

Käytämme mekaanista harjausta ja kemiallista loppukäsittelyä, jotka ovat turvallisia katon pinnoitteelle.

Moss removal from the roof – why is it important?

Green moss cover is beautiful, but it's destructive to a roof. Moss erodes the coating on the tile, which is designed to prevent moisture from being absorbed into the porous tile. If moss is not removed regularly, the lifespan of a tile or felt roof will be significantly shortened, by as much as 10–20 years.

We offer an efficient and professional moss removal service for both felt and tile roofs.

How does moss damage a roof?

Moss acts like a sponge, keeping the surface of the substrate constantly moist
When it's freezing, moisture expands and frost weathering begins.
When the brick coating deteriorates, moisture can be absorbed into the brick.
Moss often settles in the seams of bricks and felt roofing, widening them, allowing moisture to enter the roof space.

Especially shaded roof surfaces are prone to moss growth. Leaves, needles, and dirt form an ideal growing medium for moss. Therefore, it is good to clean the roof of debris regularly, for example in spring and autumn.

Professional moss removal from a roof is an effective and safe process:

Mechanical cleaningThe mortar is gently removed without damaging the brick.
BlowThe gutters and downspouts are completely cleared of debris using powerful blowers.
Chemical treatment Destroys roots and prevents moss from regrowing.
Gutter cleaning and tidying up the surroundings: We make sure that moss doesn't get stuck in the gutters and on the yard.
If there are broken tiles on the roof, we will replace them or patch them with tile sealant.

The work usually takes 1-2 days. The end result is a clean and beautiful roof that will remain in good condition for years. Roof cleaning is recommended approximately every 4-5 years, and sometimes the treatment is sufficient for up to 10 years.

Spring is the best time to start maintenance work when the temperature rises above +5 °C. Roofs are usually cleaned from April to May and from October to November.

While the roof is being cleaned, it's wise to check the condition and waterproofing of the roofing material in other ways as well. We also offer various sealing services, such as

Gasket installation
Installation of special sealants for leak points
Penetration sealing
Roof and underlayment repair work.

How much does moss removal from a roof cost?

Moss removal from the roof costs around 7–15 euros per square meter depending on the size of the roof and the amount of moss. For detached houses, the price is often €1,000–€3,000 in between.

It is possible to get a household deduction for the work.

Can moss be removed from a roof by yourself?

Cleaning moss from a roof can also be done yourself, but the result won't be as long-lasting as when done by a professional.

Moss removers available at hardware stores are milder, so moss may return within a few years. Additionally, the success of the cleaning depends on how well the moss roots and spores are removed.

Please note:

Do not use a pressure washer at high pressure, as it can damage the coating and, in the worst case, cause moisture damage to the roof structure!
Walk carefully on the roof so the tiles don't break.
Always use appropriate safety equipment.
Follow the chemical usage instructions carefully.
