Even if you have a home that is maintained so well, but it can have a demeaning appearance when the roof is covered in heavy moss and leaves. This look though is not the only problem that such heavy moss may have on the rooftops of a lot of people’s biggest asset.
As compared to vegetation moss, the moss will not actually require direct sunlight for proliferation. And because of this reason, the moss may grow on the shaded sides of your roofs. In fact, the moss also has that ability to get vital growth sustaining nutrients from those organic compounds which make up a lot of roofing, those materials used in the construction of the modern roofs, the bitumen-based tiles or tar are made from those ossified organic compounds which can supply various forms of moss and mildew with all of the necessary source of that life-sustaining nutrition.
Moss feeds and obtains nutrients from the surfaces of the slates and shingles, the surface would then be etched and then deteriorate and if those tiny recesses and cracks are made on smooth surface, the water can then seep through the tiles and this accelerates deterioration during the winter months when temperature goes below zero and moisture freezes and becomes ice. Through the natural expansion of ice, small cracks would get widened and that shingle begins to crack and fall apart. In such roofing profession, this kind of deterioration is at times known as blown shingle or weathering.
It would make good sense to keep that roof moss as well as the levels of roof fungi controlled when you wish to avoid spending for a very expensive and extensive roof refurbishment or replacement project.
