What sort of damage can moss do to a roof?
Roof moss acts like a sponge and can cause damage to roof tiles and the actual roof structure through retention of excess water. It is possible for moss to weaken roof tiles and slates and widens cracks and it is surprisingly difficult to remove in its entirety.
A proliferation of moss will also cause problems with blocked gutters, because inevitably, some moss will work loose and be washed down the roof during bad weather. It will block up your rainwater gutters and drains and can cause more problems.
A pitched roof is the most common type of roof structure. It’s designed to allow water to run down the roof surface to the gutters where it is channeled away from the property. Moss is often a problem in pitched roofs. Moisture can be absorbed by the moss, causing damage to the roof structure over time. Moisture can begin to collect underneath the roof tiles or slates.
