If you’re a homeowner, you may have noticed that moss has started to grow on your roof. Not only is it unsightly, but it can also cause damage to your roof over time. But what’s the best way to deal with it – do you need to have the moss removed completely or can it be treated and left alone? In this blog post, we’ll explore the options and help you decide which one is right for you.
First, let’s talk about roof moss treatment. This involves using a special solution that is applied to the mossy areas of your roof. The solution kills the moss and prevents it from growing back. This option is a good choice if the moss growth is relatively new and hasn’t caused any significant damage to your roof yet. It’s also a more affordable option than roof moss removal.
However, if the moss has been on your roof for a long time, it may have started to damage your roof shingles. In this case, roof moss removal is the better option. This involves physically removing the moss from your roof, either by hand or with a stiff-bristled brush. Another option is with a pressure washer, but we do not recommend you do this because if it is done wrong severe damage can be done to your roof. When it comes to removal, while this option is more expensive than moss treatment, it’s necessary if the moss has started to damage your roof. Leaving the moss in place can lead to water damage, leaks, and even roof failure over time.
So, how do you know which option is right for you? A professional roof moss cleaner can inspect your roof and recommend the best course of action based on the severity of the moss growth and any damage that has already occurred. It’s important to address the issue sooner rather than later to prevent any further damage to your roof.
