Cause Of Moss And Lichen Growth On A Roof

Your home or business might one day be damaged by any number of events. From weather and storms to everyday wear and tear, you might find yourself needing emergency roof repairs in Maidenhead or the surrounding areas. But that’s why Lens Roofing Limited is here!

Causes of Moss or Lichens growth on roofs

 
Moss growing on any roof surface will be more severe on roof sections that area shaded and exposed to periodically damp cool weather conditions.
 
Why cleaning your roof is really useful:
 
1) Roof tiles and slates become porous because of overgrowth with moss, as a result of which rainwater can infiltrate into the material. Moisture could make the roof tiles burst at low temperatures.
 
2) Hair cracks and fissures due to moss and filth increase the possibility of a leak in the roof. The presence or absence of much sunlight on a roof surface is often a determining factor in the amount of moss or lichens growth (more sun, less moss and lichens). When shade and cool moist conditions combine, moss or lichens growth on a roof surface is more likely.
