What Happens If You Dont Get Your Gutter's Cleaned?
Moss, lichen and algae thrive in damp, dark and shady areas – with SC's inclement weather providing the ideal growing conditions. Overhanging trees, shaded north facing roofs and chimney stacks, stop the sun from drying out the frequent rain and allow the moss to take root. Water droplets that cling to the edge of roof tiles create a safe growing space for moss. Before you know it, that moss spore grows and coats the lip of the tile, and left unchecked, just keeps on growing… Acting like a sponge, moss absorbs and retains water, preventing tiles from drying out.
Clogged Gutters Causes Roof Damage
Come the winter, moisture freezes and thaws, expanding and contracting, causing tiles to chip and shatter. Raised tiles allow rainwater to penetrate the roof structure with the potential to cause damp, mildew and rotting roof beams.
Moss is also a haven for insects, attracting hungry birds on the lookout for a free meal and a safe place to nest. Their aggressive food foraging loosens or dislodges the moss crumbs, causing it to tumble down the roof into the gutter, or onto the pavement below. During heavy downpours, loose moss gets displaced and combined with the rain can overwhelm gutters and downpipes, causing “Gutter Waterfalls”. This event would be solved by getting a Roof Wash. Roof moss is not ideal under any circumstances.
