There\u2019s something very quaint and rustic about a moss-covered roof, like something out of a fairy tale. Unfortunately, the damage that moss can cause to your roof and shingles is genuine<\/span>. Moss can degrade pretty much any surface that you have on your top, from wood to concrete. As moss grows on your roof, it gets underneath your shingles, pushing them up and allowing water to leak in and damage the material underneath. It can lead to costly Gutter repairs<\/a> if not taken care of quickly. Luckily, removing moss from your roof is a fairly straightforward task.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you need to do is get up on your roof and wash away the moss. If the problem isn\u2019t too severe, this might be the only step you need to take. Put up a ladder where the moss is and run a hose up there as you climb up. Just spray the moss with the hose at a downward angle to wash it away. Be careful not to fall as the roof gets slippery. Once you\u2019ve sprayed the moss down, you can use a soft bristle scrub brush to remove the rest of it. Make sure to be gentle with the brush<\/span> so you don\u2019t damage the shingles. You might be tempted to use a pressure washer to blast the moss away, but resist the urge – it could break your shingles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moss-killing products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the scrubbing isn\u2019t enough to remove your moss, you might need to try moss roof removal materials. You can buy some at any hardware store<\/span> or make your own if you\u2019re the DIY type. If possible, wait for a cloudy day so the solution doesn\u2019t evaporate off your roof too quickly. Some cleaners are meant to be left for a while, and some are meant to be washed off immediately, so make sure you\u2019re following the instructions for whatever you end up using. It might also be a good idea to put a plastic sheet down on the ground under where you\u2019ll be working to ensure the cleaning solution doesn\u2019t discolor your lawn.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
