this is one of the most in demand services offered by Total Outdoor Maintenance Services Ltd. Mosses, algae, lichens and other atmospheric growths can cause structural damage to a roof. A common bacteria, gloecapsa magma, also causes unsightly black staining on a roof. Once a roof becomes covered with moss it is well into its projected life cycle, at which point maintenance and cleaning becomes more vital than ever. The old-fashioned solution is to resort to high pressure cleaning to blast moss from the roof surface. However, high pressure cleaning of aging roofs is an aggressive solution which can cause substantial damage; therefore, it is not recommended by roofing material manufacturers or roofers associations.
As roofs age, the original protective layer on the face of the tile is gradually eroded by the elements and increases the porosity of the tile. This then allows moisture to penetrate easily into the roof tiles. Moss thrives on damp or wet surfaces, the moisture retained enables moss spores to establish themselves and become ingrained within the tile.

There is no easier way to improve and maintain the appearance of your property than to keep the roof clean and free of unsightly moss, mould and algae. The black streaks that you see appear on your roof are caused by algae, mould and other bacteria that are feeding, growing and spreading on your roof surface.
Those black stains and coloured splotches on your roof are evidence of algae, fungi, lichen, mildew, and moss. These organic materials are not going to go away on their own. When left to their own devices, these organic materials will eventually cause damage to your roof. The way to solve this problem is to have your roof cleaned and the roof moss removal thus avoiding further degradation and deterioration.
