Let's talk about a hidden threat to the health of your roof - moss. 🌿
Alberta is known for its harsh climate, with distinct seasons bringing snow, frost, rain, and lots of UV exposure from the sun. During the stormy summer season, heavy winds and rain can cause leaves, sticks, and other plant life from surrounding trees to collect on your rooftop and gutters. Not only does this debris clog your gutters, but it can also trap moisture against surfaces, which allows moss to grow and thrive. Eventually, this moss will thicken and grow on the surface of your roof or underneath shingles. This can cause them to pop off from the roof itself, which allows MORE moisture to seep into the structure of your home.
By carrying out preventative maintenance, such as cleaning your gutters or a yearly inspection by a roofing expert, you can extend your roof's lifespan for years to come.
