Why is it important to keep moss off of your
roof? Moss grows tendrils that reach up underneath shingles and other
roofing materials which exposes them to excess moisture such as driving
rain. With the shingles uplifted it is harder for the
roof to shed water which can result in leaks. Finally, the moss itself
acts as a sponge which can cause conducive conditions for rot in the
wood structure underneath. A simple application of a zinc or iron based
fungicide in the fall is a proven method of keeping this stuff at bay.
