What is Moss?
Moss is a small non-vascular flowerless plant. This means that moss lacks vascular tissues. You can see them form a mat or clump which is mostly dense green. Moss grows in shady locations or damp locations. Mosses have rhizoids which are small hair-like appendage that help moss anchor and absorb water. This results in moss growing on flat surfaces.Moss can grow in places where other plants cannot, such as fallen logs, rocks, poor soil or no soil areas, etc.
Roof Washing VS Roof Treatment
Roof washing is different from roof treatment. With roof treatment, you can get your roof cleaned, and treated properly with the required solutions to protect the roof from damage caused by moss and other factors. Roof treatment may take up to 3-4 months. This roof treatment kills mould and moss. After the treatment, moss and mould will be washed away naturally by the rain and wind. Roof treatment is better than roof wash because roof wash is harsh on your roof. Roof wash can only clean the moss away, it cannot treat and stop the moss from growing again and again on your roof.
When moss turns pale yellow or white, it means that it is dying. You can see this after the roof moss treatment as well. It means that the treatment is working.
