The Consequences of Clutter
The west coast might be known for its rainfall but prairie properties have their own problem areas. Harsh seasonal changes, as well as every-day weather deposit organic materials all over your property, but especially on rooftops. Having a cluttered roof affects your property in several ways. The most obvious consequence of having roof clutter is the negative aesthetic. From street view, having a lot of debris on your roof can make your home or business look uncared for and cluttered. When heavy winds pick up, the clutter on your roof can blow into the gutters around your property, clogging them and making drains impassable.
In addition to looking messy and clogging drains, organic debris left in the surface of your roof retains moisture and holds it against surface material. This moisture can lead to growth and spread of moss across your roof. Moss growth and moisture can creep under shingles, damaging the materials underneath. Regular maintenance can prevent damage caused by water leaks, flooding and mould growth. Property owners have experimented with harsh solutions like pressure washers to blast away moss, but only professional care can get great results without the risk.
