What can a Homeowner do to Prevent Moss and Algae Growth?
Preventing or minimizing moss and algae growth on your roof can be as easy as pruning any overhanging branches to decrease the amount of shade on your roof. The additional sunshine will inhibit the growth of moss and algae. In addition, air circulation over the roof will improve, speeding up the drying process after precipitation, and there will be far less organic debris from branches to hold moisture and feed moss and algae growth.
