Green Moss and Ham! Why Your Roof Disagrees!
The Not-So-Funny Side of Green
Ah yes, “Green Eggs and Ham” — a classic. A tale of persistence, surprise, and maybe a little peer pressure. But when we’re talking green moss and shingles, the rhyme loses its charm. Moss may look cozy up there, giving your roof that woodland fairy-tale vibe, but it’s really more of a freeloading tenant than a friend. Unlike Sam-I-Am’s meal, this green growth comes with no happy ending — just headaches, repairs, and possibly a soggy attic.
What the Moss Is Really Up To
Here’s the sneaky part: moss doesn’t just sit politely on your shingles. It digs in, gripping the surface and lifting the edges like a mischievous kid peeling stickers. That fluffy green cushion? It’s a sponge in disguise — holding onto rainwater, dew, and humidity long after the clouds have cleared. Over time, that moisture seeps underneath, softening the roof decking and creating perfect conditions for rot. Before you know it, your “eco-friendly” green roof is actually a slow-motion science experiment in decay.
Why You Shouldn’t Just Brush It Off
You might think, “I’ll just sweep it away!” — like wiping crumbs off the table. But moss doesn’t give up that easily. Even after a cleaning, its microscopic roots often remain buried between shingles, waiting for the next rainstorm to stage a comeback. Removing moss the wrong way can actually make things worse, tearing off protective granules and shortening your roof’s lifespan.
