Unlike algae stains, roof moss and lichen can be a serious problem if left untreated. Moss and lichen attach themselves onto the shingle with root like structures called Rhizoids. Even after a short period of time, lichen can “eat” into the shingle, leaving pit marks. Heavy growth can destroy a new roof in even a few short years.
The same roof cleaning method for cleaning algae is used to remove roof moss and lichen, however, the results are not seen immediately. About 80-90% of the moss or lichen will be removed at the time of roof cleaning treatment. Because of the root-like structures embedded in the shingle material, it may take up to 6 months for the remaining moss or lichen to completely dry out and be washed away by the rain.
