Cleaning & Growth Profile
Reservoir Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Reservoir
On flat-profile concrete tiles from the 1990s, the inter-tile channels can accumulate fine sediment of decomposed organic matter that holds moisture against the tile body for extended periods after rain — an ideal environment for moss spore germination.
Why It Happens
Water sitting in a blocked gutter warms to ambient temperature rather than staying cold. When warm, still water contacts a cold tile surface during a storm, it behaves differently to flowing water — the risk of backing up under the lap joint at the gutter-tile interface increases.
How We Fix It
Post-wash treatment with a zinc-based inhibitor is applied to all cleaned surfaces where re-colonisation risk is high. The inhibitor creates a surface environment that inhibits spore germination without affecting the tile coating or mortar.
