Lichen grips into tile surfaces and keeps moisture sitting where it should drain away.
Moss and lichen treatment
Clean The Moss Before It Starts Breaking Down Your Roof.
Moss is not harmless greenery. It traps moisture against tiles, weakens pointing, and quietly raises the risk of leaks after every wet week.

Moss is not cosmetic. It is structural damage in slow motion.
Lichen and moss anchor into tile surfaces and hold moisture against them 24 hours a day. That constant dampness accelerates freeze-thaw micro-cracking through Melbourne winters, erodes pointing mortar, and quietly voids the tile manufacturer's warranty. Most homeowners find out the hard way when tiles start fracturing or when their insurer queries maintenance records after a claim. A soft wash costs a fraction of one tile replacement row and it buys back years of tile life.
