Why
should moss on a roof be removed?

Moss removal is an essential service for maintaining the health and longevity of your roof. Over time, moss growth on roofs can lead to a range of serious issues that compromise both the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your home.

​

Moss retains moisture, and this damp environment can seep into your roofing materials, causing water damage and leading to costly repairs. It can also result in mildew stains and discoloration, altering the appearance of your shingles. Moss can weaken the structure of your roof by lifting shingle grit and exposing the underlayer to the elements. This accelerates wear and tear, reducing the lifespan of your roof.

​

Additionally, unchecked moss growth can clog gutters, disrupting the flow of rainwater and increasing the risk of leaks, wood rot, and foundation damage. Some home insurers may refuse to insure homes with moss on roofs. Regular moss removal not only prevents these issues but also helps to maintain your home's curb appeal.

​

The process of cleaning a mossy roof involves several key steps to ensure thorough and safe removal. First, we manually remove 85-95% of the moss using specialized tools. Next, the roof is treated with an environmentally friendly chemical, either in spray(soft wash) or powder form, which is safe to use around your home and near water sources. Once treated, we clean out the gutters to ensure proper water flow and prevent blockages. Finally, all excess moss is safely removed and disposed of, leaving your roof clean and protected.

​

Protect your investment by addressing moss growth promptly. Professional moss removal ensures that your roof is cleaned thoroughly and safely, without causing additional damage to your shingles. With proper care, you can preserve the structural integrity and appearance of your roof for years to come. Plus, with every moss removal service, we include a complementary gutter clean on the treated areas to ensure optimal drainage and protection.
