Moss removal involves using soft nylon brushes to gently remove the thick moss off of the shingles. Then we use air blowers to remove the debris from the roof. We clean and dispose of any mess left below.
This treatment also applies to concrete tile, slate, cedar shake, and all other roofs.
For moss treatment, our preferred method is the application of zinc sulfate monohydrate. We cover the peaks and edges of the roof with the powder which will be dispersed into the roof by rainfall. The pH of the roof will be raised and will prevent and kill any moss growth. Treatment is effective for 1-2 years.
We will use other methods of treatment per customer request such as spray-ons and bleaches.
What is a home without a roof? In the Pacific NW our poor roofs get so much rain and tree droppings, they are prone to getting moss growth very quickly. Moss treatments are recommended once a year to keep up with roof health. Untamed moss eats away at the shingles and can significantly reduce the lifespan of your roof. Overgrown moss will absorb moisture and swell, lifting up the shingles and rotting the structural integrity of your home. It is recommended to keep your roof clean of any organic material such as pine needles and leaves so as to prevent any rot or source for the moss to grow from. In order for the treatment to be effective, we must remove the thick chunks of moss first, so that the chemical may not only reach the surface of the moss, but also underneath in the pores of the shingle where the moss grows.
