Safe & Effective Roof Moss Removal & Treatment
|
A mossy roof isn't just an eye sore - it can be doing some serious damage to your shingles. Trapped moisture and rhizoids (moss' root-like structure) can rapidly deteriorate the integrity of your asphalt shingles. In Victoria, even some home insurance companies now require roof moss removal before they'll consider insuring your property! In this climate, roof moss removal is a regular part of routine preventative maintenance. If you have growth, it's better to take care of the problem early to avoid costly repairs down the road. MossAway has one-time and long-term preventative treatment options available to preserve & extend the life of your shingles.

Best Time of Year to Remove Roof Moss?
|
The ideal time of year to remove moss from your roof is mid-March through September. Moss removal is best done in hot, dry weather where possible. When moss is dry and dormant it crumbles away easily when brushed, removing the risk of unnecessary wear on your shingles. June, July, August, and September are all good months to remove roof moss, but by then moss has typically matured and can spread to other parts of your property where unwanted growth may become a nuisance. Get in touch with our team today to talk about what roof moss removal & treatment can do for your roof.

Have you done your due diligence as a homeowner?
It's sometimes an uncomfortable conversation, but our industry does seem to attract more than its fair share of bad actors. Due diligence when hiring a contractor is critically important when booking roof work. Be cautious of any quote you receive and put in the work to make sure that companies are liability insured, licensed, and covered by WorkSafeBC. Unregistered operations and fake WorkSafe clearance letters are disturbingly common in the business of moss removal & gutter cleaning.
