Why is it necessary to clean your roof on a regular basis?

Regular roof cleaning ensures the roof membrane is functioning at its best. Organisms like moss, algae, and other debris can cause protective membranes to decay, making your roof vulnerable to leaks, premature degradation, and structural issues.

But during your professional roof cleaning, any harmful organisms will be removed, and your roof inspected, preventing small issues from developing into massive problems.

Combined, these hearty airborne spores of algae’s lichen, mold, and mosses make formidable foes and put your roofs under constant assault.

If left untreated and allowed to spread and grow over time, these organisms feed off your roof’s protective membranes, eroding asphalt shingles by lifting granules, stripping tiles UV shielding seals while exposing the roof membranes which will rapidly degrade the roof materials resulting in 10’s of thousands of dollars in building damages. If neglected…

Roof Moss Removal Vancouver Services to Extend Your Roofs Life

While moss might appear harmless, its presence on your roof can actually cause significant problems over time.

Moss retains moisture, which can lead to the gradual breakdown of roofing materials such as shingles, tiles, or rubber.

This trapped moisture encourages the growth of mold and algae, leading to rotting, cracking, and leaks.

Over time, the added weight and moisture can compromise the structural integrity of your roof, causing costly repairs or even premature replacement. In addition, moss can lift shingles, allowing water to seep underneath, which further accelerates wear and tear.

Left untreated, a moss-covered roof not only looks unsightly but can significantly reduce the lifespan of your roof.

Our Vancouver Roof Cleaning Process

During the initial consultation, we carefully inspect your roof to identify the moss species, the degree of the infestation, and the intervention needed. This ensures we administer the correct bio-friendly solution and site-specific algaecide formulation ratios.

Throughout the roof cleaning process, we will access hard-to-reach areas using scaffolding, ladders, ropes, and other types of equipment. To determine the most cost-effective approach to access your Vancouver roof, we will find the access points, level of reach, and equipment needs.

Establish and initiate the best plan to safely remove rooftop debris, fallen branches, pine needles, pinecones, leaves, and moss clusters. We will also ensure the correct solutions are applied to clean the surfaces and control future moss and algae outbreaks.

Before we tackle the moss, our gutter cleaners ensure all gutters are free from debris and blockages. This ensures proper drainage, allowing water to flow freely to reduce moss and mould growth.

for shingles under 500 psi can be utilized during service but the benefits to manually removing moss and debris from the surfaces while dry outweigh any potential benefits and mitigate the risks and messes that power washing a roof present.

We pride ourselves on our in-house specialized solution crafted for each client. After removing moss, we apply this chemical solution, which not only cleans but also prevents moss from re-growing, ensuring the cleanest outcome.

Any remaining moss, especially in the hard-to-reach areas, is carefully removed by hand. This ensures that any small, discrete patches that might have been missing during the pressure washing stage are addressed.

To prevent future moss growth, we reapply our specialized solution. This acts as a barrier, making the surface less conducive to moss and mould regrowth.

Once the cleaning and treatments are done, it’s essential to ensure the roof’s surface is not left wet for long. We ensure the roof dries properly, reducing the chances of further moss growth.

Once the cleaning and preventative treatment is complete, we will conduct a final walkthrough to ensure no spots have been missed and the property is in the best possible condition.

It is a very good idea to keep your roof clean. A damaged roof is one of the biggest expenses a home can incur if not regularly maintained. A good way to combat this is to regularly have your roof inspected and cleaned to avoid moss and grime build up that can deteriorate your roof.

When hiring a roof cleaning company to clean your roof, ensure they use soft washing or manual hand washing techniques to avoid any damages that can be incurred during the process.

Left untreated, a moss-covered roof not only looks unsightly but can significantly reduce the lifespan of your roof.

In Vancouver’s humid climate, unattended roofs become breeding grounds for moss, algae, and other damaging organisms. Moss can trap dirt, organic materials, and retain water, which will weight down on your roof overtime. Algae, especially the Gloeocapsa Magma, appears as green and black streaks, feeding on nutrients in roofing materials like asphalt shingles. These organisms, along with lichen and mould, not only mar your roof’s appearance but also erode its protective layers. If not removed, they lift granules from roof shingles and strip away UV shielding, compromising the roof’s integrity. Over time, neglecting this issue can lead to extensive damage, costing thousands in repairs.
