Need to Know: Moss removal and your roof

Have you ever been on a walk in the forest and wondered about the dense green clumps that form in damp or shady areas?  

Mosses are primitive plants that some researchers believe were the first to live on dry land. 

Moss growth is prevalent in Metro Vancouver because of the abundance of moist and shady conditions, for example, on your roof. 

You may notice moss growing in only one area because the growing circumstances are best. 

This fuzzy plant can bring a fresh patina to our forested surroundings on the many hikes in British Columbia.

Our team carefully removes moss to restore the appearance & performance of your roof.

That said, you may not enjoy the visual of moss growing all over your roof. Furthermore, moss can absorb liquids up to 20 times its weight. Moss could be harmful to your roof which is one of the most important parts of your home.   

Luckily, our team can remove moss carefully. Our gentle, by-hand method sweeps the moss off your roof. We then bag and compost all debris. 

The less rainy period of spring to early autumn is the best time to remove moss as it has dried out considerably.  

We recommend pairing moss removal with a gutter cleaning service to ensure the roof is clear and the gutters are flowing.
