North Vancouver Moss Removal and Treatment

North Vancouver Moss Removal and Treatment

Mosses might be natural and fascinating tiny plants, but they threaten the functionality, safety, and longevity of your roof. The thousands of species of these ancient, durable plants produce spores that are spread by the wind, birds, squirrels, and other animals; sometimes, those spores end up on your roof.

How Can Moss Damage Your Roof?

It’s important to remove moss buildup as quickly as you can to prevent headaches and costly roof repairs or a replacement down the line.

1. Curb Appeal: Moss diminishes the aesthetics and curb appeal of your roof. If you plan on selling, it could put off a potential homebuyer.


2. Leaks, Rot, and Structural Damage: Mosses act like sponges that soak up rainfall. Moss holding moisture against your roof can cause rot, leaks, damage, and deterioration of the tiles, rafters, and roof deck over time. Moss can even spread under the tiles and clog your gutters, preventing proper drainage, so prompt roof moss removal is important. Water leaks and excess moisture in your home increase your risk of harmful mold growth.


3. Added Weight: As moss collects water, it gets heavy. If it’s left untreated, your roof might not be able to hold the added weight and could cave in at some point, which is a big threat to the safety of your home and family.


4. Pests: Certain pests, bugs, and rodents might set up a home in the moss or eat the moss.


5. Unsafe, Slippery Roof:A moss-covered roof is also a slippery roof that presents a safety hazard to anyone who climbs on it for inspections or repairs.

How Do You Identify the Signs of Moss and Algae Growth?
