Moss is a real concern on Vancouver Island, as we live in a rain forest climate. If you neglect the moss on your roof, it could cause damage to your home, business or strata. Moss absorbs moisture and establishes roots on roofs. The roots lift up shingles and can lead to increased moss growth. This will eventually create leaks and cause damage to the roof.
Removing moss can be done in multiple ways. The A1 method is dealing with the moss that typically grows on the edges of the shingles with some hand tools. If it is not done properly it could damage the shingles. We recommended that this service is taken care of by professionals. Dealing with a reputable company that is experienced and insured are some other points of consideration.
