Professional Roof Moss Removal in Vancouver
Keep Your Roof Safe, Clean, and Long-Lasting
In Vancouver’s damp climate, it doesn’t take long for moss to take hold. Over time, moss growth can trap moisture, lift shingles, and shorten the life of your roof. At Samra Bros Roofing Ltd., we offer safe and effective roof moss removal services designed to restore your roof’s integrity and protect your home from costly repairs.
Whether you have asphalt shingles, cedar shakes, fibreglass, or metal roofing, our team will treat your roof with care, using methods tailored to your specific material.
Why Moss Removal Matters
Moss might seem harmless at first, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious roofing issues:
- Moisture retention: Moss holds water against your roof, increasing the risk of leaks and rot
- Shingle damage: As moss spreads, it can lift shingles and allow water to seep underneath
- Structural problems: Prolonged moisture can weaken the roof deck and lead to mold or wood rot
- Curb appeal: Moss makes even a well-built roof look neglected
The sooner you remove moss, the better chance you have of avoiding long-term damage and expensive roof repairs.
Our Roof Moss Removal Process
- Visual Inspection: We assess your roof’s condition to determine the extent of moss growth and underlying damage.
- Manual Removal: We gently remove surface moss by hand or with soft-bristle tools to avoid damaging shingles.
- Roof-Safe Treatment: We apply an eco-friendly moss control solution that helps kill remaining spores and prevents future growth.
- Clean-Up: We clear all debris from the roof and gutters to ensure proper drainage.
Tailored Moss Removal for Every Roof Type
We treat every roof based on its specific material. Here’s how we approach moss removal across different systems:
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles are vulnerable to moss damage, especially at the edges and in shaded areas. We carefully remove moss using soft brushes to avoid dislodging granules and apply a treatment to prevent future growth.
CCA Pressure-Treated Wood
While CCA-treated wood resists some moisture, it is still prone to moss buildup. We gently clean the surface and recommend periodic inspections to prevent long-term damage.
Cedar Roofing
Cedar shakes and shingles are porous, which means moss can take hold deep in the grain. We use a low-impact removal method to avoid cracking the wood and apply a treatment that’s safe for cedar.
Western Red Cedar Shakes & Shingles
This premium cedar product needs special care. We use only non-abrasive tools and a cedar-safe formula to clean and preserve the wood’s natural beauty while preventing moss regrowth.
Fibreglass Roofing
Moss can degrade the top layer of fibreglass shingles over time. We remove buildup manually and apply a roof-safe moss inhibitor to extend your roof’s life.
Metal Roofing
While moss doesn’t damage metal roof the same way, it can cause moisture pooling and rust at seams or fasteners. We clear moss thoroughly and check for areas where water may collect.
Torch-On Roofing
Flat torch-on roofs can be especially vulnerable to moss due to poor drainage. We carefully remove moss without compromising the membrane and ensure that water is flowing properly to drains.
Prevent Moss from Coming Back
Once moss is removed, ongoing maintenance is key. We offer roof inspections and preventative treatments to help homeowners keep moss under control year-round. Our team will also check for other issues such as clogged gutters, damaged shingles, or poor ventilation that could be contributing to moss growth.
