A mossy Roof is not that great… unless you live in the shire.
Squeeky Clean Windows offers de-mossing of roofs as well. There are few ways we can go about this:
Scrape by hand. This is labor intensive and can cost but from the time we arrive to the time we leave you will look up and not see any moss existing plus we treat your roof after with a chemical called Spray and Forget. You will not see any moss growth for at least a couple of years.
We thoroughly saturate your mossy roof with Spray and Forget and walk away. This is a less expensive method than scraping. We just charge the cost of chemical and labor to do the spraying. Within 6-9 months, your roof is cleaned and moss free – the dead moss just rolls off and blows away. Spray and Forget is a time released chemical that kills your moss and the elements remove the dead matter. Although it takes time it is worth it. It’s completely safe for your roof and it will last longer. And, there will be minimal impact on the environment.
Some roof treatment services uses powder formulations. This method of application can be used in wet conditions, typically from October through May.
Although results can be quicker, taking about 6-8 weeks sometimes not all might get removed and need re-treatment. While this is an effective, and mostly safe treatment, some long term effects may effect certain vegetation, depending on environmental conditions and density of tree coverage.
With all moss removal services, repeated treatment is recommended if moss is heavy and prone to accumulate every year if necessary.
Moss Removal Maintenance Programs
Ask about our yearly maintenance program for residences and Strata properties. We can schedule visits on a scheduled basis at a certain time of year and apply our treatments. Keeping your roof free of moss can greatly extend your roof’s lifespan.
When de-mossing a roof, we use a special formulation to saturate the complete roofline. It sits over for six months to one a year period. it’s time released activation kills all the moss and spores, which then just falls off the roof. You need two applications for it to completely be removed. The first application actually kills all the spores and moss and removes quite a bit of it but it doesn’t completely remove it all. The second application is the one that allows it all to be washed your roof and cleans the whole thing completely.
