4. Moss Removal

Moss Is Not Just a Green Layer

Moss acts like a sponge. It holds moisture directly against your shingles.

What follows:

• Moisture penetrates under shingles
• Mold develops
• Freeze-thaw expansion lifts shingles
• Micro-fractures form
• Roof leaks begin

In BC’s damp climate, this process accelerates quickly.

Ignoring Moss Leads To

• Lifted and damaged shingles
• Reduced roof lifespan
• Wet insulation
• Rotting roof decking
• Debris washing into gutters

Financial Reality

Roof replacement is one of the most expensive home repairs.

Moss removal costs a fraction of that.

Psychological Protection

When your roof is maintained:

• You are not worried about heavy rain
• You are not stressed during winter freezes
• You avoid surprise interior damage
