Moss Removal & Cleaning

Cleaned properly, not blasted

Moss holds water against your roof tiles, freezing and expanding in winter to crack the surface and blocking gutters with debris. Our moss removal service uses careful manual scraping — never damaging high-pressure washing — followed by a deep-acting biocide treatment that kills spores and prevents rapid regrowth. We include a full gutter clean so the whole system is left clear.

High-pressure washing erodes the protective surface of concrete and clay tiles and floods your gutters with slurry. Instead, we scrape the moss off by hand, clear the gutters, then apply a biocide that soaks into the tile surface and kills the root system. The roof is left clean, the tiles intact, and regrowth slowed for years.
