Roof Moss Cleaning: Why It’s Important and How We Do It Right

Why Roof Moss Is a Bigger Problem Than You Think

Sure, moss might seem cozy on the roof, but here's the problem: it traps moisture. A lot of moisture. And when your roof stays damp for long periods of time, it starts to wear down your shingles and promotes mold growth. Over time, moss can cause rottingleaks, and even roof failure. Not exactly what you had in mind when you imagined a cozy, green roof.

How We Do It Right (Without Causing Damage)

At Dunzo Gutters, we take roof moss cleaning seriously. No shortcuts, no quick fixes—just safe and effective moss removal to keep your roof in top shape. Here’s how we do it:

  • Step 1: Inspection – First, we inspect your roof to see how much moss has built up. This helps us determine the best approach.
  • Step 2: Gentle Moss Removal – We use soft-bristle brushes and eco-friendly solutions to gently remove the moss without harming your shingles. No harsh scrubbing or scraping here!
  • Step 3: Rinse and Refresh – After removing the moss, we rinse the roof with pure water to wash away the residue.
  • Step 4: Treatment – Finally, we apply a moss inhibitor to keep your roof moss-free for longer.

Why DIY Roof Moss Cleaning Is a Bad Idea

Okay, we get it—roof moss removal might sound like something you can do yourself. But here’s the thing: it’s not as simple as it seems. Scraping off moss with the wrong tools or climbing up on a slippery roof can lead to damageinjuries, or worse.

  • Ladder Accidents: Roof work is risky, and even small mistakes can result in big injuries.
  • Damage to Your Roof: Using the wrong tools can cause shingle damage or scratches, which can lead to future leaks.
  • Chemicals: Using harsh chemical cleaners can harm your roof and the environment.

Let the pros handle it. We have the right tools, the right training, and the right experience to get the job done safely and effectively.

The Benefits of Regular Roof Moss Cleaning

Here’s why you need to keep your roof moss-free:

  • Prevent Roof Damage: Regular cleaning keeps moss from damaging your shingles and leading to expensive repairs down the road.
  • Boost Curb Appeal: A clean, moss-free roof is a beautiful roof, and it can add value to your home.
  • Avoid Leaks: Moss traps moisture, which can cause roof leaks. Clean roofs mean less water damage.
