Our Proven In-Depth Step by Step Moss Removal Technique
The first step is moving any furniture to a safe location, and covering any bodies of water (ponds, pools, hot-tubs).
We then remove any large clumps of moss of debris using a roof safe brush. We apply an environmentally friendly roof soft wash detergent that softens and breaks up any build up. After the detergent had some time to soak we use our soft wash techniques to remove the moss, dirt and thoroughly rinse any dirt and detergent off of the roof. With the roof being cleaned we then clean out any debris from the gutters and all of the downspouts.
After the the cleaning process is finished we apply moss inhibitor to your roof.
Once the roof. gutters are clean we rinse the exterior walls off, sweep, and blow the surrounding areas of the house from any debris. Before we leave we do a final walk around making sure we did not over look any portion of the roof, gutters, house and surrounding area.
