There are plenty of reasons to avoid climbing up onto roofs, not the least of which is the sheer height of it! Whether you are standing on top of a single-storey or a multi-level commercial space, a fall is still a fall. Instead of taking a chance on slippery, moss covered surfaces, call a Gorilla! Our Paradise roof cleaning and moss removal services get your property looking its best, while you sit back and relax.
Avoiding Amateur Attempts
A roof cluttered up with debris looks terrible but there are other reasons to give your roofing the brush off. Thriving plant life can add a lot to communities but it is also an opened invitation for organic debris. Leaves and other other castoff are designed to hold onto moisture. This might help them grow but it also paves the way for moss growth. Moss has a major impact on tile roofing as well as roof shingles. As this invasive growth spreads, it weaves itself under and around important construction materials. When this happens, moisture is let into the more sensitive areas of properties, meaning softened materials, mold and water damage. This is why it is so important to remove growth as quickly as possible.
When brainstorming ways to remove moss, the most common ideas that come to mind involve a couple gallons of water, a chlorine bleach solution, scrub brush and power washing. In theory, this much fire power is bound to get results but in practice, this is overkill. Say goodbye to destructive pressure washing services and “hello” to step-by-step services. Any standard moss and algae killer is made up of harsh chemicals that you do not necessarily want around your home or workspace. While it is impossible to stop moss, growth can be controlled through regular property maintenance. Instead of introducing harsh moss killers, trust a Gorilla for your cleaning services.
The Key to Safe & Efficient Service
If roof surfaces are wet, forget staying on your feet! Algae and excess moisture are sure signs of a slippery area. This is why our Gorillas arrive on-scene with top of the line safety equipment. Once proper stand-offs are in place, experts get to work removing surface debris in order to get a good look at what is going on underneath. All it takes for moss to grow is moisture and oxygen – bleach can’t contend with this stubborn growth. That is why speciality brushes and eco-friendly cleansers and disinfectants are used to create a clean slate for your roofing.
