    Our Vernon Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal Service is vital for any home or business.  Regular maintenance on your building’s most essential protective measure preserves its outward appearance.  It also extends the service life on a part of the structure that is one of the most costly to replace.  The main reason to call in the professionals to carry out Vernon Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal is, of course, safety.  Over the years, countless people have fallen off roofs due to improper practices.  Roofs are not only steep but exceedingly slippery when wet, and coated in cleaning solutions.  Even the experts have moments where their lives (or, in the case of our skilled Gorillas, bananas) have flashed before their eyes.  That’s why Gorilla Property Services is a proud member of WORKSAFE BC, and safety equipment maintenance is performed prior to commencing any project.

    Vernon Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal: Preventative Property Measures

    There are certain conditions under which moss flourishes.  Trees that overhang your roof are an ideal method of transportation for moss spores.  Moisture, which is unavoidable in British Columbia, accelerates the growth.  And when your roof is covered in leaves, needles and other debris; that moisture is retained for longer.  Not only will your roof look terrible, but the damage can be pricey.  Say, for example, your Vernon property is equipped with asphalt shingles.  As moss thickens and grows it can lift the shingles. This allows water to access and rot the decking ultimately causing leaks.  In heavy winds, those raised shingles could be torn right off the roof.

    Property owners have been known to lose up to 40% of the life expectancy on their roof due to lack of consistent maintenance.  With Gorilla Property Services’ Vernon Roof Cleaning and Moss Removal, you needn’t be one of them.

    Common questions

    Roof Cleaning — answered

    Will walking on my roof damage shingles?

    Done properly, no. Crews wear soft-soled shoes, distribute weight carefully, and avoid stepping on shingle edges where damage starts. Wet roofs are more slippery and more delicate, so they’re treated with extra care. The goal is to leave the surface exactly as we found it.

    Do you clean retail mall roofs?

    Yes. We clean retail mall and shopping centre roofs, scheduling the work during off-hours so foot traffic and tenants aren’t disrupted. These are typically large flat roofs, and the low-pressure soft-wash clears algae, moss, and staining across the full area without closing stores.

    Do you offer ongoing roof inspection?

    Yes, and pairing it with cleaning makes the most sense. Since the roof is clear and crews are already on it, an annual inspection adds little time but a lot of value, flagging small problems while they are cheap to fix rather than after a leak appears.

    How do I know my roof needs cleaning?

    Watch for black streaks running down the roof, which are algae, plus green or brown patches of moss and crusty lichen growth. Darker shaded sections that stay damp are another sign. Any of these means it is time to book a cleaning.

    What causes black streaks on roofs?

    Black streaks are caused by algae growth, specifically Gloeocapsa magma, which feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. The streaks are most common in damp climates and on shaded sections of the roof where moisture lingers and the algae can establish itself.

    How do you safely work on roofs?

    On steep roofs we use full fall-protection equipment: a harness, a secured anchor point, and a lifeline. Crews also use roof ladders and walking pads to spread weight and protect the surface. Everyone is trained in roof-type assessment and safe access, to commercial-grade safety standards.

    Why is pressure washing bad for roofs?

    The core problem is the granules. Those tiny mineral particles are what protect asphalt shingles from sun and weather, and high pressure blasts them off. Once they are gone, the shingle ages fast. Pressure can also crack tile and void warranties.

    Will your cleaning affect my septic system?

    Septic systems are not at risk from properly applied roof cleaning. The concentrations reaching the ground are low enough not to upset the system’s bacteria. The only thing we watch is the drain field, keeping concentrated runoff away from it, which is a simple precaution.

    Should I see the results getting better over time?

    Yes, you should see the roof keep improving after the visit. The cleaning kills the algae and moss, and any remaining traces continue dying off over the following one to two weeks. Rainfall helps by gradually washing the dead material away, so the surface keeps clearing.
