MOSS REMOVAL 🌿 SPOKANE’S SILENT ROOF DESTROYER IS LURKING ABOVE!


Mossy roof

Most Spokane County homeowners don’t think about moss until they see a green patch on their roof—but by then, the damage is already happening beneath the surface.


Moss may look harmless, even charming, but it’s actually a silent destroyer that thrives in damp environments, weakening shingles, lifting roof materials, and shortening your roof’s lifespan.


At VGRC, LLC, we don’t just clean roofs—we PROTECT them. Moss removal is one of the most critical services we offer because it saves homeowners thousands in roof repairs.


👷‍♀️🍃 Kc, The Pine Needle Warrior and 🥷 I, The Roof Ninja, are here to break down why moss is a major threat and how VGRC’s professional moss removal protects your home for years to come.


WHAT MAKES MOSS SO DESTRUCTIVE?


Moss is not just a cosmetic issue—it’s an aggressive, moisture-trapping plant that burrows into roofing materials and leads to serious structural damage.


🛑 Moss holds moisture – Unlike dirt or debris, moss acts like a sponge, keeping your roof damp 24/7, accelerating decay.

🛑 Moss grows UNDER shingles – The root-like structures of moss pry up shingles and tiles, breaking the waterproof barrier.

🛑 Moss causes wood rot – As moisture seeps beneath the shingles, it rots wood decking and compromises roof strength.

🛑 Moss reduces your roof’s life span – A roof covered in moss can fail YEARS sooner than a properly maintained one.

🛑 Moss creates the perfect breeding ground for algae & mold – Once moss takes over, other damaging organisms follow.


💡 PRO TIP: If you see moss on your roof, it’s already causing damage beneath the surface. Immediate removal is the key to saving your shingles!



WHY SPOKANE COUNTY HOMES ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR MOSS GROWTH


Spokane’s climate is a breeding ground for moss, making moss removal a MUST for long-term roof health.


🌲 Tree Cover – Shaded roofs dry slower, creating a damp, moss-friendly environment.

🌧️ Frequent Rainfall – Spokane’s wet seasons fuel moss growth, accelerating roof damage.

❄️ Snow & Ice Accumulation – Snow keeps roofs wet for long periods, allowing moss to thrive.

🍃 Pine Needle & Leaf Accumulation – Organic debris traps moisture, giving moss an ideal home.


💡 PRO TIP: If you have shade, nearby trees, or a damp roof, you need regular moss inspections to stay ahead of damage!


THE VGRC DIFFERENCE: COMPLETE MOSS REMOVAL & LONG-TERM PREVENTION


Unlike some companies that just scrape off surface moss, VGRC eliminates moss at the root and prevents it from coming back.


✅ Safe, Non-Damaging Removal – No harsh scrubbing, no high-pressure washing, just gentle, effective moss removal that preserves your shingles.

✅ Roof Blow-Off Included – We remove pine needles and leaves first, eliminating the moisture traps that help moss grow.

✅ Preventative Treatments – We apply professional-grade moss prevention solutions that keep moss from returning.

✅ Seasonal Maintenance Options – Our routine roof care plans ensure moss never gets a chance to come back.


💡 PRO TIP: DIY moss removal can cause more harm than good! Scraping or pressure washing damages shingles—trust professionals for safe removal.


THE DANGERS OF DIY MOSS REMOVAL


Homeowners often try to remove moss themselves—but improper cleaning methods cause even worse damage.


🚫 Pressure Washing Weakens Shingles – High-pressure water strips away protective granules, shortening your roof’s lifespan.

🚫 Scraping Tears Shingles – Moss is embedded under shingles; scraping only removes part of it while damaging roofing materials.

🚫 Household Chemicals Don’t Work – Bleach and vinegar solutions damage shingles without fully killing the moss.

🚫 Missed Spores Mean Fast Regrowth – Without proper treatment, moss will regrow even stronger.


💡 PRO TIP: Improper moss removal can VOID your roof’s warranty! VGRC removes moss correctly while keeping your roof under warranty.


FUN FACT: MOSS CAN ADD OVER 500 POUNDS OF WEIGHT TO YOUR ROOF


Did you know that moss holds up to 20x its weight in water? A heavily moss-covered roof can weigh hundreds of extra pounds, putting unnecessary stress on your home’s structure.


💡 PRO TIP: A moss-free roof lasts YEARS longer. Prevention is always cheaper than repairs!
