Moss & Algae Removal in Lakewood, California
The north slopes of the Lakewood roofs stay in the shade, and the marine layer feeds the growth. That is where the moss and the algae build up. Moss and algae removal in Lakewood means clearing the growth before it works into the shingles.
Signs of Moss and Algae on a Lakewood Roof
- Green or dark patches on the north slope
- Moss in the valleys and the joints
- Black streaks running down the shingles
- Lifted or curled shingle edges
- Damp, shaded areas near the trees
How We Remove Moss and Algae in Lakewood
- Inspect the roof — find the growth and the moisture traps
- Protect the plants — cover the landscaping below the roof
- Treat the growth — apply the cleaning solution that kills the moss
- Soft wash the surface — low pressure rinses the growth away
- Recommend prevention — branch trimming, zinc strips, or both
