How Spokane County Homes Stay Moss-Free All Year Round 🌿


A mossy roof but not for long with the help of VGRC!

Moss might look quaint and green, but don’t let its innocent appearance fool you—it’s a roof’s worst enemy. Left unchecked, moss can cause leaks, rot, and even shorten the lifespan of your roof.


At VGRC, Kc, The Pine Needle Warrior 👷‍♀️🍃, and I, The Roof Ninja 🥷, have seen how quickly moss can take over Spokane County roofs. As a TRUE LOCAL COMPANY, we’re here to share expert tips on spotting and stopping moss before it becomes a costly problem.



Why Moss is a Major Threat to Spokane County Roofs


Spokane County’s cool, damp climate creates the perfect conditions for moss to thrive. If ignored, moss can cause serious roof damage.


🌧️ Moss Holds Moisture & Causes Rot

Moss absorbs and retains moisture like a sponge. This constant dampness accelerates wood rot, mold growth, and shingle deterioration. Over time, your roof’s protective layers weaken, leading to costly repairs.


🧱 Moss Lifts & Damages Roofing Materials

As moss spreads, its roots creep under shingles, lifting them away from the roof’s surface. This creates gaps where water seeps in, causing leaks, structural damage, and energy inefficiency.


💵 Moss Can Lead to Expensive Roof Repairs

Ignoring moss growth often results in pricey roof repairs or even full replacements. Preventative care is far cheaper than a major fix down the road.



How to Spot Moss Before It Takes Over


Catching moss early is the key to protecting your roof. Spokane County homeowners should watch for these warning signs:


🌿 Green Patches on Your Roof

Even small patches of green in shaded areas signal early moss growth. Act fast before it spreads!


🪟 Clogged Gutters & Roof GUNK

Moss loves gunk-filled gutters! When debris builds up, it traps moisture—creating a perfect environment for moss to flourish.


🏠 Damp, Shaded Roof Areas

Sections of your roof that rarely get sunlight will always be at higher risk. Overhanging trees can make the problem worse.


Pro Tip: Trim back tree branches to increase sunlight exposure and improve airflow over your roof!

Why DIY Moss Removal is a Bad Idea


While DIY removal may seem like a quick fix, it can do more harm than good. Here’s why professional moss removal is the safer choice:


⚠️ Roof Damage from Harsh Cleaning Methods

Using pressure washers or rough scrubbing can strip shingles of their protective layers, making them vulnerable to leaks.


⚠️ Incomplete Moss Removal

If moss isn’t removed at the root, it will grow back even faster. Many DIY treatments only kill surface moss, leaving behind hidden spores.


⚠️ Serious Safety Risks

Moss-covered roofs are extremely slippery. Without proper equipment and training, climbing on a mossy roof can be dangerous.
