Roof Moss
Treatment FAQs

Can you apply moss treatment in wet weather?

While some treatments require dry conditions to properly adhere and activate, others are rain-tolerant and can still work when applied in light rain. However, dry weather is generally preferred to ensure maximum product effectiveness.

Will the team walk on my roof to apply treatment?

Where possible, treatment is applied from the ground or with ladders and extension tools. If roof access is necessary, professionals take care to avoid damage — particularly with delicate materials like concrete or clay tiles. They assess safety and material fragility before stepping on any roof.

Is moss treatment safe for tank water systems?

If you collect rainwater, it’s important to disconnect your tank during treatment and leave it disconnected for the period recommended by your service provider (often a couple of rainfalls). Eco-friendly products are available that are safer for tank systems, but always mention your setup beforehand.

How will I know if the treatment is working?

You will start to see moss discolour and die off over the following weeks. Dead moss may take time to naturally break down and fall off, especially in areas with minimal rainfall. Your provider may offer optional rinsing if quicker results are desired.

Are chemical moss treatments safe for my roof?

When applied correctly, chemical treatments specifically designed for roofs are safe and effective. DryGutts have the knowledge and experience to ensure proper application.​

What time of year is best for moss treatment?

Treating moss during its active growing seasons—typically in the cooler, wetter months—is most effective. However, treatments can be applied year-round as needed.​

Are there eco-friendly options for moss removal?

Yes, DryGutts use biodegradable chemical treatments that are less harmful to the environment.​

Why is it important to remove moss from my roof?

Moss retains moisture, which can lead to the deterioration of roofing materials, causing leaks and structural damage over time. Regular removal helps maintain the integrity and longevity of your roof.​

How does moss affect the lifespan of my roof?

Moss growth can shorten your roof's lifespan by trapping moisture against the roofing materials, leading to rot, decay, and the breakdown of shingles or tiles.​

Can I remove moss from my roof myself, or should I hire a professional?

While DIY is possible, hiring professionals like DryGutts is recommended to ensure safety and effectiveness, especially for steep or complex roofs. DryGutts have the necessary equipment and expertise.​ This includes safety harnesses and specialised safety training.

How often should I have my roof treated for moss?

The frequency depends on your local climate and the surrounding environment. In moss-prone areas, treatments every 1-2 years may be necessary to prevent regrowth.​

How long does it take to see results after a moss treatment?

Results can vary based on the treatment used. Some products show effects within hours, while others may take weeks to fully eliminate moss.​

Can moss grow back after treatment?

Without preventive measures, moss can return. Regular maintenance and treatments help prevent regrowth.​

Does moss only grow on old roofs?

No, moss can grow on roofs of any age if conditions are favourable, such as in shaded, moist environments.​

These guys were great - the whole team!

These guys were great - the whole team. Super professional, genuine and just all around nice to deal with. Mitch did an over and above job on washing well crusted grime and lichen out of my old gutters (which feed my drinking water), took care of some leaking spots nicely and double checked the job was well done.

They look beautiful! Thanks Josh, Mitchell and Rebecca 👍

It is not often that integrity and professionalism comes first!

Thank you so much for DryGutts for coming out to my home quickly and assessing my queries. Even though I did not need my gutters cleaned in the end you did not try a hard sell. I truly appreciated your honesty and advice that had no benefits to your business.

Thank you again for your kindness. I would highly recommend Dry Gutts for any of your gutter needs.

DryGutts did an amazing job on our doer-upper of a house

We've not had time to do the gutters with all the reno work we're doing. DyGutts made the job look so easy and this is for gutters that had areas of plantation growing. DryGutts disconnected all the down pipes as we're on tank and set them all back up real quick.

Will have DryGutts back at our place again in another 6-12 months to do a full house wash.

Stuart Shepherd, Hamilton

We are very impressed by the results

We have had a very positive experience with DryGutts. From the prompt response  and very professional assessment was made, with detailed images of the roof. The work was done with a minimum of fuss and very expertly.

We’ve had various other contractors before and never had such a good experience. I thoroughly recommend them!

I am so pleased I chose this company

Best service! I am so pleased I chose this company. The whole team - administration and operators were impressive. Professional, do what they say they will do and do it beyond expectation, so pleasant and helpful.

The house looks totally different and will continue to look so as I am definitely having them back again!

Loved the honesty when given a quote

Loved the honesty when given a quote, not charging for more than necessary, particularly gutters which weren't too bad. Quote & work completed and what a pleasure it has been to deal with everyone in the company.

Their honesty, workmanship, helpfulness & good value is so much appreciated.

Chelsey Stewart, Hamilton

Honest and genuine, polite and professional

Requested a quote for gutters to be cleared. Instant response and I accepted. Polite and professional operator.

When work completed was advised the cost would be reduced as the job proved to be easier and less time consuming than anticipated. From what I thought was a FAIR quote I was pleasantly surprised to find the account reduced by 40%.

Very impressed to deal with such honest and genuine operators.
Highly recommend and I will continue to use DryGutts services.

Joan Thomas, Hamilton

Overall great customer service. 

Josh, Mitch, devina are awesome. The experience from the beginning until the end has been great. Prompt communication and you get what has been promised. Would surely use their service in the future and would strongly recommend them.

I like the fact they go the extra mile by visiting the property and see the scope of work before they quote.

They do realize the fact that one size does not fit all. Continue doing the great work with honesty and dedication.

Responded very promptly with a very reasonable price!

Came across DryGutts at the perfect time as my property is overdue for a roof treatment. Josh responded to my quote request very promptly with a very reasonable price! The job was done about a week from when I requested.

Also, really appreciated Josh who pointed out to me while he was up on the roof that he noticed smell of gas - which allowed me to check for potential gas leak that would've gone unnoticed!

100% would recommend him to anyone!
