Auckland’s warm, wet climate is a perfect breeding ground for moss, lichen, and algae, especially on shaded or older rooftops. Left untreated, this organic growth doesn’t just look bad — it slowly eats away at your roofing materials, clogs gutters, and leads to leaks, rot, and expensive repairs.
At Metro Water Blasting, we specialise in roof moss treatment services across Auckland, using a proven biocide solution that eliminates growth at the root and prevents it from coming back.
Why Moss on Your Roof Is a Serious Problem
Moss and lichen don’t just sit on the surface:
- 🌱 They trap moisture, accelerating rust and rot
- 🌧️ Block water flow and clog gutters
- 🪨 Grow between tiles and under flashing
- 🧱 Dislodge protective coatings and roof granules
- 💸 Shorten roof lifespan by years
Even if you’ve had a recent roof clean, moss grows back unless treated.
How Our Roof Moss Treatment Works
We apply a commercial-grade biocide spray that:
- ✅ Kills moss, lichen, and algae down to the root
- ✅ Soaks deep into tile or metal profiles
- ✅ Works gradually with rain and sunlight
- ✅ Prevents regrowth for 12–24 months
- ✅ Requires no high pressure — safe for all roof types
Results develop over 2–6 weeks, with the roof self-cleansing naturally. It’s ideal after a soft wash or as a standalone service.
Where It’s Most Needed in Auckland
We’ve treated thousands of roofs in high-growth areas like:
West Auckland – Titirangi, Glen Eden, Te Atatū
Bush-covered homes and shaded valleys = moss hotspots.
North Shore – Albany, Birkenhead, Greenhithe
Salt air and trees = lichen and algae build-up year-round.
Central Auckland – Mt Eden, Remuera, Parnell
Historic homes with older roofing are prone to tile damage from moss.
South Auckland – Papakura, Takanini, Māngere
Wider roof spans see pooling water and thick moss in winter.
East Auckland – Botany, Howick, Dannemora
Frequent rain and tree-lined properties accelerate regrowth.
