One-time moss removal is effective, but in Victoria's coastal climate, moss will return without routine maintenance. Thomson Roof Treatment's commercial Maintenance Program is designed for building owners and property managers who need predictable roof care they can budget for year after year.
How it works:After your initial commercial treatment, we schedule your property for retreatment at the end of your 2-year guarantee period. The retreatment is simpler and more affordable than the initial removal. At this stage, our non-toxic solution is applied to suppress regrowth before moss can re-establish. Your guarantee is renewed for a further 12–24 months.
What you get: - Predictable annual maintenance cost for your facilities budget
- Written guarantee renewed with every retreatment
- Post-treatment report for your property maintenance records
- Automatic scheduling. No calendar reminders, no chasing contractors
- Priority scheduling for commercial accounts
Commercial roofs face moss challenges that residential properties don't. Here is what makes professional commercial treatment essential:
Larger surface areas spread faster.
A commercial building's flat or low-pitch roof provides moss with the ideal growing conditions of low drainage, pooled moisture, and consistent shade. Without treatment, moss spreads across the entire roof membrane within a single wet season in Victoria's climate.
Moss voids commercial roofing warranties.
Commercial roofing manufacturers, including IKO, Owens Corning, and GAF, specify that moss must be removed, and that pressure washing is not an approved removal method. Our RCABC-approved hand-removal and non-toxic treatment process keeps your warranty intact.
Untreated moss creates insurance and liability risk.
Moss accelerates roof deterioration, leading to membrane failures and water ingress. In a commercial lease context, roof maintenance obligations are typically defined in the lease agreement. Documented moss treatment demonstrates due diligence and protects your legal position as a building owner.
Drainage system damage.
Moss debris blocked in commercial gutters and downspouts causes overflow damage to fascia, soffits, and building cladding. In flat-roof buildings, standing water pooling is one of the leading causes of premature membrane failure. Our service includes clearing all gutters and downspouts.
