Get rid of moss, lichen and algae with Moss Removal Treatment’s quick and easy solution

DO you ever look up at your roof and see the nasty green growth of moss, lichen and algae ruining your most important asset?

Well Moss Removal Treatment, or MRT, has the solution with their quick satellite image quotes, fast turnaround times and easy removal process.

“We wanted to provide a service for homeowners who are looking for a sustainable solution for keeping their roof clean at a lower cost,” said Debbie McKee from MRT. “The service requires less complications for both the workers and the customers, making it a suitable for both parties.”

It’s not unusual for homes and commercial premises within Ballarat to suffer from a moss growth issue. Often the roof is neglected, and moss and lichen are left to grow and look unsightly.

MRT provides a cost effective, safe and hassle-free product that works over time. MRT kills the moss and spores preventing the moss from growing back and can be applied to multiple surfaces.

“Moss and lichen, if left for too long can cause surface damage and lead to roofing issues in the near future,” says Debbie. “After application, green algae and moss turns a yellow-brown colour which is the first stage of the treatment.

“From here on, the wind and rain break the moss and lichen down into dust and dirt, which washes off the roof. The product also washes the black mould stain that the lichen and moss leaves behind, which pressure cleaning struggles to get rid of.”

MRT’s treatment keeps moss away for a long time and is environmentally and pet friendly. The product cleans surfaces such as Colorbond, terracotta and cement tiles.

Staff use their website to quote your roof by satellite without an on-site visit. This enables the company to provide quick quotes, with less hassle for customers. Once the quote’s accepted, MRT likes to have the work completed within two weeks (weather permitting).

The staff take “before” and “after” photos and work comes with a three-year guarantee that no new green regrowth will occur – that said, MRT has completed jobs eight years ago that still look fantastic today.

As the treatment isn’t visually instant, staff take photos, monitor the progress of the treatment and do follow up inspections to ensure the product has been effective.

“Ballarat has a great deal of mould and lichen and MRT feel passionate about helping the local community remove unsightly moss,” said Debbie. “Servicing the Ballarat, Bellarine, Surf Coast and surrounding areas, we feel that the treatment is a solution for the Ballarat region as it is a great alternative to pressure washing roof surfaces.”
