As a rule, moss on a shaded Lake Balboa slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. On most jobs, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Lake Balboa property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.
Lake Balboa gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Dry offshore winds reach Lake Balboa through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Lake Balboa slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. That is as true in Lake Balboa as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
