Moss on a shaded Mission Viejo slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Realistically, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Mission Viejo property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Flashings at the chimney on an older Mission Viejo house usually need attention well before the covering does.
