The Pacific Northwest problem
Moss is already damaging your roof by the time you see it
The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful place to live. Part of the price we pay is long wet months that grow moss, algae, mold, mildew and black streaks on our homes. They do not just look bad. They damage your property.
Moss grabs onto the granules of your roof. When it is removed, by any method, it takes granules with it and takes years off your roof's life. Left untreated, moss and algae can stop your roof from shedding water properly and raise the risk of leaks and moisture buildup.
That is why, as a general rule, once you see moss beginning to grow on your roof, it is time to clean it.
