Check for Moss and Algae "In moist climates, it’s not uncommon to see dark streaks on asphalt roofs. Algae growth causes this discoloration. It usually is not harmful to your roof, but it can cause staining. Moss, however, can be damaging and it should be removed." "Some homeowners try to remove algae stains and moss with vigorous scrubbing or pressure washing, but these can damage the shingle and shorten its life. You should talk to roofing supply company about proper cleani...ng for discolored and moss-covered shingles." From https://americanbuildingandroofing.com/tips-extend-life-as/

TRT Roof Maintenance wants to help people in the "middle of their roof's warranty" to avoid early damage caused by moss lifting shingles or prying open flashing around chimneys or skylights. If you see moss starting to get hold of your roof give us a call at 250-385-3124. (or you may need this "roof buying guide" sooner rather than later)

Keep your roof in good shape! Clean off debris, which holds water and causes deterioration. It collects behind all penetrations, like pipes, the chimney and skylights, as well as in valleys where roof sections meet at an angle. https://www.builddirect.com/blog/roofing-maintenance/

Roof - Should You Pressure-Wash It? Consumer Reports says: No. Tempting as it might be to blast away unsightly moss and algae, using a pressure washer to clean your roof is dangerous, not to mention potentially damaging.
