Moss and also fungus growth would make roofs look uncared and will reduce your home’s curb appeal and value. The moss growth looks as black streaks on the roof and will increase very quickly.

Removing moss using power washing machine
You will also find that some home owners use a power washer to perform moss removal. I have also found a controversy over whether power washer can deteriorate the shingles and also result into leaks. When you do this with care, a power washer won’t deteriorate an asphalt shingled roof. The most common thing that happens is that homeowners who perform power wash don’t do it in proper manners, and they let water to run under the shingles and flow into the home. Also, when done in incorrect manner, the force of the power washer can result in the shingles to crack or loosen.
