At Matt’s Home Services, we know that moss, algae, and lichen growth on your roof can cause serious damage if not addressed properly.
Homeowners often ask whether pressure washing is the best solution.
The truth is: **your roof should never be pressure-washed.** Pressure washing strips away the protective layers of your shingles or shakes, weakens the roofing material, and can void warranties. Over time, this harsh method accelerates deterioration rather than preventing it.
Why Pressure Washing Should Be Avoided
While pressure washing may quickly remove visible moss and dirt, it also forces water beneath the shingles, loosening them and creating pathways for leaks.
It can also damage the wood fibres of cedar shakes, making them more vulnerable to water absorption and rot. Soft washing roof moss removal with eco-friendly treatments is the only method for long-term roof health.
