The roof is near the end of its typical service life. As a roofing product nears this point, the chances of a roof leak greatly increase. Recommend consulting with a licensed roofing contractor to further evaluate and monitor or repair/replace as needed.

Recommend cleaning and removing any moss from the roof, after which a moss treatment plan can be established to limit future growth. Avoid power washing the moss off because that can drive moisture under the shingles, damaging the underlying roof components. If the roof is to high or steep, recommend contacting a licensed roofing contractor or moss removal specialist.
Moss growth is usually greatest on north-facing roofs, roof areas shaded by trees and other places that are not exposed to enough sun to dry out.
Once established, it acts like a sponge, soaking up and storing rainwater. Some of that water then wicks up under the shingles through capillary action and soaks into and through the roof underlayment, which is typically 15- or 30-pound felt. Eventually, it saturates the roof sheathing below.
Moss can shorten the life span of a shingled roof and result in costly repairs both structural and cosmetic that would not be necessary if the roof were maintained properly and kept clear of moss.
