By and large, the biggest source for shingle discoloration in the greater mid-Atlantic region is a form of cyanobacteria, commonly referred to as blue-green algae.
This algae can be found throughout the world yet when it comes to colonizing on roofs, it most often occurs on the northern exposures and/or heavily shaded asphalt shingles.
Left untreated, it continues to only get worse.
Not too many years ago, algae related roof stains were predominately localized to the deep South.
Changes in shingle composition, along with the propagation of algae via the wind, have driven this nuisance as far north as Canada.

At American-ProTech, we find moss and/ or lichen growing on approximately 30% of the roofs that we treat.
Unlike the discoloration on roofs caused by algae, which disappear instantly with our services, moss and lichen are a completely different story.
Before we get in to that level of detail, let's first look at the basic definitions of lichen and moss.
A lichen is a composite organism that emerges from algae or cyanobacteria (or both) living among filaments of a fungus in a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship.

A very common source of roof leaks in the mid-Atlantic region can easily be avoided with periodic inspections and preventative maintenance.
This particular source is the common pipe collar that seals where the plumbing vents penetrate through the roof.
This common type of collar (as noted the images) has a life expectancy of 8-12 years, depending on a number of environmental factors.
And once a pipe collar ruptures, expands or inverts, it's not a case of 'if' it will leak - the concern then becomes just how bad IS it leaking.
