Those conditions can lead to plenty of moisture and/or humidity. which in time can lead to molding in the attic or A stench of mildew at home.

8. MOSS PRESENT:

Can grow on roof surfaces that don’t get much sunlight, especially in cool, moist climates. Moss growth can be more than a cosmetic issue. Moss holds moisture against the roof surface and over time in freezing climates can cause damage to the granules on top of the shingles and inflame plywood.
