Local proof points
Bird droppings concentrate around ridge lines, valley outlets, and any flat roof section. Uric acid in bird waste is aggressive towards cementitious materials and tile coatings — it accelerates surface degradation on the most exposed sections of the roof.
The gutter-fascia junction is the most common point of failure when gutters overflow due to blockage. Overflow saturates the fascia timber, which begins to rot, then the rafter end, and eventually allows water access to the ceiling space — a repair that costs multiples of a gutter clean.
Cleaning a moss-heavy roof in multiple passes is more effective than a single high-pressure blast. A first pass at moderate pressure lifts the bulk of the growth; a second pass at lower pressure removes the remaining rhizoids from the tile surface without driving them deeper.
