Q: Do roof rakes cause ice dams?

• <div><p>Roof raking helps clear snowfall from your roof and, in turn, you hope that this prevents ice dams. But can roof raking actually cause them? Generally, no, it cannot. But you should note that while, in some cases, you might successfully prevent ice dams from forming near the edge of your roof by keeping it cleared with a roof rake, they could still form higher up on the roof, where you are unable to reach. This may leave you wondering: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-roof-raking-prevent-ice-dams.htm">Does roof raking prevent ice dams</a>? While it is not a 100% guaranteed way to prevent them, it does help.</p></div>

Q: Should asphalt shingles be power washed?

• <div><p>No, asphalt shingles should not be power washed. A power washer or pressure washer is too strong to use on asphalt shingles and will loosen the adhesive holding them to your roof, causing them to fall off. It&rsquo;s best to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/roof-cleaners/">local roof cleaner</a> to clean those shingles safely and without damaging them. </p></div>

Q: Are there any risks associated with roof cleaning?

• <div><p>Risks include slipping, shingle damage, or chemical misuse. Professionals ensure safety and proper procedures to minimize these hazards.</p></div>

Q: Can you clean algae off a metal roof?

• <div><p>It may require stronger cleansers or chemicals, higher-pressure spray, or scrubbing to completely remove algae from a metal roof. Start with a mild cleanser; if that doesn&rsquo;t work and you're comfortable doing so, use a stronger mix of ⅓ cup of laundry detergent, 1 quart of bleach, and 3 quarts of water to gently scrub the algae with a soft-bristled brush. If algae is present across large portions of your roof, doesn&rsquo;t come off with gentle scrubbing and cleansers, or is in hard-to-reach areas, this may be a job better left to a pro.</p></div>
