Should I clean my roof shingles if the roof has physical damage on it?

• <div><p>You should not clean roof shingles if the roof has damage like missing shingles or low spots where water may accumulate. You should focus on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-roof-repairs-cost.htm">repairing the roof</a> before any cleaning process occurs. If you notice roof damage as you’re climbing on the roof to clean it, stop immediately. Call a roofing pro to make repairs. Cleaning a roof that has damage could lead to pooling water or water damage to the roof decking. The roof cleaning process removes mold and mildew, making the roof look better. It is not going to fix physical damage, though.</p></div>

Q: What are some signs your roof needs cleaning?

• <div><p>Other than it looking like a dirty car, there are some other signs you need to clean your roof. Moss growth, algae (often black streaks), grime buildup, buildup under shingles, and leaf buildup are all classic signs a cleaning is overdue. If you have neighbors, take a look around. If your roof appears different in any way, that&rsquo;s another sign to call a pro to have it cleaned.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a sealed roof?

• <div><p>Inspect annually for damage, clean debris, and reapply sealant to maintain protection.</p></div>

Q: What kills green algae?

• <div><p>Vinegar, bleach, chlorine, barley straw, and a bevy of dedicated algaecides can kill algae, which is the easy part. Preventing algae from returning can be a struggle for some homeowners, but keeping the patio well-maintained and clean is a good first step. </p></div>

Q: How do you maintain a PVC roof?

• <div><p>To keep your PVC roof in top condition, keep it clear of debris, ensure drainage systems are working properly, and inspect it for damage regularly. Keeping the roof clear of ponding water, sharp debris, and other hazards will prevent damage. Have your roof inspected by a professional once a year to ensure the seams aren&rsquo;t damaged or separated&mdash;faulty seams can lead to destructive water intrusion. </p></div>
