Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</p></div>

Q: Can I just rinse my solar panels?

• <div><p>You can rinse your solar panels in some cases. For example, periodically rinsing your solar panels can remove light debris if you live in an agricultural or dusty area. Light dust and dirt won&rsquo;t affect efficiency much, but they can build up and mix with other debris like animal droppings, leaves, and small sticks. </p></div>

Q: How much maintenance do tile roofs need?

• <div><p>Clay tile roofs require minimal maintenance, as they stand up very well to the elements and often won&rsquo;t fade in direct sunlight. They also don&rsquo;t need sealing. Concrete tiles are also relatively low maintenance, but you will need more maintenance than with clay. You&rsquo;ll need to seal concrete every few years to improve water resistance, and the color will fade a bit more quickly than with clay.</p></div>

Q: Can I put salt on my roof for ice dams?

• <div><p>It is not advisable to use salt on your roof to prevent or remove ice dams. It&rsquo;s not only mostly ineffective but can also cause serious damage to your roof itself. Salt can rust metal, damage masonry, pit shingles, and cause runoff that&rsquo;s damaging to plants and animals. </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>
