Do you need to clear snow from the roof?

• <div><p>While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/did-storm-damage-your-roof.htm">damage to your roof</a>, which can lead to needing costly repairs. </p><p>Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: How much snow is too much snow on a roof?

• <div><p>Generally, snow removal from a roof should occur once <b>over six inches of snow</b> accumulates, especially if you notice that ice dams have formed. Without <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, you can let the snow accumulation hit 12 inches before removing it. However, the amount of snow that is too much for your roof also depends on the sturdiness of your roof and the compactness of the snow. If your roof needs maintenance or has structural issues, it&rsquo;s best not to let the snow accumulate too much for fear of collapsing.</p></div>

Q: What does professional roof cleaning typically cost?

• <div><p>The cost depends on roof size, pitch, accessibility, and contamination extent. A steep roof or extensive moss growth may raise the price.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to clean your roof?

• <div><p>Roof cleaning isn&rsquo;t a necessity, but it can drastically improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal and even prolong the life of your roof, so it&rsquo;s often a great investment. It&rsquo;s especially a good idea if shaded parts of your roof experience algae or moss growth, which can damage the shingles and hold water against them, increasing the risk of a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-unexpected-dangers-leaky-roof.htm">roof leak</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels need to be cleaned?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s not completely necessary for them to operate properly, as the occasional rainfall can rinse away dirt and debris, manually cleaning solar panels from time to time can keep them operating more efficiently.</p><p>Dirt, debris, pollen, and bird droppings can collect on the surface of the panels. Depending on the amount of solar panels you have, this can add up over time, so set a regular maintenance schedule. Moreover, if you live in a climate with little to no rainfall, more debris can accumulate, causing inefficiencies that would be clear in your electricity bill. </p></div>
