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: 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&rsquo;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: Does bleach or vinegar remove moss best?

• <div><p>When deciding on which at-home solution to use, bleach and vinegar are both effective at removing moss from driveways. Bleach tends to last longer, keeping moss away for up to a year, while vinegar may need to be applied more frequently. However, vinegar is much gentler on the environment, making it a safer option overall.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best for roof cleaning?

• <div><p>The best time of year for roof cleaning depends on the climate in your area, but in most cases late spring or early summer are the best times. You should plan to clean your roof when it&rsquo;s dry and not too hot or cold. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to clean your roof in the late autumn to remove any built-up debris like leaves or branches. On the other hand, you shouldn&rsquo;t clean your roof when it&rsquo;s too cold, because you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">cause ice buildup</a>.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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>
