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: What chemicals do you use for soft washing?

• <div><p>Soft washing chemicals typically consist of a mix of sodium hypochlorite (or a chemical component of bleach) and water. While sodium hypochlorite and bleach are often thought to be the same thing, there is one small but key difference between the two: sodium hypochlorite comes in powdered rather than liquid form, which means that it&rsquo;s also more concentrated and more effective from less product overall.</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: 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 repairs include cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include cleaning as part of the repair process. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>
