Q: What happens if you don't shovel your roof?

• <div><p>Clearing snow from your roof can be a tedious and time-consuming job. Even so, it is extremely important to maintain your roof during the winter months. You can help prevent ice dams and avoid roof collapse.</p><p>As a side note, rather than shoveling your roof, you should always use a roof rake to modify the job. Otherwise, call in a professional.</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 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: Do gable vents let water in?

• <div><p>Yes, gable vents can let water in. That being said, this usually only occurs during extreme conditions like heavy rainfall. You can prevent water from entering through gable vents by adding a screen that traps the water before it can enter.</p></div>
