Can you remove moss from a metal roof?

• <div><p>Moss grows in dark areas of roofs, including in corners and gutters. If left alone, it can grow under roofing and cause permanent damage.

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’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>
