It’s good to put the products you used in the description. It’s easier to go in there later and refer to them than quickly listening to it on video only.

A length of copper tube along the ridge so the rain can wash over the roof from it will do the trick continuously.

Hello Spencer, love your videos. I have a tile roof with a lot of moss but also have solar panels. What chemical is best to use on the tile roof to get rid of the moss while not damaging the solar panels? Would something with Sodiam bicarbonate work since bleach and other chemicals will damage the solar panels if they get sprayed on the panels by mistake or wind? Look forward to your expert response. thanks Anil

@Broxty 10 ай бұрын

No lol.... it's more expensive for a reason, bucko.

@lightball1414 9 ай бұрын

Oxiclean has a small amount of sodium percarbonate and not strong enough to be effective on roofs unless you buy a ton of it which would be very expensive.

@tsalazarrubio Жыл бұрын

Do you only spread the powder at the peak and then let the water and distribute it downwards onto the lower parts of the roof? Thanks

@lightball1414 9 ай бұрын

You must coat the roof evenly. If its only on the ridge, it might be too weak to be effective by the time it reaches the bottom.

@bromz8 Жыл бұрын

Hey quick question, do you find your customers prefer the powders vs a softwash? Just curious as I am in BC, but we will have water restrictions in summer and might only be able to go the powder direction.

@SpencerClaeys Жыл бұрын

Good question! Most people don’t really care. Just know that sometimes the powder can last a while if it doesn’t get rained on so in the summer some folks might not want powder up there for a few weeks

Hey mate ! Really enjoy your content. There’s one issue I’m having with roof cleaning that j can’t seem to find much answers on. Here in Australia a lot of people down pipes are connected to public water ways which your not allowed to let any contaminated water run down. So when cleaning metal roofs etc and rinsing what’s your methods for this situation ? Do you take of downpipes and redirect water into garden ? Or pump out the water from the gutters into the garden ?. Would be great if someone could make a informative video on this ✌️

@lightball1414 9 ай бұрын

You’ll want to disconnect the downpipes and redirect them into the soil and away from plants until the chemical has been diluted and the water is clean enough to go into the drains. Vigorously water the area around the disconnected downspout runoff to help dilute the chemical and prevent plants and grass from damage.

What about spraying “Moss-out” lawn solution on the roof when there will be no rain for at least 2-3 days? Won’t that kill it and then be easily hosed off with a spray nozzle - or just let a hard rain wash it off?

@lightball1414 9 ай бұрын

Moss killer for lawns contain high levels of iron. This will leave permanent rust stains on hard surfaces such as concrete and your roof too! Chemicals and fertilizers from the garden section at the hardware store should never be used on the roof unless specifically indicated on the label.

My queries…I’m in the UK going to have the moss removed but can’t get it treated till spring as it’s too cold and wet atm how long till the moss returns ?

@davidisaacson9328 3 ай бұрын

I find it easier to treat the moss when the moss is actively growing and when the weather is wet out. Just make sure to use a product that is safe for roofs( usual ingredient would be "ammoniated soap of fatty acids-MossOut brand). Don't use anything with Iron in the product! It will permanently stain your roof! After treated and the weather improves...you should be able to spray the moss off with a garden hose. Cheers!

Run lengths of copper tubing along the ridge line. You can hang it from both sides. The slow dissolving of the copper produces Copper Sulphate CuCuSo4 that kills the moss when it rains. Great for Cottages. Maintenance free.
