cleaning soot of roof

Return to I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

Return to Forum

Hi. I have a fin al metal roof and after 25 years there seems to be a build up of soot from the wood stove chimney. I would like to know how to clean this as it is restricting the ability of snow to slide off the roof. Thanks for your consideration on this matter. DIA
