Cleaning Roof w/ Copper Gutters

[reggie]

Anyone ever cleaned a roof with copper gutters? I'm concerned with possible discoloration. Any input would be appreciated.

What are you using to clean the roof with?

 

[reggie]

sh and water

 

[David O'Connell Jr]

I know that it'll tear apart the copper, so to speak. SH and copper don't play well together.

We haven't had the chance ( woo-hoo) to do that yet. Down in So. FLA there are not that many copper gutters, as a matter of fact I can't recall seeing any at all.

I have a house I have washed 3x and the roof once in a five yr period. No discoloration or other problems to date.

As long as the gutters aren't clogged and spilling over the only possible discoloration if any, should be on the inside. A careful sauce application w/good rinse and you should be fine. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it

Because of the slick roof or becuase of the copper gutters?

I do respect the fact that you were professional enough to pass on the job instead of getting in over your head

I would assume you will be ok reggie. Most copper gutters have a clear coat finish on them to keep the shine. If this is true then rinse and flood brother. Git er done! Reggie be sure to get your signature block filled out also in the User CP tab.
