Keeping your roof clean in Deltona isn’t just about curb appeal — it’s about protecting your investment, your health, and your home.
In Central Florida’s humid climate, roofs are constantly exposed to moisture, pollen, and algae. That black streaking you see? It’s often caused by a living organism — and it’s eating away at your shingles. Left unchecked, this can lead to costly repairs or even premature roof replacement.
At Del-Flow Power Washing, we help homeowners across Deltona safely clean and restore their roofs using a professional soft wash process designed for Florida’s unique conditions.
🌴 Why Roofs Get So Dirty in Deltona
Deltona is no stranger to Florida’s classic recipe for roof growth:
- High humidity + frequent rain = algae blooms
- Tree-covered neighborhoods (like Deltona Lakes, Saxon Ridge, or Lake Gleason) = moss and lichen growth
- Pollen buildup from oak and pine trees = roof stains and residue
These conditions lead to dark streaks, green splotches, or even full patches of moss. But this isn’t just grime — it’s biology.
🧬 What’s Growing On Your Roof?
One of the most common roof invaders is Gloeocapsa magma, a type of blue-green algae that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. It:
- Causes black streaks and uneven discoloration
- Retains moisture, degrading shingles over time
- Contributes to higher attic temps and energy bills
Moss and lichen also anchor into shingle granules, slowly breaking them apart and making your roof vulnerable to water intrusion.
💧 How Roof Cleaning Actually Works
We don’t pressure wash your roof — that would cause more harm than good.
Instead, we use a low-pressure soft wash system that applies a specialized solution to:
- Kill mold, algae, mildew, and moss at the root
- Gently rinse away stains without damaging shingles or tiles
- Extend the life of your roof without voiding warranties
This method is safe for all roof types, including asphalt shingles, tile, and metal. It’s the industry standard recommended by ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association).
⏳ How Often Should You Clean Your Roof in Deltona?
For most homes in Deltona, roof cleaning is recommended every 2–3 years — or sooner if:
- Your roof is shaded by trees or faces north
- You’re in an HOA with appearance standards
- You’re preparing for a home inspection, appraisal, or sale
Some insurance companies even require periodic roof cleaning to maintain coverage. (Here’s what the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation says about roof maintenance.)

👃 Health Benefits of Roof Cleaning
Removing algae and mold from your roof also improves the air quality around your home, especially during summer when spores get airborne. Roof algae can make its way into HVAC systems, increasing allergy flare-ups and respiratory irritation.
🧼 More Than Just Looks
Roof cleaning doesn’t just boost curb appeal — it:
- Extends roof life by reducing biological decay
- Reduces energy costs by reflecting sunlight properly
- Improves resale value by giving your home a like-new look
