If you live in DeLand, chances are your roof has been quietly collecting more than just dirt.
With our warm, wet climate and dense tree cover, roofs in DeLand are a magnet for mold, algae, and mildew — and it’s more than just an eyesore.
Del-Flow Power Washing helps homeowners across DeLand protect and restore their roofs using a gentle, effective soft wash system. Whether you’re near Stetson University, Victoria Park, or north of Lake Beresford, roof cleaning is one of the smartest things you can do to preserve your home.
🌿 Why Roofs in DeLand Get Dirty So Fast
DeLand’s blend of natural beauty and historic neighborhoods creates a perfect storm for roof contamination:
- Humidity + afternoon rain = algae and mold
- Mature trees (especially near University Terrace or Glenwood) = moss and lichen buildup
- Pollen from oaks and pines = organic staining across shingle surfaces
These black streaks and green patches aren’t just cosmetic — they’re active growths that damage your roof over time.
🧫 What’s Really on Your Roof?
- Gloeocapsa magma: the black-streak-causing algae that feeds on the limestone in asphalt shingles
- Moss & lichen: dig into shingle granules, hold moisture, and slowly degrade roofing material
- Mold & mildew spores: contribute to poor air quality and increase allergy triggers around the home
Without intervention, this biological buildup shortens your roof’s lifespan and can void warranties.
đź’§ Our Safe Soft Wash Process
Pressure washing a roof is a bad idea — it can knock granules loose or crack tiles. That’s why we use a low-pressure soft wash system designed for:
- Shingle and tile roofs
- Stain removal without damage
- Biocide treatment that kills growth at the root
Our roof cleaning process is ARMA-approved and safe for your home, pets, and landscaping.
đź•’ How Often Should You Clean Your Roof in DeLand?
Most homes in DeLand should have their roof cleaned every 2–3 years, but you may need service sooner if:
- You’re under heavy tree cover (Glenwood, Euclid Heights)
- You’re part of a strict HOA (like Victoria Hills)
- You’re prepping for a home sale, insurance inspection, or refinancing
Some Florida insurance providers now require proof of regular roof maintenance for coverage or renewal.

🏡 DeLand Roof Cleaning Project Highlight
We recently soft-washed a roof in Victoria Trails for a homeowner preparing to list their property. The black streaks made the roof look 10+ years older — but just a few hours later, the roof looked like new.
“Dan came in and got it cleaned the same week. Saved us thousands — and our Realtor said it helped the house show way better.”

đź’ˇ Did You Know? Roof Cleaning = Lower Energy Bills
Algae-covered roofs absorb more heat, which increases attic temperatures and forces your AC to work harder. A clean roof reflects sunlight as it was designed to, helping you lower monthly energy costs.
