Low Pressure Drone Soft Wash

Understanding the Method

What Is Roof Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses biodegradable cleaning solutions to kill and remove algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and moss at the root level — rather than blasting them off with high pressure.


Traditional pressure washing can strip granules from asphalt shingles, crack tile, and void manufacturer warranties. Soft washing eliminates the growth without any of that damage, and the results last 4 to 6 times longer.


Our drone delivers the soft wash solution precisely across your entire roof from above — reaching every ridge, valley, and overhang without a single worker setting foot on your roof.

🌴 All services performed by FAA Part 107 certified pilots. Fully insured across all of Florida.

WHAT WE REMOVE

Built Different From the Start

Black Streaks (Gloeocapsa Magma)

The most common Florida roof problem. This cyanobacteria forms dark streaks down your roof and feeds on the limestone in your shingles. Soft wash kills it at the source.

Moss and Lichen

Moss and lichen hold moisture against your roof surface, accelerating deterioration and wood rot. Our treatment kills and loosens growth so it washes away naturally.

Mold and Mildew

Roof mold is more than an eyesore — it can affect air quality and spread to your soffits and fascia. We eliminate it completely with a single treatment.

Algae Growth

Roof algae thrive in Florida's tropical climate. Left untreated, it retains heat, shortens roof lifespan, and can invalidate some shingle warranties.

Organic Debris Staining

Leaves, berries, and organic matter leave tannin stains on your roof surface. Our soft wash formula breaks these down without scrubbing or pressure.

Dirt and Grime Buildup

Years of Florida weather, pollution, and pollen accumulate on your roof. A single soft wash treatment restores your roof to a clean, like-new appearance.

Dwell and Rinse


The solution dwells and kills biological growth at the root. A low-pressure rinse removes everything cleanly.

WHY DRONE VS. TRADITIONAL

No Ladders.

Better Results.

Traditional roof washing requires crews to physically access your roof — creating liability exposure and risk of shingle damage. Our drone eliminates both.

Zero Foot Traffic on Your Roof

Common questions

Roof Soft Washing FAQ

Q

Is soft washing safe for all roof types?

Yes. Soft washing is safe for asphalt shingles, clay and concrete tile, metal roofing, and slate. Unlike pressure washing, the low pressure and biodegradable solutions won't strip granules or crack tile.

Q

Will the cleaning solution harm my landscaping?

Yes. Soft washing is safe for asphalt shingles, clay and concrete tile, metal roofing, and slate. Unlike pressure washing, the low pressure and biodegradable solutions won't strip granules or crack tile.

Q

How long does a roof soft wash take?

Most residential roofs are completed in 2 to 4 hours. Larger commercial roofs may take a full day. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.

Q

Do I need to be home during the service?

You don't need to be present. Since no crew accesses the interior and the drone operates from the ground, we can complete the job while you're away. We'll send before and after photos when we're done.

Q

How long do the results last?

In Florida's climate, soft wash results typically last 2 to 3 years before biological regrowth begins to return. Our Residential Plus package includes a 6-month guarantee against regrowth.

Q

Can soft washing void my roof warranty?

Soft washing actually aligns with most shingle manufacturer recommendations. Pressure washing is what typically voids warranties. We can provide documentation of our process if needed for your warranty.

Q

What areas of Florida do you serve?

We serve all of Florida. Contact us with your location and we'll confirm coverage and scheduling availability for your area.

Q
