Pressure washing in Winter Springs, FL

Common cleaning problems around Winter Springs

Winter Springs runs along the south shore of Lake Jesup, and many neighborhoods back up to ponds, wetlands or wooded conservation land. Living near water and trees is part of the appeal, but it also means more humidity and more shade. Those two conditions are why so many homes here get green algae on the north side of the house, dark streaks on the roof and slippery mildew on pool decks and walkways.

Driveways pick up their own set of stains: tire marks, oil drips, rust from irrigation water and fertilizer, and the black mildew that grows in the cracks of older concrete. Pavers get weeds and ant sand in the joints, and their color fades when they aren't resealed.

Soft washing vs. pressure washing

Not every surface should be blasted with high pressure. Stucco, painted siding, screens and especially shingle roofs are usually cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash. A cleaning solution kills the algae and mildew, and then it's rinsed off gently. Concrete and pavers can take more pressure, usually with a surface cleaner that keeps the result even and avoids leaving stripes.

If you've gotten a notice, include the deadline in your request. Spring after pollen season and early fall after the lovebugs are popular times to book, so it helps to ask a few weeks ahead if you can.
