EIFS — the synthetic stucco on most Miami Class A office buildings, hotels, and condos built since the 1990s — is foam insulation behind a 1/16-inch polymer finish. Pressure washing cracks it, voids the warranty, and floods the insulation. Our drones soft-wash at sub-500 PSI with neutral-pH EIFS-rated chemistry.

EIFS cleaning in Miami requires sub-500 PSI soft-wash chemistry and neutral-pH EIFS-rated detergent — never high-pressure water and never chlorine. EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finishing System) is foam insulation behind a thin polymer finish coat used on most Class A office buildings, hotels, and condos built in Miami since the 1990s. Pressure washing cracks the finish, voids manufacturer warranties, and drives water behind the insulation. Drone soft-wash kills algae at the root with EIFS-safe chemistry and reaches every elevation without scaffolding or boom lifts.
Drone EIFS cleaning runs $0.10–$0.20 per square foot of wall area. Most Class A office buildings, hotels, and condo towers fall between $3,000 and $15,000 per project depending on building size and coastal exposure.
EIFS sounds hollow when tapped because of the foam insulation behind the finish coat. Real cementitious stucco sounds solid. Most Miami buildings constructed from the 1990s onward use EIFS. We confirm substrate by tap test during the pre-job survey before any chemistry touches the wall.
EIFS is a thin polymer finish (1/16 inch) over foam insulation. Pressure at any meaningful PSI cracks the finish, voids the manufacturer warranty, and drives water through the cracks into the insulation layer — where it can sit indefinitely, feeding hidden mold and rotting wood framing.
Coastal EIFS buildings — Brickell, Sunny Isles, Miami Beach, Hallandale Beach — need cleaning every 12–18 months. Inland Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach: every 18–24 months. Manufacturer maintenance schedules require documented cleaning to keep the warranty active.
Neutral-pH soft-wash kills algae at the root without cracking the finish coat.
Before
AfterEvery EIFS project starts with substrate confirmation — getting this wrong damages the wall and voids the warranty.
EIFS sounds hollow; real stucco sounds solid. We tap test every elevation during the site survey and document the result before any chemistry hits the wall.
Neutral-pH biodegradable detergent matched to the EIFS finish system. We share the product SDS with the property manager for the warranty file.
Most Class A buildings sit in controlled airspace near MIA, FLL, or PBI. LAANC authorization is filed and the certificate is carried on every job site.
The drone applies EIFS-rated detergent elevation by elevation at low pressure. Dwell time is 5–10 minutes per panel — chemistry does the work, never pressure.
Twin nozzles sheet pure water across every elevation, lifting dead algae and atmospheric soiling without touching the finish coat.

An engineered soft-wash system tuned specifically for EIFS — sub-500 PSI, neutral-pH chemistry, FAA-certified pilot.
EIFS is the most damage-prone facade system in commercial construction. Drone soft-wash is the safest way to clean it.
Tap test on every elevation during the site survey. EIFS-rated chemistry is selected before mobilization, and the cleaning record is documented.
Dryvit, Sto, Parex, and Senergy maintenance specs call for low-pressure cleaning with neutral-pH detergent — exactly what drone soft-wash delivers.
No scaffolding, swing stage, boom lift, or rope access. The pilot flies from a ground station — fall risk is removed entirely.
Sub-500 PSI cannot crack the 1/16-inch polymer finish. Neutral-pH detergent cannot degrade the polymer binder.
Every Miami flight is conducted by an FAA-licensed Part 107 pilot. LAANC authorizations are filed and carried on every job site.
We carry $2M CGL plus dedicated UAS (drone) liability and hull coverage. COIs naming owner, PM, and HOA/condo board issued before mobilization.

Final pricing depends on wall square footage, EIFS finish system, ground-pump staging access, airspace coordination, and frequency. Coastal buildings require 12–18 month cycles; inland 18–24 months.
Exterior Insulation and Finishing System — a multi-layer cladding made of foam insulation board (usually 1–4 inches thick) over a substrate, covered with a fiberglass-reinforced base coat and a thin polymer finish coat. EIFS is on most Miami Class A office buildings, hotels, and condos built since the 1990s because it's lightweight, energy-efficient, and architecturally flexible. It's also the most damage-prone facade system if cleaned incorrectly.
Tap the wall. EIFS sounds hollow because of the foam behind it; real cementitious stucco sounds solid. Visually they can look identical — same finish texture, same color palette. We confirm by tap test during the pre-job survey and adjust chemistry before any chemistry touches the wall.
The polymer finish coat is roughly 1/16 inch thick. Pressure water at 1,500+ PSI cracks the finish, peels it from the base coat, and forces water into the foam insulation. Once water is behind EIFS, it cannot drain — it sits and rots framing, feeds mold, and triggers warranty denials from Dryvit, Sto, Parex, and Senergy.
Neutral-pH biodegradable detergent applied at sub-500 PSI and rinsed with 0 TDS pure water. Specifically NOT sodium hypochlorite (pool-chlorine bleach) which degrades the polymer binder in the finish coat, causes chalking, and accelerates UV breakdown. Most cheap pressure-wash crews use chlorine because it's cheap and visibly fast — and it kills EIFS.
Tap test on every elevation during the pre-job survey, photograph the finish texture, look for expansion joints and back-wrap details at openings, and ask the property manager for construction documents when available. We adjust chemistry per substrate and document everything in writing before mobilization.
$0.10–$0.20 per square foot of wall area. A 30,000 sqft mid-rise EIFS facade typically runs $3,000–$6,000; a 100,000 sqft tower runs $10,000–$20,000. Fixed price after a free site survey, with annual-maintenance discounts and portfolio pricing available.
Coastal Miami EIFS: 12–18 months before visible algae return. Inland: 18–24 months. The chemistry kills Gloeocapsa magma at the root, so the duration is driven by airborne spore re-deposition, not by spores that survived the cleaning.
No. Dryvit, Sto, Parex, and Senergy maintenance specs explicitly call for low-pressure cleaning with neutral-pH detergent — exactly what drone soft-wash delivers. Pressure washing voids the warranty; soft-wash satisfies the maintenance requirement.
Mid-rise (4–10 stories): 1–2 days. High-rise (10–30 stories): 2–4 days. The drone covers 5–10 floors per day. There's no scaffolding setup, so the project starts producing on day one.
We carry $2M commercial general liability plus dedicated UAS (drone) liability and hull coverage. COIs naming the building owner, property manager, and HOA or condo board are issued before mobilization on every project.
Most Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach municipalities do not require special permits for FAA Part 107 operations on private commercial property. For controlled airspace near MIA, FLL, and PBI we file LAANC airspace authorization before mobilization.
Yes. No scaffolding, swing stage, or boom lift. The drone flies one elevation at a time on a published schedule. Pre-dawn or weekend flights are available for hotels and trading-floor offices at no premium.
Most Class A office, hotel, and condo construction in South Florida since 1990 is EIFS. We clean it with EIFS-rated chemistry across all three counties.
Most Miami-Dade Class A office buildings, hotels, and condos built since the 1990s use EIFS. Brickell financial-district towers, Aventura mixed-use, and Miami Beach hotels all require EIFS-rated chemistry — never chlorine.
Broward EIFS — Fort Lauderdale waterfront condos, Plantation office parks, Pembroke Pines hotels — all need 12–18 month cleaning cycles to keep manufacturer warranties active.
Palm Beach EIFS on Class A office, country club clubhouses, and high-end Boca Raton condos demands neutral-pH chemistry. We document EIFS-compatibility for the warranty file on every project.
Yes — across Miami, Brickell, Aventura, Coral Gables, Doral, Miami Beach, Sunny Isles, and Edgewater. Same-week scheduling is standard for Miami-Dade EIFS projects.
Yes. We clean EIFS in Fort Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Plantation, Pembroke Pines, and Sunrise. All work uses EIFS-rated neutral-pH chemistry — never chlorine.
Yes — Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, and Jupiter. We document EIFS-compatibility for the Dryvit/Sto/Parex warranty file on every Palm Beach project.
Most South Florida municipalities do not require special permits for FAA Part 107 operations on private commercial property. We handle building-management approvals, COIs, and LAANC airspace clearance before mobilization.
Direct answers for property managers and asset managers responsible for keeping Dryvit, Sto, Parex, and Senergy warranties active.
We don't perform EIFS repair, but we document any failed panels, cracked finish coat, or open joints during the pre-job survey and recommend a qualified EIFS contractor (Dryvit, Sto, or Parex installer) for the repair scope. We then clean once the repairs cure.
On EIFS that's still under warranty, this can void the warranty even without visible damage — the manufacturer can deny future claims based on the cleaning record. We mitigate this by confirming substrate via tap test before chemistry hits the wall and by documenting the EIFS-rated product used. Every cleaning record names the detergent product, concentration, and dwell time.
Yes. We use neutral-pH biodegradable formulations approved for EIFS by Dryvit, Sto, and Parex maintenance specs. We can provide product SDS sheets and EIFS-compatibility statements for your warranty file on request.
No. Soft-wash uses a fraction of the water of pressure washing — typically 30–60 gallons per 1,000 sqft of wall vs 200+ gallons for pressure crews. The biodegradable detergent is rinsed with 0 TDS pure water and diluted further by pre-wetting landscaping below.
Yes. The drone switches between substrate-matched chemistry without remobilizing — EIFS gets neutral-pH detergent, glass gets a different formulation rated for low-E coatings, and aluminum mullions get an anodized-safe detergent. One mobilization, three substrates.
Cleanable, but the chemistry is matched to the paint film, not the underlying EIFS finish. Most exterior coatings used over EIFS in Miami (elastomeric, acrylic) tolerate the same neutral-pH soft-wash. We confirm during the pre-job survey.
Yes, by a wide margin. The ground pump and drone together run roughly 65–70 dB at the base — significantly quieter than a commercial pressure washer (90+ dB) and far quieter than a boom lift engine. This matters for hotel guests, hospital patients, and trading-floor offices.
