Lucid Bots Sherpa fleet. Pure-water filtration. FAA Part 107 pilots.
Exactly what we bring to every Miami job, and the six-step process we follow on every building.
What equipment does Exterior Drone Washing use?
We operate a fleet of Lucid Bots Sherpa industrial cleaning drones. Each Sherpa is tethered to a ground-based rig that supplies continuous power and pumps de-ionized pure water (0 TDS) to twin spray nozzles. The drone applies biodegradable soft-wash detergent and rinses with pure water — leaving glass streak-free with no squeegee. All flights are conducted by FAA Part 107 certified pilots.

Our six-step process
The same workflow we run on every commercial building, from a single Brickell tower to a multi-building HOA contract.
1. Site survey & FAA flight plan
We walk the property, check airspace (LAANC if needed), set up a ground exclusion zone, and brief building staff. A safety plan is delivered before mobilization day.
2. Equipment stage & water filtration
Ground rig stages: Sherpa drone, tether reel, high-pressure pump, soft-wash detergent tank, and our portable de-ionization filtration. Water is filtered on-site to 0 TDS before it ever reaches the drone.
3. Soft-wash application
Drone applies low-pressure biodegradable soft-wash detergent across the facade. Dwell time loosens algae, salt haze, pollen, and Florida grime without abrasive scrubbing.
4. Pure-water rinse
Twin nozzles rinse with 0 TDS pure water from top to bottom. Because there are no minerals, glass dries streak-free in the sun — no squeegee, no spotting.
5. Quality check & documentation
Pilot flies a final inspection pass. 4K aerial before/after footage is captured and delivered with the final invoice.
6. Demobilization
Equipment packed, exclusion zone released, building handed back to operations. Most single-tower jobs complete in 1–3 days.
Why this stack?
No rigging
Sherpa eliminates scaffolding, swing stages, boom lifts, and rope access on buildings up to 200+ ft. That's where most of the 30–60% cost savings come from.
Streak-free by design
0 TDS pure water means no mineral residue, no squeegee, and no second pass. Especially critical on south- and west-facing glass in the Florida sun.
Safer for buildings & people
Crews stay on the ground. Soft-wash chemistry is biodegradable and building-safe on coatings, sealants, and landscaping.
