Drone Pressure Washing Near You

People search for drone pressure washing, but most drone cleaning crews actually soft-wash: low pressure, a cleaning solution, then a rinse. Here is what that means for your building and how to find a crew.

Pressure washing vs what drones usually do

Traditional pressure washing relies on high-pressure water to blast dirt off. Drone crews generally spray a cleaning solution at low pressure, let it work, then rinse. Ask any operator what pressure and solution they will use on your surfaces.

Where higher pressure is used

HomeAdvisor notes that metal roofs can take a controlled high-pressure wash, while porous clay tile can't take pressure washing and wood roofs need low pressure. Ground-level concrete and flatwork are usually handled by a standard pressure washer, not a drone.

Surfaces drone crews commonly clean

  • Building facades and exterior glass above ground level.
  • Roofs that are steep, tall, or fragile.
  • Rooftop solar arrays.

Cost context

Lucid Bots, which makes the Sherpa drone, tells operators that most price drone exterior cleaning at $0.25 to $0.45 per sq ft. For general context, HomeAdvisor lists pressure washing exterior surfaces as a roof-cleaning add-on at $220 to $450. Your price varies by surface, size, height, and access, so get quotes.

How to hire

  • Drone cleaning operators need FAA authorization; chemical spraying may fall under Part 137. Ask your operator for their certifications.
  • Ask for proof of insurance and a written scope.
  • Ask how they protect windows, seals, plants, and cars.
