How high can the Aqua Drones reach for cleaning jobs?

Our Aqua Drones can reach up to 25 stories before exceeding the FAA limits of 55lb max payload. Our founder, Jim Goss, uses his decades of elevator experience to develop a solution for much higher elevations, depending on project needs. 

Is Aqua Drone safer than traditional cleaning methods?

Yes, drones eliminate the need for ladders, lifts, Bosun chairs and RDS- Rope Descent Systems reducing risk and increasing efficiency. Our Aqua Drones have the ability to move quickly in and out of areas prone to sudden congestion of vehicles and pedestrians. Our safety conscious crews pay special attention to delineating traffic away from our cleaning zones.

Is the cleaning eco-friendly?

Yes, our cleaning process can use eco-friendly solutions applied safely via drone technology.

What areas does Aqua Drone service?

Aqua Drone has exterior cleaning solutions across all the Western US. 

What experience do you have with building maintenance?

Founded by a 35-year elevator industry veteran and field engineer, Jim Goss, Aqua Drone was built on a deep understanding of vertical environments, structural safety, and mechanical systems. Our background working in high-rise buildings and complex facilities gives us a unique advantage when cleaning hotels, multi-family properties, storage tanks, solar arrays, and commercial façades.

What is Aqua Drone and how does it work

Aqua Drone uses commercial, working drones to perform exterior cleaning without ladders or lifts for safer, faster results. These drones have on-board soap tanks and are tethered to custom built ground equipment with high or low pressure water hoses/pumps. This allows us to use many combinations of water, soap, detergent, chemical, eco friendly products, and spot free rinse.

What property types and surfaces does Aqua Drone service?

We clean windows, building facades, storage tanks, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, solar farms, wind turbines, and residential roofs and solar panels.

Who manufactures the Aqua Drone?

Jim and our manufacturing team work together building our Aqua Drones in house.  They are made in the USA.

Will dirty surfaces get as clean as they would with hand agitation using extension poles?

Aqua Drones can target surface areas, corners and ledges the water fed pole cannot reach. We think of drone cleaning like a touch-free car wash. Although there is no contact, we use the perfect combination of soap, water pressure, and volume to achieve 95% performance, with reduced time, expense, and inconvenience.
