Our Approach
Sherpa Drone wash system — built for commercial exteriors
Traditional building washing requires lifts, scaffolding, or rope crews. The Sherpa Drone platform eliminates that complexity — adjustable pressure from 300 to 4,500 PSI, tethered for ground-supplied water and solution, and covering 300+ square feet per minute.
300+ sq ft/min
Coverage Rate
300–4,500 PSI
Pressure Range

Flight Time
Soft wash, pressure wash, window cleaning
Payloads
Sherpa Drone Platform
Commercial-grade tethered drone equipped with stabilized wash nozzles. Covers 300+ square feet per minute with adjustable pressure from 300 PSI soft wash to 4,500 PSI high pressure.
Tethered Supply System
Ground-based pump units supply water and cleaning solution through a tether line, so the aircraft carries no tank and keeps a defined operating radius across full building surfaces.
Operator Control Workflow
Operations are flown under FAA Part 107. The pilot in command manages flight paths, wash patterns, and safety monitoring in real time. Structured procedures for every building type and facade material.
Image Capture & Reporting
Onboard cameras document before, during, and after conditions. Timestamped proof packages are delivered digitally within 24 hours of service completion.
