How it works
The future of exterior maintenance for your property.
At EDS, we use advanced drone technology to deliver safer, faster, and more cost-effective exterior cleaning and inspection services. Whether we’re washing solar panels, softwashing building exteriors, cleaning windows and facades, or conducting roof and gutter inspections, our process is designed for maximum precision, minimal disruption, and superior results.
Below is an overview of how our drone-powered services work from start to finish.
1. Site Assessment
Every project begins with a thorough evaluation of your property.
Our team uses aerial imaging, mapping data, and on-site analysis to:
- Identify the surfaces or assets requiring cleaning or inspection
- Assess height, access limitations, and environmental factors
- Determine the safest and most efficient drone flight paths
- Evaluate any compliance requirements for your location
- This ensures tailored planning, maximum efficiency, and guaranteed safety.
2. Flight Planning & Compliance
Before any drone takes off, we develop a detailed flight plan.
Our operations include:
- CASA-certified drone pilots
- Full insurance coverage
- Adherence to local aviation and building codes
- Real-time monitoring throughout operations
- Emergency override systems for instant control
All routes, altitudes, and cleaning or inspection procedures are mapped in advance to deliver flawless, compliant, and disruption-free service.
3. Drone Deployment & Cleaning/Inspection Process
Depending on the service required, our drones are equipped with specialised systems:
Window Washing
- High-pressure nozzles for streak-free results
- Microfiber rollers (where appropriate)
- Advanced stabilisation for crystal-clear finishes
- Ideal for skyscrapers, glass curtain walls, and architectural facades
Softwashing for Buildings
- Low-pressure delivery systems
- Biodegradable softwash solutions
- Safe removal of mold, algae, and surface contaminants
- Gentle, non-damaging cleaning for roofs, walls, facades, and signage
Solar Panel Cleaning
- Low-pressure spray systems
- Water-efficient and biodegradable cleaning agents
- Precision-controlled application and rinsing
- Minimal physical contact to protect panel integrity
Roof & Gutter Inspections
- 4K photo and video capture
- Thermal scanning available for detecting hidden leaks
- No ladders, scaffolding, or rooftop risk
- Rapid aerial pass for immediate insights
All drone operations are non-invasive, fast, and incredibly precise—eliminating the need for scaffolding, rope access, or heavy machinery.
4. Real-Time Monitoring
Throughout the process, our team:
- Tracks flight data
- Monitors live camera feeds
- Adjusts routes or spray output instantly
- Ensures safe operation around people, structures, and traffic
This ensures unmatched accuracy and complete operational control.
5. Post-Service Inspection & Reporting
Once the cleaning or inspection is complete, we conduct a full review to ensure the highest standards.
For cleaning services you receive:
- Before-and-after footage
- Surface quality checks
- Completion confirmation
- Maintenance recommendations (if needed)
For inspections you receive:
- High-resolution aerial images
- 4K video footage
- Annotated inspection reports
- Thermal imaging reports (optional)
- Insurance-ready documentation
This provides full transparency and verifiable results for your records.
