StratoClean provides drone-based exterior cleaning for government and municipal facilities across Florida — engineered for MS4/NPDES stormwater compliance, with FDOT-certified Maintenance of Traffic self-performed and no workers at height. Municipal buildings, parking structures, campuses, stadiums, and public healthcare.
The two compliance problems exterior cleaning creates — solved
1. Stormwater runoff
Wash water entering a storm drain is an illicit discharge under your MS4 permit. StratoClean job plans are prepared by an FDEP-trained Qualified Stormwater Management Inspector (Florida DEP Stormwater, Erosion & Sedimentation Control Inspector Training Program) — wash-water capture and containment is designed before the first drop is sprayed. Your storm drains stay clean, and so does your permit record.
2. Traffic and pedestrian control
Work near roads and sidewalks needs compliant Maintenance of Traffic. Our team holds FDOT-approved Temporary Traffic Control (TTC): Advanced certification — we design and implement our own closures. One contractor, one contract, no traffic sub.
Why public agencies switch to drone cleaning
No workers at height — the leading injury risk in exterior maintenance is eliminated; the crew stays on the ground. No scaffolding on the right-of-way — minimal public disruption and a compact footprint. Single mobilization — full building heights in hours or days, not weeks of rigging. Biodegradable, surface-safe chemistry — matched to stucco, concrete, glass, metal, and stone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can pressure washing water go into a storm drain?
No — in nearly every Florida municipality, wash water from exterior cleaning is an illicit discharge if it enters a storm drain, because storm systems flow untreated to waterways. Agencies operating under MS4/NPDES permits can face violations and fines for cleaning runoff. StratoClean plans every government job with certified stormwater personnel so wash water is controlled and kept out of the storm system.
What is MS4 compliance in exterior cleaning?
MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permits require municipalities to prevent non-stormwater discharges — including wash water, detergents, and cleaning residue — from entering their storm drains. A contractor who lets cleaning runoff reach a drain puts the agency’s own permit at risk. StratoClean’s job planning is led by an FDEP-trained Qualified Stormwater Management Inspector, so containment is engineered into the work plan, not improvised on site.
Do you handle lane and sidewalk closures (MOT)?
Yes — StratoClean self-performs Maintenance of Traffic. Our team holds FDOT-approved Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) Advanced certification, which covers designing and implementing compliant closures for lanes and sidewalks. One contractor, one contract — no third-party traffic-control sub to coordinate or pay separately.
How does drone cleaning work on government buildings?
An industrial spray drone applies a low-pressure, biodegradable cleaning solution across the full height of the structure and rinses it clean, while the crew stays on the ground. There is no scaffolding on the public right-of-way, no workers suspended at height, and public access is maintained around a compact ground footprint. Most facilities are completed in a single mobilization.
Are you insured for government work?
Yes — StratoClean is fully insured, and certificates of insurance are provided with every proposal. Combined with ground-based operation (no suspended workers), drone cleaning presents one of the lowest-risk profiles available for public-facility exterior maintenance.
What types of public facilities do you clean?
Municipal and county buildings, courthouses, parking structures, public hospitals and healthcare campuses, colleges and schools, stadiums and arenas, water and utility infrastructure, monuments, and transit facilities. If it has an exterior at height, we clean it from the air.
