Drone Battery ReplacementDrone battery replacement in Second Ward is one of our most common jobs because of the Houston heat. LiPo batteries swell and lose capacity fast in summer. We test cell balance, replace swollen packs, and dispose of old batteries properly. Pilots in Magnolia Park and Denver Harbor use this service most in July and August.View details →
Drone Propeller ReplacementPropeller damage is the number one issue we see after a crash in Second Ward. Bent or cracked props cause vibration and unstable flight.

How we run drone repair in Second Ward
We execute drone repair in Second Ward with a bench-first process. Every unit gets a full diagnostic before we quote. We test motors with a multimeter, check ESCs with an oscilloscope, and inspect gimbals with a gimbal c
High humidity and salt air near the ship channel
Corrosion builds up on motor bearings, ESCs, and antenna connections faster than in drier parts of Houston. Drones that fly regularly near the ship channel need more frequent cleaning and parts inspection.
How we help: We clean every unit with a compressed air blower, inspect for corrosion, and apply protective coating to exposed boards. For Second Ward pilots, we recommend a maintenance check every three months.
Flood-prone streets after heavy rain
Water damage is a real risk in Second Ward, especially in low-lying areas near Buffalo Bayou. A drone that lands in standing water needs immediate attention or the damage becomes permanent.
How we help: We keep water damage repair slots open for emergency drop-offs. If your drone went down in a flooded lot, bring it in the same day. We strip the frame, clean corrosion, and replace damaged ESCs and flight controllers.
Construction dust and debris in gentrifying areas
New construction around EaDo and Eastwood kicks up dust that gets into motors and gimbals. This causes grinding noises, gimbal shake, and sensor errors over time.
How we help: We clean motors and gimbals with a compressed air blower during every repair. For pilots flying near active construction, we recommend propeller balancing and motor inspection every 20 flight hours.
