Roof, Tower & Facade inspections

Our drone-based roof, tower, and facade inspections inspection offers a modern, safe, and efficient way to assess the condition of your asset, capturing detailed information without the need for manual inspection. This allows property owners and managers to identify wear, damage, or structural issues early, enabling preventive maintenance before minor concerns escalate into costly repairs.

Here's what you can expect during the process:

  • Pre-Inspection Consultation: The drone operator will discuss your specific concerns and tailor the inspection plan accordingly.

  • Safety First: The drone operator will prioritize safety by conducting a site walk, identifying potential obstacles, and ensuring compliance with regulations like FAA Part 107 certification requirements in the US.

  • Drone Flight and Data Capture: The drone will follow a predetermined flight path, capturing high-resolution images and videos of the entire roof surface, including hard-to-reach areas and any specific areas of concern.

  • Data Analysis: The collected images and footage are then analyzed by the inspection team using specialized software to identify potential problems like damaged shingles, leaks, or structural weaknesses.

  • Detailed Report: You will receive a comprehensive report outlining the findings, which may include annotated images, videos, and recommendations for necessary repairs or maintenance.

  • Optional Thermal Imaging: Some drone services offer thermal imaging to detect hidden issues like trapped moisture or poor insulation, especially useful for flat and low-sloped commercial roofs.

  • Potential 3D Modeling: Advanced services may provide 3D models of the roof, offering accurate measurements and a detailed representation of the roof's structure. 

Essentially, a drone roof inspection aims to provide you with a comprehensive, visual record of your roof's condition, helping you make informed decisions about its maintenance and any potential repairs.

Deliverables

Based on the inspection, you can expect to receive the following deliverables:

  • High-Resolution Images and Videos: These visuals provide a comprehensive view of the roof's condition, highlighting any damage or potential issues that may need attention.

  • Inspection Report: This report details the findings, including descriptions of identified problems, their location, and recommended actions.

  • Annotated Orthomosaics (Optional): These large, stitched-together images provide a visual representation of the roof, particularly useful for commercial buildings with multiple roofs or large areas.

  • Thermal Imagery (If Applicable): If thermal imaging was used, you'll receive infrared images highlighting areas of heat loss or possible wet insulation.

  • 3D Models (If Applicable): For detailed analysis or planning, a 3D model of your roof may be generated, showing its measurements and structure.
