Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Drones are incredibly versatile and can easily navigate and inspect all types of roofs, including flat roofs and those with complex structures. Their ability to reach hard-to-access areas makes them ideal for comprehensive roof assessments.
The duration of a drone inspection depends on the size and complexity of your roof, but typically, it’s faster than traditional methods. Most residential inspections can be completed within a couple of hours, with commercial inspections taking slightly longer.
We recommend scheduling a drone roof inspection at least once a year or after significant weather events. Regular inspections help catch potential issues early, preventing costly repairs and extending the life of your roof.
Preparing your property for a drone inspection is straightforward. Ensure that the area around your property is clear of obstacles such as tall trees, power lines, or antennas that might interfere with the drone’s flight. If you have pets or children, it’s best to keep them indoors during the inspection for safety reasons. Our team will take care of the rest, ensuring the drone can safely and effectively capture the necessary data.
While drones are highly versatile, certain weather conditions can affect the ability to conduct an inspection. High winds, heavy rain, or snow can interfere with the drone’s flight stability and the quality of the images captured. For this reason, we carefully monitor weather conditions and will reschedule the inspection if necessary to ensure optimal results. We’ll work with you to find the best time for the inspection.
Drone inspections are capable of detecting a wide range of roof issues, including but not limited to:
  • Cracked or Missing Shingles: Visible damage to the roofing material.
  • Leaks and Water Damage: Signs of water intrusion, such as stains or mold.
  • Structural Weaknesses: Sagging or uneven areas that may indicate underlying problems.
  • Gutter Blockages: Debris buildup that can lead to water pooling and roof damage.
  • Thermal Anomalies: With thermal imaging, we can detect areas of heat loss, insulation deficiencies, and moisture accumulation.
By identifying these issues early, you can take proactive steps to maintain your roof’s integrity and avoid costly repairs.
Regular drone inspections are a key component of preventative roof maintenance. By conducting routine inspections, we can identify potential problems before they become serious issues. This proactive approach allows you to address minor repairs early, extending the lifespan of your roof and preventing more significant damage down the line. Consistent monitoring through drone inspections ensures that your roof remains in optimal condition year after year.
