Types of Inspection
The Value of Drones in Roof Inspections
Roof inspections have historically required observations at ground level, from stairs or by physically walking on roofs. This observation concerns not only steep angles, but also large and even inaccessible areas. The time required for this obsolete method is expensive, not to mention the risk of liability. Due to these time requirements and physical limitations, observing every inch of the roof is impossible and the quality of these inspections is very limited.
However, when using drones to take high-quality photos and videos, not only of the roof, but of the entire structure and property, these aerial inspections can be performed in a matter of hours. This allows us to observe the results of field inspections and prepare detailed data analysis in less time and with almost no risk of injury.
Roof Inspection and Scanning
Another great benefit of drone technology is the use of photogrammetry, which is used to create a 3D representation of the roof. Piloting a drone equipped with this capability allows us to produce digital products that offers you the possibility to observe every area as if you were on the rooftop. Previously, the primary method of detecting damage was expensive and inefficient, sometimes requiring demolition of the exterior of a building to obtain an accurate assessment. Using photogrammetric and aerial technology, we can provide an aerial digital perspective of your roof.
How We Inspect Roofs
A drone roof inspection is carried out by piloting a drone equipped with a high-resolution camera in the air and capturing images that are compiled into a detailed aerial map of the inspection site. This method is common for large buildings and properties with many buildings. The result is a highly detailed model of the property and its structure that clearly reveals the condition of each roof and can be used to create accurate repair and replacement plans. The drone can also fly very close to structures, making inspections of intricately designed roofs and hard-to-reach areas such as skylights much more efficient and accurate.
