Drones with Thermal & High-Res Cameras

Aerial thermal and high-resolution imaging that finds wet insulation and storm damage without anyone stepping on a fragile roof. A drone pass lets us look at an entire slope or commercial deck at once, catching temperature differences that point to trapped moisture long before a soft spot or a stain shows up inside.

What the Imagery Shows

  • Wet Insulation — Thermal contrast reveals areas holding water under the membrane or shingles, even when the surface looks dry.
  • Storm Damage — High-resolution stills document displaced tiles, torn membrane, or hail marks across the whole roof plane.
  • Hard-to-Reach Areas — Steep pitches and tall commercial parapets get examined without a crew walking a roof that may not support foot traffic safely.

How It Fits the Rest of the Inspection

  • Handheld Infrared Cameras — Follow up on any flagged area at ground level or inside the structure to trace how far moisture has traveled.
  • Moisture Meters — Confirm thermal findings with a direct reading through the decking or insulation.
  • Photo Documentation — Time-stamped images from the flight are saved to your file, ready to share with an insurer if needed.
