House Inspection With Drones

A safe, accurate and cost-effective way of checking the condition of rooftop. Unfortunately, drones can only be flown in certain weather conditions. As such, your inspection may be rescheduled if storms or high winds are forecast.

Why Should You Inspect House with Drones

Regular and preventative maintenance and repair work can save you a lot of time and trouble in the long term. Minor and major damage can be repaired before it becomes a larger problem.

Now with drones, the inspection process has become a lot simpler and more efficient. It reduces the risk of on-site injuries, as you can now capture specific defects and damages on the rooftop and building from multiple angles both up close and a safe distance.

What kind of defects can I expect to see?

Drone inspections are designed to provide a visual check of the condition of a rooftop. With the use of a 4K High-Definition drone many rooftop defects can be identified that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.

With a drone inspection, you can expect to find various defects such as:

• Weather damage
• Rust
• Corrosion and warping
• Faulty or blocked gutters
• Cracked tiles
• Major holes

What isn’t checked during the inspection?

Like a building and pest inspection, a drone inspection is a visual inspection of the condition of a rooftop. As such, it does not inspect the working condition of equipment or other appliances on the roof. For example, the inspection can identify visible external damage to a solar panel, but it cannot tell you whether there is any internal damage.

The following items are not checked during a drone inspection as they are not within the drone pilot’s or building inspector’s area of expertise:

• Air conditioning units
• Skylights
• Solar panels
• Satellites or other tv ariels
• CCTV cameras

If you do require any of the above items checked, it is recommended that you hire a relevant tradesperson such as a solar panel specialist or electrician.
