Drone Building Facade & Envelope Inspection Across BC
Close-up aerial inspection of cladding, windows and flashing without scaffolding
About This Service
High-rise and mid-rise facades develop cracks, failed sealants and water-entry points that are costly and dangerous to inspect from scaffolding. A drone with a high-resolution zoom camera and thermal sensor inspects every elevation at close range, identifying cladding defects, failed perimeter sealants, window leaks, and moisture behind the cladding — all without mobilising lifts or blocking sidewalks.

Frequently asked questions
Can a drone get close enough to see sealant failures?
Yes. Modern professional drones carry cameras that resolve cracks and failed sealants at close range, and we fly them safely adjacent to the facade.
Is this useful for wood-frame buildings?
Absolutely — wood-frame mid-rise buildings with EIFS or fibre-cement cladding are especially prone to envelope failures, and aerial thermal scanning finds moisture before it causes rot.
Do you coordinate with strata property managers?
Yes. We work directly with property managers and provide reports formatted for strata council meetings and depreciation-report engineers.
