Drone Thermal Roof Inspection Across BC
Aerial infrared scanning reveals wet insulation on flat and low-slope roofs — without ladders or lifts
About This Service
Drone-mounted thermal cameras scan a commercial or residential flat roof from directly above, detecting the retained heat signature of saturated insulation. Where a ground-based camera must work from the edge, a drone passes over the entire membrane in minutes, producing a complete heat map of every wet zone. We confirm findings with pinless moisture meters and deliver a labelled aerial report your roofer can use immediately.
When to Request This Inspection
Our Inspection Process
- 1
We confirm survey conditions — an overcast post-sunset window of 30–90 minutes is ideal for thermal contrast.
- 2
A radiometric-thermal drone sweeps the entire roof in overlapping passes at a calibrated altitude.
- 3
Wet insulation retaining heat shows as warm signatures against the cooling dry deck.
- 4
We confirm with handheld pinless moisture meters at flagged zones.
- 5
A geo-referenced thermal map is produced, annotating every wet zone by area and severity.
What You Receive
- Full-roof thermal orthomosaic with wet zones marked
- Area measurements for each saturated section
- Moisture-meter confirmation readings
- Insurance-ready written report with annotated photos
- Repair-priority recommendation by zone

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time for a drone roof scan?
After sunset on a clear or partly cloudy day, when the dry deck cools faster than wet insulation. We confirm survey windows before scheduling.
Does drone scanning replace a physical inspection?
It handles the full-area coverage. We still walk accessible sections and confirm thermal anomalies with moisture meters before reporting any wet zone.
Can you survey a roof in high winds?
Drones have wind limits — we monitor forecasts and reschedule if conditions would compromise safety or thermal quality.
