What is drone leak & moisture inspection?

Drone-mounted infrared cameras and high-resolution zoom optics inspect roofs, building facades and cladding from the air — finding moisture, membrane failures, failed sealants and cladding defects at heights that are impractical or unsafe to access by ladder or scaffolding. A single drone survey can cover an entire multi-storey building exterior in a fraction of the time of a ground-based survey, delivering a georeferenced thermal and visual record your engineer or contractor can act on immediately.

How our drone inspection process works

1We plan the flight path to survey all elevations and the roof systematically.
2A thermal camera drone maps the roof for wet insulation; a zoom camera surveys the facade for defects.
3We cross-check thermal anomalies with on-ground moisture meters where accessible.
4Findings are annotated on aerial images and elevation drawings.
5A comprehensive report with thermal imagery and defect register is delivered.

Drone Inspection — frequently asked questions

Can a drone inspect my strata building without scaffolding?

Yes. Drone inspection surveys all exterior elevations and the roof from the air, delivering a documented condition record without any scaffolding, lifts or rope access.

Is drone inspection accurate enough for depreciation reports?

Yes. Our thermal and visual documentation provides the evidence depreciation report engineers need for an accurate envelope condition assessment.

What time of day do you scan?

Roof thermal surveys are best performed after sunset during the thermal window. Facade visual inspections are conducted in good daylight. We confirm scheduling with you in advance.
