Drone Leak & Moisture Inspection in Nelson
Aerial thermal imaging for roofs, facades and building envelopes — no scaffolding required — for homes, businesses and stratas across Nelson.
Drone Leak & Moisture Inspection in Nelson, British Columbia
Finding a hidden leak in Nelson shouldn't mean tearing out walls or floors. Our drone leak & moisture inspection locates the source first, so any repair is targeted and minimal. As a division of Anyleak.ca, serving British Columbia since 1999, we bring 27+ years of leak-detection experience to every Nelson property — backed by advanced thermal, acoustic and tracer-gas equipment.
Nelson is part of Thompson-Kootenay, an area of historic Kootenay homes on steep lakeside slopes. Nelson's drier interior climate can actually hide slow leaks for months — without obvious dampness, a supply or irrigation leak may only show up as a rising water bill, which is exactly why instrument-based detection matters here. 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.
Our technicians work throughout Nelson and its neighbourhoods — including Uphill, Fairview, Rosemont, Downtown — providing non-invasive drone inspection that pinpoints the problem without unnecessary damage. Every visit ends with a clear, written report you can use for repairs, insurance or strata records.
Our Nelson drone inspection process
- 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.

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.
