Roof Inspection FAQ — Aloha, OR
How does a drone roof inspection work in Aloha?
We fly a drone equipped with high-resolution and optional thermal cameras over your roof in Aloha, capturing detailed imagery of every surface, flashing, and penetration. No ladders, no scaffolding, no risk to personnel.
Can drone roof inspections detect leaks?
Yes. Thermal imaging detects moisture trapped under roofing materials by temperature differentials. This identifies active leaks and areas of concern before they become visible inside the building.
What does a roof inspection report include?
Your report includes high-resolution photos organized by roof section, a condition assessment with annotated problem areas, thermal imagery (if requested), and 3D model data for measurement and documentation. Reports are suitable for insurance claims and maintenance planning.
