Local Drone Ordinances:

Springfield requires a business license for commercial drone operations. Willamalane Park and Recreation District requires a permit for commercial drone takeoff and landing in district parks, including Island Park, Willamalane Park, and Dorris Ranch. The city prohibits drone operations that endanger public safety or violate privacy under Springfield Municipal Code 5.010. Parts of west Springfield are within EUG Class D airspace requiring LAANC authorization. Oregon state law (ORS 837.300-.340) governs privacy protections and surveillance restrictions statewide.

The Willamette Greenway Trail is heavily used on both sides. Maintain visual line of sight and avoid flying directly over people on the river or trail.

Roof Inspection FAQ — Springfield, OR

How does a drone roof inspection work in Springfield?

We fly a drone equipped with high-resolution and optional thermal cameras over your roof in Springfield, 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.
