Using top of the line FLIR VUE and FLIR MSX Thermal imaging mounted within our DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual Drone, we are able to provide the most accurate and technologically advanced thermal Infrared roof inspection service, and we can capture photos and videos crisper, clearer and more detailed than ever before.
A thermal moisture scan on a commercial flat roof is a type of roof inspection that uses thermal imaging to detect and analyze temperature differences on the surface of the roof. During the inspection, the drone detects temperature differences on the roof’s surface and captures high-resolution thermal images, which are then analyzed by a roofing professional.
Thermal inspections can help identify areas of the roof that may be experiencing moisture infiltration or energy loss, which can lead to further damage if left untreated. By detecting temperature differences on the surface of the roof, the inspection can help identify areas that may need repairs or replacement.
Overall, a thermal inspection on a commercial flat roof with a drone equipped with a FLIR camera is an effective way to identify potential issues on the roof and help prevent further damage.

FAQ’s
Why should I get a thermal infrared roof inspection?
Not all damage is visible to the naked eye. An undetected leak could cost you tens of thousands of dollars in roof repairs if undetected. These leaks could also cause higher heating and cooling costs.
Using a drone for thermal inspections offers several benefits over traditional inspections, including increased safety, efficiency, and accuracy. The drone can capture high-resolution images of the roof’s surface from various angles and heights, allowing for a more comprehensive analysis of the roof’s condition.
Why is an independent roof inspection important?
Companies offering roof repair are known to exaggerate the amount of roof repairs needed for your property. Our sole interest is to provide you with a complete and accurate thermal infrared roof report so you can make a decision on what’s best for you and your budget.
Why is an aerial roof analysis better than a handheld roof inspection?
When looking at the photos of your aerial thermal roof report, you will see the entire picture of your property. When done using a standard handheld FLIR camera, pictures are taken at angles and there may be thermal venting issues between the inspector and the roof causing thermal ghosting (or misreadings). When shooting from a drone, there are no angles or slants and no human interference.

Our Services
Commercial & Flat Roof
Flat roofs pose problems different from a typical sloped roof. Our drones detect thermal irregularities caused by past and current moisture from deterioration, tears, cuts, poorly sealed seams, and failed flashing or caps
Multifamily Roofs
With multiple roofs to inspect, our drones will get the job done much quicker than someone climbing up onto the roof or walking around on the ground. Our thorough, detailed reports will simplify collaboration and scheduling of repairs and maintenance.
Residential Roofs
We know most homeowners don’t have the time to take off an entire day of work to get a roof inspection. Our drone roof inspections take less time and provide more accurate reults, which will lead to savings in roof repairs and replacement.
