Roofers and insurance adjusters are faced with a very dangerous and time consuming task as they climb on roofs for inspection purposes. Unknown conditions, extreme heat, and inaccessible areas can make it very difficult to complete jobs quickly, which creates a need for a new inspection method. Drones can solve these problems and many more- it is safe, effective, and highly efficient for any roof inspection needs!
The demand for drones in real estate is constantly increasing. Roof inspections are a part of this expanding list because, before any house can sell, the roof must be inspected for damage. Detailed information from the roof can be beneficial in determining the current status of the roof and its expected lifespan, therefore giving a more accurate value of the home.
Solar Panels are becoming increasingly popular in Texas, and Austin specifically, as the benefits of solar gain traction year by year! Traditionally, a company must send an inspector on the roof to determine if solar panels are a viable option. Drones can not only make this process faster and safer, they can also provide a detailed report that can be used for installation, as well as monitoring and maintenance after the panels have been installed.
Another effective use of drone capabilities is for surveys and inspections of towers. Before tower personnel climb the structure, drones can be used to visualize the plan used to maintain or fix the tower. Safety is definitely improved and time is saved, so ultimately less money is invested in the project! On some occasions inspections can be completely performed from the ground, which provides an opportunity to leave some structures functional, as well as essentially reducing the injury risk to zero.
