Drone Thermal Imaging

The data and analysis gained from a thermal imaging survey by drone, along with a visual drone condition survey, can provide actionable information about a building’s condition. Defects invisible to the naked eye can present themselves clearly using the infrared image, such as:

  • Moisture entrapment
  • Delamination of roofing elements
  • Water ingress points
  • Concealed defects
  • Air loss
  • Heat loss
  • Saturated material

Why Conduct a Thermal Drone Roof Inspection?

A thermal drone inspection offers speed and efficiency as well as a unique perspective.

Drones can quickly survey very large roof surfaces. Speed and efficiency directly translate to cost savings for a given inspection.


Thermal inspections by drone keep people off of roofs and reduce the risk of injuries related to falls. The cost of a roof inspection by drone will pay for itself 100’s of times over when compared to a catastrophic and potentially libellous workplace accident.


Infrared inspections using a drone can also be combined with energy loss assessments for a given building envelope and help a company reduce energy costs and lower carbon emissions
