A professional roof inspection is crucial for identifying potential issues with your roof, especially if you suspect leaks. However, not every roofing problem is easily spotted from ground level.
With advancements in technology, roof inspectors like the experts of Shepherd Roofing & Renovations in Dallas-Fort Worth are able to operate at a more sophisticated level and ensure that no roof problem goes unnoticed.
One of the newest tools we have in our arsenal is drone inspection. This is a modern and efficient way to assess your roof without risking personal injury. Our high-resolution drone cameras can quickly zip to the top of your property and capture detailed images of your roof and potential damages.
Let’s take a look at three key benefits of drone inspection and the most common roofing problems we’ve seen our drones uncover.
Drone Inspections Provide a Comprehensive View of Your Roof
Drone roof inspection provides a comprehensive view of your roof, including difficult-to-reach areas such as the ridges, valleys, and eaves.
Our drones fly over your roof and capture images of your entire roof. This gives our roof experts all of the information they’ll need to determine whether you need a minor roof repair or a full roof replacement.
This updated process guarantees no damage goes unfound.
Helps Identify Potential Issues in Early
A drone roof inspection can identify potential issues before they become significant problems.
For instance, if there are missing or damaged shingles, the drones can capture images of these areas, allowing our roofers to determine how they need to be replaced or repaired.
Drone Inspections Save Time and Money
A drone roof inspection is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional roof inspections. It saves time and money because Shepherd Roofing can assess your roof from a safe distance, eliminating the need for scaffolding or other equipment.
This means that inspections can be completed more quickly and accurately, and any necessary repairs can be made promptly, reducing the risk of further damage and associated costs.
What Damages Can Our Drone Inspections Catch?
Equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors, drones can provide detailed aerial views of a roof and identify potential issues. Here are some of the key things drones can spot during a roof inspection.
Damage and Deterioration
One of the biggest advantages of using a drone is being able to get a close look at every inch of the roof.
Drones can identify cracked, missing, or warped shingles that may indicate a roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.
While some of these issues can easily be seen from the ground, drones can quickly identify sneakier issues like peeling patches and sagging gutters.
Leaks and Moisture
If you think your roof has a leak, the last thing you want is someone walking on the roof and injuring themselves in the process.
The aerial view from a drone inspection makes leak detection simple! Our drones can easily spot pooled water or moisture around chimneys, vents, and valley areas that could be an entry point for leaks.
Structural Issues
Drones provide the perfect vantage point to check for problems with the roof decking and structure.
A drone can identify sagging or buckling areas, as well as damaged or missing roof sheathing, all of which could lead to dangerous structural issues in your roof.
Debris and Problem Areas
An aerial overview makes it easy to spot any areas on the roof accumulating debris, like leaves, branches, and other materials.
Our drones can also pinpoint trees or vegetation close to the roof that could cause damage if overhanging branches break off during a heavy Texas storm.
