Drone Services for Commercial and Residential Buildings

Homebuyer Inspections
Every prospective buyer wants to know exactly what they’re purchasing. Home inspection drone services provide a birds-eye view of various building elements, including roofs, gutters, landscaping, chimneys, and other potentially problematic areas. Professional home inspectors love using residential drone photography because it makes their jobs faster and safer.

Commercial Building Inspections
Aerial inspections and surveys are typically cheaper and quicker than manual inspections. Additionally, commercial property inspections with drones decrease the chances of worker injury and accidents. More and more companies are turning to drone inspections to alleviate risk and speed up construction timelines.

Chimney and Roof Inspections
Manual roof inspections can be dangerous, especially on roofs that are challenging to access, very steep, or extremely high. A drone roof inspection, on the other, is quick and easy. There’s no need for someone to risk their safety climbing up a building to check out the chimney and roof. The drone can take all of the photos and videos that are needed.

Powerline Inspections
Buildings aren’t the only things that require aerial inspections. Many companies are now using commercial drone photography to survey Extra High Voltage (EHV) lines and towers - especially in remote parts of the country. Modern drones can be equipped with ultra HD cameras that make it easy to see exactly what’s happening with these powerlines and towers.

Industrial Equipment Inspections
There are also many drone inspection jobs appearing in industrial areas. Equipment users and manufacturers need drones for fast, efficient inspections - especially on farms or large areas of land where pieces of equipment are spread out. A drone can easily zip to and from different equipment items, assessing their safety and collecting evidence.
