Real Physics, Not Guesswork

A thermal camera reads temperature. That's enough to find what's hidden.

Every surface gives off infrared radiation based on its temperature. Where insulation is missing or thin, heat moves through a ceiling or wall faster than the surrounding insulated areas — a clear, mappable contrast on a radiometric thermal image. Roof moisture works on a related but different principle: wet material holds heat longer than dry material after sunset, so a nighttime flight reveals trapped moisture as a lingering warm patch on an otherwise cooling roof.

A drone changes what that scan can cover. Instead of a handheld camera working room by room, we capture the entire roofline, attic exterior, or commercial roof surface from a consistent standoff angle in a single flight — full coverage, no missed sections, no one walking a steep or wet roof to get the data.

We're a dedicated thermal drone inspection service — not a general drone photography company that also does thermal on the side.

Why a drone, not a ladder

Full coverage, safely, without walking the roof.

Safer than a walked inspection

No one has to climb a ladder, walk a steep pitch, or step onto a fragile or wet membrane roof to get complete data.

Complete, consistent coverage

A single flight captures the entire roofline or roof surface from a consistent angle — no missed sections, no distortion from an oblique handheld angle.

Interpreted, not just photographed

Every flagged area is reviewed by a trained analyst who distinguishes a genuine insulation gap or moisture zone from sun exposure, fixtures, or other anomalies.

Coverage

FAA Part 107 certified pilots, dispatched nationwide.

We're not a local shop with one drone and a service radius. We coordinate certified pilots across the country, so whether you're a homeowner in one state or a property manager overseeing buildings in five, you get the same methodology and the same report format everywhere.

Questions

Thermal drone inspection FAQs

A radiometric thermal camera measures surface temperature, not what's inside a wall. Where insulation is missing, thin, or compressed, heat moves through that section of ceiling or roof faster than the surrounding insulated areas — showing up as a clear, mappable temperature contrast on the thermal image.

Wet roofing material holds heat longer than dry material after sunset. A moisture survey is flown a few hours after dark, once dry sections have cooled but saturated areas are still holding residual heat — that's the window where the contrast is clearest.

It depends on property size, roof type, and location — residential scans are typically priced per inspection, while commercial and portfolio work is often scoped by roof square footage. See our pricing page for typical ranges, or request an inspection for a firm quote.

We dispatch FAA Part 107 certified drone pilots nationwide. Tell us your location when you request an inspection and we'll confirm scheduling for your area.

No — it's a focused, specialized add-on for roof, envelope, and insulation issues, commonly used alongside a standard general home inspection, not in place of one.

A dated, GPS-tagged report can serve as independent documentation you or your contractor submit as part of your own claims process. We're an inspection service — we don't file claims or represent any insurance carrier.
