What We Do

Thermal Services

Every inspection is conducted with calibrated FLIR cameras mounted on commercial-grade drones, producing actionable thermal reports.

Building Envelope Inspections

Locate air leaks, insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, and thermal bridging across residential and commercial structures.

Roofing Inspections

Identify trapped moisture, membrane failures, and energy loss across flat, pitched, and metal roofing systems — without foot traffic damage.

Electrical Panel & Equipment

Detect overloaded circuits, failing components, and hot spots in panels, transformers, and mechanical systems before failures occur.

Solar Panel Efficiency

Find underperforming cells, delamination, and bypass diode failures across residential and utility-scale solar arrays.

Agricultural & Land Surveys

Monitor crop stress, irrigation uniformity, livestock heat patterns, and drainage issues across large acreage efficiently.

Infrastructure & Industrial

Inspect bridges, pipelines, towers, and industrial equipment for heat anomalies indicating stress, wear, or safety concerns.

Additional Drone Inspection Services

Not every project requires a thermal roof scan. We also provide aerial documentation and inspection support for contractors, property managers, commercial owners, and insurance-related projects.

Visual Roof Condition Assessments

High-resolution aerial imagery for documenting roof condition, storm concerns, maintenance issues, and hard-to-access areas without walking the roof.

Best for owners, roofers, and property managers

Construction Progress Documentation

Consistent aerial photos, videos, and site-wide updates to help contractors show progress, communicate with stakeholders, and document project milestones.

Best for builders and commercial projects

Aerial Mapping & Orthomosaics

Detailed overhead maps and measurable site imagery for planning, documentation, roof layouts, property records, and large-area visual inspections.

Best for sites, land, and large facilities

Storm & Insurance Documentation

Non-invasive aerial documentation after wind, hail, or severe weather events to support conversations with roofers, contractors, property teams, or insurers.

Documentation only, not public adjusting

Solar Panel Thermal Checks

Thermal and visual imagery to help identify possible hot spots, damaged panels, soiling concerns, or underperforming areas across residential, farm, or commercial arrays.

Best for solar owners and installers

Commercial Property Documentation

Exterior building, roof, lot, and asset documentation for maintenance records, pre-sale condition checks, facility planning, and management reporting.

Best for commercial owners and managers

Have a unique inspection need? If it can be safely documented from the air, we can usually build a practical scope around it.

The Process

How It Works

A streamlined inspection process from booking to final report — typically completed within a few days.

01

Consultation

We discuss your goals, site conditions, and optimal flight windows based on weather and thermal contrast requirements.

02

On-Site Flight

Our FAA-certified pilot flies calibrated thermal drone equipment across your property, capturing full thermal coverage.

03

Analysis

Thermal data is processed and anomalies are identified, classified, and mapped to precise GPS locations.

04

Detailed Report

You receive a full PDF report with annotated thermal imagery and findings summary within 48 hours. All findings are observational and intended to guide further evaluation by a licensed professional.

Applications

Who We Serve

Thermal imaging adds value across nearly every industry that involves structures, equipment, or land.

Residential

Homeowners & Realtors

Pre-purchase inspections, energy audits, and insurance documentation for residential properties of all sizes.

Commercial

Property Managers

Identify energy waste and maintenance issues across commercial buildings, warehouses, and multi-unit properties.

Industrial

Facilities & Manufacturing

Predictive maintenance on equipment, motors, and electrical systems — catching failures before they cause downtime.

Agriculture

Farmers & Producers

Crop health monitoring, irrigation leak detection, and livestock thermal assessments across large rural properties.

Energy

Solar & Utilities

Array performance audits, substation inspections, and transmission line surveys to maximize uptime and efficiency.

Construction

Contractors & Builders

Post-construction thermal verification, warranty inspections, and quality assurance before handoff to clients.
