Roof inspections using drones are becoming increasingly popular. Depending on the height and shape of the building, drone technology can not only make many jobs safer, but also significantly faster and more convenient. Roof inspections using drone technology enable precise and efficient inspection of roofs to quickly identify potential damage.
Applications of drones in roof inspection
Drones can be used for roof inspections on a wide variety of buildings. Due to their high flight altitudes and good stability during flight, drones can be used not only on single-family and multi-family homes, but are also used on historic buildings and churches to inspect their roofs and carry out the necessary inspections. The taller a building and the more complex the roof structure, the more profitable the use of drones becomes. Therefore, both private individuals and companies are increasingly turning to roof inspections using drones, as they allow the desired inspections to be carried out cost-effectively and, above all, quickly.
Why use a drone at all?
Naturally, many customers ask why they even resort to the help of drones when roof inspections have been carried out without these tools for decades. A legitimate question, but one that is very easy to answer. A roof inspection using a drone requires significantly less personnel and involves significantly fewer risks, making it much more cost-effective for both the company and the customer. A roof inspection by a specialist on-site often involves enormous effort. For small single-family homes, this effort may seem moderate, as, for example, the access to the roof and the safety of the workers seem straightforward, but for apartment buildings and other buildings, the effort increases enormously. Therefore, roof inspection using drones is becoming increasingly popular and is now one of the common methods used by carpenters and roofers to carry out a comprehensive inspection of roofs and structures safely.
The costs at a glance
Unfortunately, the cost of a roof inspection using a drone cannot be precisely quantified. It depends on many different factors that can influence the price depending on the amount of work involved. The location of the property, as well as its size and height, play an important role. The shape of the roof and various roof structures must also be taken into account when calculating costs. Therefore, a flat-rate estimate is neither possible nor reliable.
The advantages of using drones
Drone roof inspection offers an efficient and safe method for inspecting roofs, both for residential and commercial buildings. It is used for early detection of damage, condition assessment, and planning maintenance or repair measures.
- Time and cost efficient: Reduces time and costs compared to traditional inspection methods such as manual walkthroughs or the use of aerial work platforms.
- Security: Eliminates the risk for inspectors who must climb roofs or reach dangerous heights.
- Detailed pictures and videos: High-resolution cameras on board the drones provide detailed images and videos that enable a precise analysis of the roof condition.
- Accessibility: Enables inspection of hard-to-reach areas such as roof ridges, chimney shafts or gutters.
- Documentation: Provides comprehensive documentation of the inspection process, including identification of damage and potential risks.
