Drone Roof Surveys: The Smart Way to Inspect Your Roof
Roof inspections have traditionally been challenging, requiring ladders, scaffolding, or cherry pickers to assess a property’s condition. However, drone roof surveys are transforming the way we inspect and maintain roofs, offering a faster, safer, and more cost-effective solution.
At Barris Roofing, we provide professional drone roof survey services, giving homeowners and businesses detailed insights into the condition of their roofs without the hassle of traditional inspections.
Why Choose a Drone Roof Survey?
1. Safety First
Climbing onto a roof for an inspection carries risks, especially for fragile or steeply pitched roofs. Drone surveys eliminate the need for physical access, reducing the chance of accidents and damage to the property.
2. High-Resolution Imaging & Advanced Analytics
Our advanced survey-grade drones, equipped with 4K cameras and thermal imaging, capture every detail of your roof. We utilise DroneDeploy, an industry-leading software, to generate high-resolution 3D models, elevation maps, and thermal overlays, allowing us to detect even the smallest roof defects.
3. Cost-Effective
Traditional roof inspections often require scaffolding or hiring a cherry picker, which can be expensive. A drone survey significantly reduces costs while delivering high-quality results in a fraction of the time.
4. Fast and Efficient
A standard drone roof survey takes less than an hour, with results available within a few days.. Using DroneDeploy’s automated analysis tools, we can quickly identify potential issues, ensuring faster decision-making on necessary repairs.
5. Ideal for Hard-to-Reach Areas
Properties with steep, complex, or fragile roofs benefit greatly from drone surveys, as drones can easily access areas that would otherwise be difficult or unsafe for traditional inspection methods.
