Drone assisted Roof Inspection, we can reduce the possibilities of potential hazards and the cost of the inspection.
Simplify Roof Inspections With Aerial Surveying
The roof of any constructed building decides its life. A withered and aging roof diminishes with the time that reduces the life of a building. The damages that occur on the roof are mainly due to extreme weather conditions, water leakage, and surface cracks. Inspection methods constituents the first step of maintaining and sustaining rooftops for a long time. These inspection methods are performed to assess the condition of the roof to prevent any further damages. It helps one decide an action plan for performing repair works.
Performing conventional inspection methods over large and complex roof structures is difficult and time-consuming work. It involves manual interaction, where personnel assesses the condition of rooftops. For the prevention of emergency repairs, regular roof inspections ensure safety and help take necessary actions to prevent possible failures in the future. But manual inspection methods are laborsome, time-consuming, and a risky task for human life. When employing drones to perform roof inspection tasks, these foreseeable challenges can be overcome. With drone-assisted roof inspection, we can reduce the possibilities of potential hazards and the cost of the inspection.
Why One Needs to Perform a Roof Inspection?
The key purpose of performing roof inspection is to ensure safety and assess its environment but it is also helpful in:
Regular property maintenance: Whether it be a commercial power plant or a residential building, it is important to be aware of the amount of wear and tear a roof has undergone. It is better to look at adverse phenomena with the help of inspection methods that would help prevent any major destruction in the future.
Installation and maintenance of solar panels: With the rising demand for environmentally friendly energy sources, solar energy is one of the in-house energy resources that is accommodated on rooftops. The measurement of rooftop area is one of the major factors determining the number of solar panels. It can be easily measured with the help of aerial data.
Estimation of repair works required: The damage assessment helps us determine the severity of certain irregularities that occur on the rooftop. The repair work of such severe damages can be constraint due to budget. With accurate assessment and severity, we can estimate the repair works to be prioritized.
Evaluating rooftop conditions: For longer and healthy life of rooftop, it is necessary to evaluate its conditions. It is important to locate water leaks, identify air exfiltration, areas that lack insulation is prone to leaking, and pockets of standing waters existing over the rooftop. With aerial photography, they can be easily identified.
