See the moisture before it becomes a leak.
Drone thermal roof scans, inspections, and aerial documentation that find trapped moisture and failing areas early, so you repair the right spots instead of tearing off the whole roof.
Thermal Moisture
Find wet insulation
Documented
Clear, honest reporting
Drone-Based
No tear-off to inspect
Fast
On a roof within a week
A commercial roof rarely fails all at once. Trapped moisture spreads under the membrane long before it shows up as a ceiling stain. A drone thermal scan reveals the wet areas while they are still small, giving you the data to target repairs, defend a warranty claim, or scope a reroof accurately, instead of guessing or replacing more than you need to.
BUILT FOR YOU
What we capture for roofing
Drone thermal moisture scans
Infrared scanning after sunset reveals trapped moisture and wet insulation across the whole roof, mapped so you know exactly where to cut.
Aerial roof inspections
High-resolution visual documentation of membrane condition, flashing, penetrations, and storm damage, no lift or fall hazard required.
Roof reports & measurements
Clear findings, annotated imagery, and accurate roof measurements you can hand to an owner, an adjuster, or your crew.
THERMAL PLUS VISUAL
The full picture of the roof, in one flight
We pair a radiometric thermal scan with high-resolution visual imagery, so you see both the hidden moisture and the surface condition in the same trip. It is the kind of whole-roof data that ground inspections and a single ladder shot simply cannot give you, and it is the wedge a terrestrial-only scanning shop cannot match.
HOW IT WORKS
How scan-to-BIM works for your design
We confirm the roof, access, and goals, then schedule the scan for after a warm, sunny, low-wind day so the thermal data is valid.
Scope & schedule
We fly a radiometric thermal sensor plus high-resolution visual cameras across the entire roof, no one on the membrane.
Capture after sunset
We map the thermal anomalies, correlate them with the visual imagery, and mark the suspected moisture areas.
Process & analyze
You get a marked moisture map, annotated imagery, measurements, and plain-language recommendations.
Deliver findings
DELIVERABLES
What you'll receive
Whole-roof moisture map
Thermal imagery showing where trapped moisture and wet insulation are, across the entire roof.
Marked anomaly locations
Suspected wet areas pinpointed so your crew cuts in the right spots.
Plain-language findings
Clear recommendations, not jargon, on what to address and how urgent it is.
High-resolution visual imagery
Membrane, flashing, penetrations, and storm damage documented in detail.
Accurate roof measurements
Square footage and dimensions for scoping repairs or a reroof.
Claim-ready documentation
Imagery and findings suitable for owners, adjusters, and warranty claims.
WHY BUILDING CAPTURE
Fast, accurate, and easy to work with
Speed you can build around
We move fast, often on site within a week, sometimes the same day for urgent work. Speed is what we are built on.
Drone plus ground
Aerial, exterior, interior, and rooftop in one visit. Most firms only do one. We capture the whole building.
Local & insured
Part 107 certified, fully insured with COI on request, based in southwest Michigan and serving the region and nationwide.
Common questions
After a sunny day, a roof with trapped moisture holds heat differently than dry areas. We fly a radiometric thermal sensor after sunset and capture that difference, mapping wet insulation across the entire roof in a single visit.
No. That is the point. Thermal scanning shows where the moisture is before any tear-off, so you repair only the affected areas and avoid replacing good roof.
Yes. You get annotated imagery and clear findings suitable for owners, warranty claims, and insurance, with roof measurements if you need them.
Home base is southwest Michigan, serving Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Battle Creek, Detroit, Chicago, and nationwide for larger jobs.
At night, after a sunny, dry, low-wind day. The roof needs to have absorbed heat during the day so wet areas show up against dry ones after sunset.
Wind, recent rain, heavy cloud cover, and standing water. We watch the forecast and schedule the scan for a valid window.
