Drone Thermal Inspections
Drone thermal inspections that reveal hidden problems before they become expensive.
Using professional-grade infrared drones, we help building owners, contractors, and facility managers identify heat loss, moisture intrusion, electrical issues, and other system inefficiencies.
Thermal imaging reveals how a building or system is actually performing.
Drone thermal imaging uses infrared sensors to detect surface temperature differences that are invisible to the naked eye. These temperature variations can indicate underlying conditions such as trapped moisture, insulation deficiencies, electrical resistance, and mechanical inefficiencies.
By mounting thermal cameras on drones, large or difficult-to-access areas—such as roofs, building envelopes, solar arrays, and mechanical systems—can be inspected quickly, safely, and without disrupting operations. This allows for full-surface coverage rather than limited spot checks.
Thermal imaging doesn’t diagnose problems on its own—it reveals patterns and anomalies that point to areas of concern. When captured under the right conditions and interpreted correctly, thermal data provides valuable insight into how a structure or system is performing.
What Thermal Imaging Can and Cannot Do
✔ Surface temperature differences
✔ Areas of heat loss or insulation gaps
✔ Patterns consistent with moisture intrusion
✔ Electrical hot spots and abnormal resistance
✔ Mechanical or HVAC inefficiencies
✔ Underperforming solar panels
What Thermal Imaging Can Reveal
✖ See through walls or roofing materials
✖ Confirm the exact cause of an issue
✖ Measure moisture content directly
✖ Replace physical inspection or testing
✖ Produce reliable results in poor conditions
What Thermal Imaging Cannot Do
Why Use Drones for Thermal Inspections
Traditional thermal inspections often rely on limited access or spot checks. Drone-based thermal inspections allow full-surface data to be captured quickly, safely, and without disrupting operations.
By using drones, large roofs, building envelopes, and hard-to-reach systems can be inspected without walking surfaces or deploying lifts. This provides more complete coverage, reduces safety risks, and allows inspections to be repeated consistently over time.
For building owners, contractors, and facility managers, drone thermal inspections offer a faster, safer, and more comprehensive way to identify potential issues before they escalate.

How It Works
📅 1. Schedule the inspection
Tell us about the site, scope, and goals. We’ll confirm timing and conditions.
🚁 2. Capture thermal data
We perform a drone-based thermal inspection under appropriate conditions to ensure reliable results.
🔍 3. Analyze findings
Thermal imagery is reviewed to identify anomalies, patterns, and areas of concern.
📄 4. Deliver clear results
You receive documented findings to support maintenance, repair, or further investigation.
