What we do

Drones play a significant role in structural inspections, and a thermal camera sees what the naked eye can't see.

We deliver close-up images, 2D ortho maps and 3D models of roofs, towers and buildings, then add thermal to find trapped water, heat loss, failing parts and missing people and pets, day or night.

Why fly it

Why owners send us up.

Hover a reason to find it on the site

  1. 01

    Safety

    No lift, no rope team, nobody on the roof edge. Falls cause one in three construction deaths; a drone keeps your people on the ground.

  2. 02

    Roofs & moisture

    Wet roof insulation can lose more than half of its insulating value. Finding it early means patching a section instead of replacing the whole roof.

  3. 03

    Towers & power lines

    Loose connections and failing parts run hot before they fail. We check lines, towers and substations without shutting anything down.

  4. 04

    Time & cost

    Drones inspect faster and skip the rig setups, insurance and liability that come with traditional methods. Findings land in days.

When we fly

Timing is everything.

Thermal reads differences in temperature, so when we fly matters as much as what we fly.

  • After sunset

    Roofs

    A dry, sunny day heats the whole roof. After dark, dry insulation cools off fast while wet insulation holds its heat and shows up warm. That's our window.

  • Midday, full sun

    Solar arrays

    Panels have to be working hard for faults to show, so we wait for strong, steady sunlight. The industry standard asks for at least 600 W/m² on the panels.

  • Cold mornings, hot evenings

    Walls & windows

    Heat leaks show best when inside and outside are far apart. In Georgia, that's a cold winter morning or a hot summer evening with the AC running.

  • Any clear day

    Close-up inspection

    Stills, ortho maps and 3D models just need good light and calm wind.

We fly after dark under the FAA's Part 107 night rules, with anti-collision lights visible for three miles.

Search and rescue

Every minute counts.

When someone goes missing, the search gets harder as the light fades. A thermal drone doesn't slow down after dark. It sweeps open fields, tree lines and the water's edge from above and picks out body heat in seconds.

  • Cover ground fast

    We fly a planned grid over the search area, so nothing gets skipped and ground teams can focus where it counts.

  • See body heat, day or night

    People and pets glow against cool ground, even in thick brush or full darkness.

  • Pinpoint and guide

    Our camera's laser rangefinder marks the exact spot, and the live view helps guide the ground team straight to it.

Featured project

Inspecting the Pinnacle

In 90 seconds the video shows a quick example of the data aerial inspections can provide. All without a lift, a rope team or a road closure. A job that traditionally takes weeks end-to-end can now be done in a matter of days.

Our inspections and thermal gallery is on the way. Ask us for examples from a job like yours.
