The Roof: A Critical Component, Inspected with Cutting-Edge Technology
The Roof: A Critical Component, Inspected with Cutting-Edge Technology
The roof is undeniably one of the most crucial elements of a home. However, it's also often one of the most challenging areas to inspect thoroughly during a standard home inspection. Accessibility issues due to height, the risk of damaging roofing materials by walking on them, and the inherent dangers involved can lead to incomplete assessments.
At Cottonwood Home Inspections, we are committed to providing the most complete and comprehensive inspection possible. That's why, weather permitting and with FAA authorization, we utilize drone technology to inspect your roof.
Cottonwood Home Inspections is fully licensed and insured for commercial drone operations in Vermont and New Hampshire. We employ industry-leading drones equipped with sophisticated cameras and advanced safety sensors to capture detailed imagery and video of your roof. This allows us to identify potential issues that might be missed during a traditional visual inspection, providing you with a more thorough and safer evaluation of this vital part of your home.
Our drone roof inspections provide an unparalleled view of this critical structure. By capturing high-resolution imagery and video from all angles, we gain the ability to detect a wide range of potential issues that might be missed by traditional methods. This includes:
Sags and Deflection: Identifying uneven areas that could indicate structural problems.
Damaged Flashing: Locating compromised seals around chimneys, vents, and other roof penetrations.
Deteriorated or Damaged Roofing Materials: Spotting cracked, missing, or worn shingles, seams, or membranes.
Other Defects: Identifying issues like ponding water, debris accumulation, and improper installations.
Our drones also allow us to safely access and closely examine areas that are often difficult or dangerous to reach, such as chimneys, exterior siding on upper levels, windows, and roof flashing details.
While our drone provides a comprehensive aerial perspective, please note that if conditions are safe and allow, our inspectors will also physically access the roof to conduct a closer, hands-on evaluation in conjunction with the drone imagery. This multi-faceted approach ensures the most thorough roof inspection possible.
