Certified Drone & Roof Home Inspections
Drone. Roof Inspections
No Damage
Many roofs shouldn’t be walked on unnecessarily during a home inspection, as this can sometimes lead to potential damage, insurance claims, or even injury.
Prepared
When the roof shouldn’t be walked we come prepared with the latest advancements in drone technology that is compact enough, weighing in at just 249 grams, to avoid causing any harm while delivering breathtaking aerial photography.
Examination
We don't just take pictures; we carefully record our entire flight. This lets us review the footage and get high-quality still images. By examining this footage, we can spot defects or issues that might be missed by just walking on the roof or taking simple photos.
FAA Licensed
Many 2 story or larger homes are designed in such a way that the roof isn’t accessible by normal means and many inspectors will only use binoculars. Here at iCARE Home Inspections we are not only prepared we are also licensed by the FAA to commercially fly drones. So whether you are getting a home inspection, new construction inspection, 4 point inspection, or wind mitigation we are prepared no matter the situation.

Using a drone during a comprehensive home inspection offers an exceptional aerial perspective that is often difficult to achieve through traditional means. Drones can safely and efficiently capture high-resolution images and videos of the roof, gutters, and other hard-to-reach areas without imposing any danger or risk to the home or its occupants. This innovative technology allows skilled inspectors to identify potential issues, such as hidden damage or ongoing maintenance needs, without the heightened risk of injury associated with climbing ladders or cumbersome scaffolding. Furthermore, the non-invasive nature of drone inspections ensures that the structural integrity of the property is maintained while simultaneously providing valuable insights for prospective buyers, ultimately helping them make more informed decisions.
Drone roof inspections provide a modern, efficient way to assess the condition of a roof; however, it is essential to acknowledge certain limitations and disclaimers associated with this technology. While drones offer a comprehensive aerial view, they cannot always capture every detail due to factors like weather conditions, lighting, and the angle of observation. Additionally, the data collected may not be exhaustive, and there could be hidden issues that remain undetected from a drone's perspective. It is important to understand that the information provided through drone inspections should complement, not replace, traditional inspection methods conducted by a certified professional. Moreover, the use of drones is subject to compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and local laws, which may vary by jurisdiction. iCARE Home Inspections ensures that all drone operations are conducted safely and in accordance with these regulations. By choosing a drone roof inspection, clients acknowledge these limitations and accept that no inspection can guarantee complete accuracy in detecting all types of potential roof issues. Property owners are encouraged to follow up with further assessments as necessary.
