From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute roof inspection for St. Lucie County properties.

01

Consultation & Planning

We assess your Port St. Lucie building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and local airspace requirements. A detailed flight plan is created and all FAA authorizations secured.

02

Drone Data Capture

FAA Part 107 certified pilots deploy commercial drones equipped with 50MP cameras to systematically capture your building's exterior surfaces. A typical inspection flight takes 4-8 hours depending on building size.

03

AI Analysis & Engineering Review

Captured imagery is processed through our AI defect detection pipeline, classifying up to 20 defect types with GPS coordinates. A Florida-licensed Professional Engineer reviews the findings and prepares the inspection report.

04

Report Delivery & Action Plan

Your PE-certified report is delivered promptly. It includes high-resolution imagery, AI defect classifications, repair priorities, and cost estimates — everything St. Lucie County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions


How often should South Florida roofs be inspected?

Annually at minimum, with post-storm assessments as needed.

What deliverables come with a South Florida roof inspection?

You receive a georeferenced orthomosaic of the entire roof surface, a thermal overlay identifying moisture intrusion areas, and a condition report with each defect GPS-tagged and categorized. These deliverables support insurance claims and maintenance planning.

Can your drone inspection be used for insurance documentation after a hurricane?

Yes. We provide time-stamped, GPS-tagged imagery that insurance adjusters accept as supporting evidence. Pre-storm baseline inspections are particularly valuable for documenting condition change after an event.

Can drone roof inspection detect active leaks?

Our FLIR thermal sensors detect moisture trapped beneath the roof membrane, which often indicates active or recent leaks. Thermal anomalies are GPS-referenced so roofers can locate the exact area for repair.

What types of roofing systems can you inspect?

We inspect flat TPO/EPDM/PVC membranes, built-up roofing, modified bitumen, standing seam metal, tile, shingle, and hybrid systems. Our AI is trained on defect patterns specific to each system.
