Using Drones for Thermal Roof Inspections and Water Ingress Assessment

In this presentation we look closely at a building and examine the roof using both RBG and thermal images. Time Tags: Old Roof Verse New Thermal 02:08 Insulation deficiencies 05:09 Gas leaks 05:27 Conclusions 6:57

We happened to get a building where the torch on roof was half installed for a comparative analysis. Capturing both video, thermal and RGB, we were able to see higher thermal loads on parts of the old roof where water ingress was apparent. On the newly installed flat roof, there was no indication of thermal load in comparison to the faulty section.
This project shows the great benefit thermal drones can offer building owners, strata corporations, building/maintenance managers and others looking to asses roof performance and integrity. In addition to the thermal details, we have 48MP still footage to assess for obvious defects visually.
While these reports and inspections do not replace a conventional inspection, they can help determine the scope of the defect, and diagnose a problem before it escalates.
The certified drone equipment we use for these commercial operations are ONLY professional grade. We do not use "off the shelf" hobby consumer grade drones or the like as these have limitations which can compromise safety and security.

Great video

[@Leon-pb5cr]

Very informative video. Thanks.

[@SkyLensStudios]

Amazing work, great video

[@bartpatterson2769]

Great video David! I'm interested in providing this type of service as well.

[@zwiftfrance]

Nice. New in that activities, I own a M2EA as well. Would like to learn more from you. Rgds.

[@flipkoofx1137]

Great video! I’m looking into starting a commercial drone inspection business. For this type of job do you reach out to the property manager to get the job?

[@aaronschmidt7127]

What certifications do you have to perform/analyze thermal imaging? How often do you have your thermal camera certified/calibrated? What drone licensing do you need for this?

[@VictoriaAerial]

Advanced TC certification.

[@Iceking007]

Why does the emissivity indicate water penetration? Could this also just not indicate poor insulation with a sealed water tight membrane?

[@VictoriaAerial]

Like bottled water, water holds heat efficiently after sundown.

[@jeffcoffey5442]

Can you explain what you mean by drone inspections being "non evasive" do you mean "non invasive"?

[@VictoriaAerial]

It is not deceptive. It works... but invasive is the thrust. The roof is not subject to more damage by stepping on the structure.

[@thetilo8682]

interesting video! But the "pilot" jumpsuit is killing me!! 🤣😆 Please don't do this - it just looks silly!

[@VictoriaAerial]

I don't wear it often... but why not? UAV pilots wear them. What do you suggest... jeans and T shirt? It is a flight suit.

[@citizenphaid1880]

Oh come on. You don’t need thermals to see that the roof is pooling with water in the spots you say the thermal camera is picking up emissivity 😂

[@VictoriaAerial]

Oh come on😊 ? It is under the membrane that the water leaking and detected/hiding, not the visible pooling. That is the least of the worry. It detects what you cannot see. It is an addition tool and technology to help, not a silver bullet.
