Inspecting roofs with a drone.

admin — Tue, 23 May 2023 18:55:31 +0000

The best way to inspect many types of roofs is with an inspection drone with a camera. Many roofs are too steep to walk on, especially when they are wet or have loose gravel. When I find this to be the case, I will use a camera drone for safety.

Another reason to use a drone is when the roof covering is a product that can crack. Tile, asbestos, slate, and concrete tile roofs can be brittle, and it’s best to stay off of them. The only way I would inspect a slate roof is with a drone.

Drones have very good cameras and can give excellent photos of damaged or torn shingles, vents, and worn shingles.

Simply viewing the roof from a ladder or will not be good enough. I want to be sure to give my clients the best inspection possible. I can do this with an inspection drone. Please call Earley Construction and Home Inspection Services to schedule an inspection. 904-207-0255

Why get a home inspection?

Home Inspections will help you save money by identifying items that should be repaired before you purchase a property.

Even if you are buying a home “as is”, safety concerns and major repairs need to be addressed so that you will know what future expenses to budget for.

At a minimum, you will need a four-point home inspection to be sure the home qualifies for insurance. A four-point inspection will identify the age of components such as the roof, air conditioning system, plumbing, and electrical components and will identify electrical panel boxes that have been recalled.

A general home inspection will identify safety issues with electrical systems, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fireplaces, gas appliances, unsafe stairs, decks, mold and other hazardous conditions.

Major defects will be noted with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, pest damage, foundations, roofing, masonry, siding, attics and insulation, structure, water heaters, doors and windows, walls and ceilings, and detached structures.

The inspection report will include a list of smaller maintenance items that can be addressed at a later date, and a list of items that need to be addressed now. I can also provide repair estimates so you will know what to budget for.

Wind mitigation inspections can help you get a discount on your home insurance rates. I can provide information on how to qualify for wind mitigation discounts during your home inspection.
