The Future of Home Inspections: How Drone Technology is Elevating Rooftop Inspections

At EGA Inspection, we’re always looking for ways to improve our service and ensure every  inch of a home is thoroughly inspected—even the highest, hardest-to-reach spots! That’s  where drones come in. Rooftop inspections can be challenging, especially when the roof is  too steep, wet, or otherwise unsafe for our inspectors to access directly. With drone  technology, we’re able to capture clear, detailed images of the roof without compromising  safety, ensuring you get the most accurate assessment possible. 

Why Roof Inspections Matter 

The roof is one of the most critical components of any home. It protects the structure from  the elements, helps regulate indoor temperatures, and keeps you safe and dry.  Unfortunately, it’s also prone to issues like leaks, missing shingles, and damaged  flashing—problems that, if left undetected, can lead to costly repairs or even structural  damage. 

Traditionally, roof inspections have required inspectors to physically climb onto the roof.  But what happens when that’s not possible? Enter drone inspections. 

How EGA Inspection Uses Drones for Roofing Assessments 

When we can’t safely access a roof during a home inspection, we bring in our drones.  Equipped with high-definition cameras, these drones allow us to capture detailed photos  and videos of the roof from various angles. Our inspectors can then examine these images  for any signs of damage or wear, such as: 

• Missing, cracked, or curled shingles 
• Damaged or improperly installed flashing
• Standing water or drainage issues 
• Gutter and downspout blockages 
• Chimney and vent issues 

By using drones, we can conduct a comprehensive rooftop inspection without risking injury  or missing any potential problems. It’s a win-win for both safety and quality! 

Why Drones Are a Game-Changer for Home Inspections 

1. Enhanced Safety 

• Some roofs are simply unsafe to access, whether due to steep angles, wet conditions,  or structural instability. Using drones eliminates the need for inspectors to put themselves  at risk, while still ensuring every area is inspected. 

2. Clear, Detailed Imaging 

• Our drones capture high-resolution images and videos, so we can examine every detail  up close. This technology allows us to zoom in on potential problem areas and assess the  roof’s condition with incredible clarity. 

3. Access to Hard-to-Reach Areas 

• With a drone, we can easily inspect hard-to-reach areas that would otherwise require  specialized equipment or lengthy setup. This means quicker, more efficient inspections  without sacrificing quality. 

4. Faster Reporting 

• Drones allow us to complete the inspection process faster, meaning we can deliver our  findings to you more quickly. This is especially beneficial in real estate transactions, where  time is often of the essence.

What You Can Expect from an EGA Drone Inspection 

When you choose EGA Inspection, you can rest assured that we’re using the latest tools  and technology to give you the most accurate and comprehensive inspection possible. If  your roof is accessible and safe, our skilled inspectors will examine it in person. If not,  we’ll deploy our drone to get the job done. Either way, you’ll receive a detailed report that  covers every aspect of your roof’s condition.
