What it is
Insurance Aerial Documentation is one of our core drone leak-detection services. Pre-claim or pre-purchase aerial photo/video documentation. High-resolution evidence with date-stamped GPS metadata. We deploy this for BC property owners, strata councils, facility managers, and insurance adjusters, using the same equipment trusted by major insurers and municipalities across British Columbia.
When you need it
- Mystery leaks on the top floor — Water staining on an upper level of a tall building is almost always coming through the roof or wall envelope above. Aerial thermal pinpoints the entry point.
- Aging flat roof, no recent survey — Most commercial flat roofs need a thermal survey every 5 years to catch wet insulation. Catching it early can save the membrane.
- Wet insulation suspected — Water trapped between membrane and deck won't show inside — but it doubles your heating cost and rots the deck. Thermal imaging finds it instantly.
- Strata depreciation report — BC strata corporations require periodic depreciation reports. Aerial roof imagery + thermal is a far better evidence base than visual-only walks.
- Insurance claim requiring documentation — Insurers love high-resolution aerial evidence. We deliver 4K stills, video, and annotated thermal — perfectly suited for a claim file.
How we do it
Our certified technicians arrive with state-of-the-art equipment: thermal imaging cameras, acoustic correlators, ground-penetrating radar, and tracer gas. Every job starts with a brief on-site assessment, followed by non-invasive testing to pinpoint the source — typically within inches.
You receive a detailed written report including findings, moisture maps, equipment used, and recommendations for next steps. Reports are formatted for insurance claims, strata councils, and engineering review as needed.
