Common drone leak issues in Hope
- 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.
