What Is Thermal Drone Inspection?

Thermal (infrared) drone inspection uses high-resolution FLIR cameras mounted on drones to capture temperature variations across surfaces. Hotspots indicate problems like:

• Overheating electrical components or faulty connections.
• Trapped moisture under roofs or in walls (after solar loading).
• Defective solar panels or poor insulation in buildings.
• Leaks, blockages, or inefficiencies in utilities/infrastructure.

This tech revolutionizes inspections for roofs, commercial buildings, solar farms, power lines, and more—delivering actionable data in hours, not days.

Our Thermal Drone Inspection Services

Roof & Building Thermal Inspections

Detect leaks, poor insulation, and moisture damage on flat/commercial roofs without risking safety. Ideal for insurance claims (e.g., post-storm via partners like EBERL Claims), property managers, and HOAs.

Solar Panel & Photovoltaic Inspections

Spot underperforming panels, hotspots, dirt buildup, or electrical faults in solar arrays across PA/MD. Maximize energy output and ROI—annual checks prevent costly downtime.

Utility & Infrastructure Thermal Scans

Inspect power lines, street lights (verification post-replacement), pipelines, bridges, and substations for anomalies. Thermal data helps utilities and engineers prioritize maintenance safely from the ground/air.

Other Applications

• Commercial/industrial facility energy audits.
• Construction progress with thermal overlays.
• Custom projects (e.g., landfill/engineering site monitoring).

All services include: High-res RGB + radiometric thermal imagery. Detailed annotated reports with findings, recommendations, and visuals. Fast turnaround—often same-day prelims.

Benefits of Choosing Mid-Atlantic Drone Services

• Safer & Faster: No climbing or cherry pickers—inspect large/hard-to-reach areas quickly.
• Cost-Effective: Reduce labor, equipment rental, and downtime (clients often save 50%+ vs. manual methods).
• Accurate & Compliant: FAA-certified, insured, precise FLIR data for reliable decisions.
• Proven in the Mid-Atlantic: Serving Chester County base with local knowledge—quick response in PA, NJ, MD, DE.
• Client-Focused: From one-off jobs to recurring contracts—tailored packages for engineers, utilities, roofers, solar installers.

How Our Thermal Inspection Process Works

1. Consultation – Discuss your needs (site details, goals, timeline).
2. Planning & Flight – Schedule safe, compliant drone ops (often dusk/dawn for optimal thermal contrast on roofs).
3. Data Capture – Capture thermal + visual imagery.
4. Analysis & Reporting – Process data, annotate issues, deliver PDF report with maps/images.
5. Follow-Up – Recommendations, Q&A, or additional scans if needed.
