The skilled roofing professionals at C&M Construction and Roofing in Denver stay on the cutting edge of evaluation technologies to serve customers effectively. An emerging industry tool is drone-enabled roof inspections, allowing 360-degree aerial views for comprehensive troubleshooting impossible through conventional means.
This in-depth article explains drones’ diverse benefits C&M now employs seasonally or for insurance claims assistance. Whether on residential or commercial sites, drones pick up anomalies visible from above like displaced flashing, cracked vent boots, or subtle sagging indicating structural risks below. It’s the first line of defense finding issues early.
Regulatory Compliance
C&M underwent FAA Part 107 licensing ensuring flights adhere to safety guidelines around airports, crowds, and line of sight. Drones only operate within a visual line of operators holding private pilot licenses with passed aeronautical knowledge exams.
Aerial Imagery
High-definition cameras capture overview photos pinpointing areas flagged for closer ground examination. Infrared sensors detect thermal irregularities signaling air leaks or moisture ingress invisible otherwise. Year-over-year scans reveal changes over time.
360° Inspections
Tiltable gimbal cameras provide panoramic views eliminating inspection blind spots from eaves or behind equipment obstructions. Vantage points find problems conventional means would miss through roof cavities or vent shafts in commercial buildings.
Steep Sloped Roofs
Where climbing steeply pitched residential rooftops poses slip hazards, drones safely hover just feet overhead for closeup thermal and visible light scans inspectors validate on-site. Fall protection concerns vanish, prioritizing safety year-round.
Post-Storm Assessments
By air or from the ground, drones rapidly scan whole neighborhoods after hail or wind events identifying roofs requiring C&M’s skilled reconstruction services. They expedite post-storm claims processing when speed means avoiding further water infiltration between incidents.
Integration benefits go beyond inspections alone. By linking scans with C&M’s project management software, photo databases pinpoint repairs scheduled and aid return visits ensuring all addressed areas remain secure. Continual roof system monitoring optimized by drones brings added peace of mind wherever C&M serves the community.
C&M remains devoted to using cutting-edge tools assisting their licensed professionals to most thoroughly protect clients’ roofing investments with the latest safety and evaluation standards. Drones streamline processes facilitating roofs maintained to manufacturers’ warranted lifespans.
