When it comes to maintaining commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, roofing issues often go undetected until it’s too late. At Empire Roofing Corporation, we’re raising the bar with advanced Drone Thermal Scanning, a cutting-edge service that helps identify hidden problems before they escalate into costly repairs.
Using high-resolution infrared technology, our thermal drones detect temperature anomalies across your roofing system—pinpointing moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, and areas of potential failure. These inspections are non-invasive, highly accurate, and efficient, especially for large or complex buildings.
Why Use Drone Thermal Imaging?
Traditional roof inspections can miss subtle signs of trouble. With drone-based thermographic surveys, we’re able to:
- Capture elevated temperature variations invisible to the naked eye
- Identify water intrusion trapped beneath roofing membranes
- Locate deteriorating insulation and potential leak paths
- Validate workmanship on new roof installations
- Document thermal performance for LEED credits and energy audits
Our recent drone thermal survey, conducted using the Mavic Enterprise 3T Drone, delivered vivid thermograms and actionable insights. Even minor thermal bridging at a roof access point was identified—something that could easily be overlooked in standard visual inspections.
Fast, Safe & Reliable
Drone thermal scans are ideal for:
- Flat or low-slope commercial roofs
- Industrial sites with restricted access
- Institutional facilities where disruption must be minimized
The process is quick and safe—no ladders or rooftop access required. We conduct surveys under optimal environmental conditions and in accordance with industry standards (including BRE 176 and ISO 13187), ensuring your results are reliable and actionable.
Future-Proof Your Building
By integrating Drone Thermal Scanning into your annual maintenance plan, you gain:
- Early detection of issues before they require expensive remediation
- Long-term cost savings by avoiding emergency roof repairs
- Greater confidence in your building’s performance and compliance
Whether you’re managing a retail plaza, warehouse, or school, Empire Roofing’s thermographic inspections give you the insights you need to make smart, informed decisions.
