Traditionally, even the most knowledgeable home inspector was limited to evaluating parts of the property they could reach. If the roof was steep or a chimney too difficult to access, many had to either take the risk or make an educated guess about the condition of the property. Fortunately, modern technology allows professionals to conduct drone inspections, which have special benefits that traditional methods lack.

5 Advantages of Drone Inspections

1. Added Safety

2. Faster Turnaround Times

Examining your rain gutters, angles of your roof, and other difficult-to-reach parts of your home can take hours, especially if the inspector has to climb up and down a ladder. Drones dramatically reduce the time required to conduct a thorough inspection without sacrificing quality.

3. Limiting Damage

Ceramic tiles, wood shingles, and other roofing materials are often fragile and can be accidentally damaged no matter how careful the inspector might be. Drone inspections don’t require any contact with your house, eliminating the risk of inadvertent damage.

4. Seeing Property Lines

The view from above can provide insight into your property lines and the condition of your home. Comparing aerial photos to boundary surveys can tell you whether a neighbor’s fence is encroaching on your property or if a planned addition is to close to the boundary.

5. More Thorough Inspections

On most houses, there are bound to be areas the inspector can’t easily reach, like the top of a chimney or the soffits under the eaves. A drone inspection gives them unrestricted access, giving you even more information than you’d get if they climbed up to the roof themselves.
