FAQs
Why should I choose a drone inspection for my roof after a storm in Kingsport?
Drone inspections capture high-resolution images and video of your entire roof in minutes without the need for ladders or walking on potentially unsafe surfaces. This minimizes risk, speeds up the assessment process, and provides a detailed visual record that can be shared with insurance adjusters and contractors.
Is a drone roof inspection legal and safe in Kingsport?
Yes. Our pilots are FAA Part 107–certified and follow all federal and local regulations, including maintaining proper flight altitudes and obtaining any necessary airspace authorizations. Because no one has to climb on your roof, the inspection is safer for both your property and our technicians.
What kinds of storm damage can drones detect on my roof?
High-resolution drone imagery can reveal hail impact marks, missing or lifted shingles, cracked tiles, granule loss, punctures, damaged flashing, and debris buildup. Thermal sensors (when requested) can also detect trapped moisture or hidden leaks beneath the surface layer.
How reliable are drone inspection reports for insurance claims?
Our drones capture time-stamped, geotagged imagery that is processed into detailed reports and annotated maps. These objective visuals meet most insurers’ documentation standards, helping to substantiate your claim and potentially speed up approval for repairs or replacement.
Do I need to be home while the drone inspection is performed?
No. As long as we have access to the property and you grant permission, we can perform the flight while you’re away. We’ll send you a secure link to the photos, videos, and the final assessment report within 24 hours of the inspection.
How quickly can you schedule a drone inspection in Kingsport, and what does it cost?
We offer same-day or next-day appointments for most storm emergencies in the Kingsport area. Standard drone roof inspections start at $199, with pricing adjusted for large or complex roofs and optional thermal imaging. All costs are quoted upfront, and the fee is often reimbursable through homeowner’s insurance when tied to storm damage claims.
