Overview
Aerial Insights LLC provides aerial thermal roof inspections to support roofing contractors, restoration teams, property managers, and insurance workflows.
Thermal scans are used to identify suspected moisture intrusion, insulation anomalies, and thermal inconsistencies that may not be visible during standard visual inspections—helping teams prioritize investigation and documentation.
The Challenge
Roof inspections often require:
- Physical access that increases safety risk
- Time-consuming manual walkthroughs
- Limited visibility of subsurface moisture conditions
- Clear documentation for insurance, warranty, or maintenance planning
Many stakeholders need credible, repeatable visual evidence to guide next steps—not assumptions or guesswork.
The Solution
Aerial Insights deployed an aerial thermal imaging workflow paired with RGB reference imagery to capture roof-wide thermal patterns efficiently and safely.
Thermal data was collected under appropriate environmental conditions and reviewed alongside visual imagery to support interpretation and reporting.
Inspection Workflow
To support consistent and defensible results, we utilized:
- Radiometric thermal imaging for temperature variation analysis
- High-resolution RGB imagery for visual context and annotation
- Structured flight planning to ensure full roof coverage
- Post-processing and annotation to highlight areas of interest
Thermal findings are presented as indicators, not conclusions, and are intended to guide further investigation where appropriate.
Thermal imaging identifies temperature differentials consistent with potential moisture intrusion. Results are not a substitute for invasive testing or licensed roofing evaluations.
Deliverables Provided
Typical deliverables for roofing thermal projects include:
- Annotated thermal imagery (PDF & image formats)
- RGB reference images aligned to thermal findings
- Area-of-interest markings for follow-up inspection
- Client-ready summary reports
- Files suitable for insurance adjusters, warranty claims, and maintenance records
Best Fit For
- Commercial roofing contractors
- Restoration and mitigation firms
- Property managers and facility owners
- Insurance documentation and claim support
- Preventative maintenance programs
Outcome
By using aerial thermal inspections, project teams gained:
- Safer inspections with reduced roof access
- Faster identification of potential problem areas
- Clear visual documentation for decision-making
- Improved communication between contractors, clients, and adjusters
Thermal data helped focus resources on where to investigate, rather than inspecting entire roofs blindly.
