The Inspection Process

Click each step to understand how we capture and document your building's exterior

πŸ“‹

Pre-Flight Planning

We study the structure's drawings and photos to design a flight path that captures every elevation at optimal resolution. Typically 2–5 cm/pixel ground resolution is achieved at close range, revealing cracks as thin as 1–2mm in the processed imagery.

What We Detect & Document

⚑

Structural Cracks

Hairline to wide cracks in concrete, masonry, or stone. Width can be measured to 0.1mm from high-resolution imagery.

πŸ’§

Water Infiltration Signs

Staining, efflorescence, and biological growth patterns that indicate water ingress paths β€” invisible from street level.

πŸ”©

Spalling Concrete

Delaminating or missing concrete chunks β€” particularly critical on bridge soffits, parking decks, and post-tensioned structures.

πŸ—οΈ

Cladding & Panel Issues

Missing fixings, panel displacement, open joints, and sealant failure on glass curtainwall, metal panel, and stone cladding systems.

🌑️

Thermal Anomalies

With our thermal camera attachment, we identify moisture trapped in walls, EIFS delamination, and thermal bridging invisible to the naked eye.

πŸ”§

Joint & Sealant Failure

Failed expansion joints, open control joints, and deteriorated window perimeter sealant β€” primary entry points for water.

Building facade inspection

2–5 cm/pixel Resolution

Cracks as thin as 1–2mm are visible in processed drone imagery β€” at every floor level.
