Commercial Property Inspections

What We Inspect on Commercial Properties

Our commercial property inspections cover all critical exterior components. For flat and low-slope roofs, we document the entire membrane surface, identifying ponding water, membrane deterioration, seam separation, blistering, and punctures. We also inspect rooftop equipment including HVAC units, exhaust fans, skylights, and satellite dishes.

Building facades are thoroughly documented, capturing cracks, staining, spalling, sealant failures, and other exterior wall conditions. For multi-story buildings, our drones can safely fly at any elevation to capture close-up imagery of facade details that would otherwise require expensive lift equipment.

We also inspect parking lots and grounds, documenting pavement cracking, potholes, drainage issues, and site conditions. This comprehensive approach gives you a complete picture of your property's exterior condition in a single inspection.

Benefits for Property Managers and Owners

Commercial property inspections with drones offer significant advantages over traditional methods. Safety is paramount—no personnel are placed on roofs or suspended from buildings, reducing liability and workers' compensation risks. Cost savings are substantial—drone inspections cost a fraction of traditional methods that require lifts, scaffolding, or rope access teams.

Speed is another key benefit. A drone can inspect an entire commercial property in a matter of hours, compared to days for traditional methods. This minimizes disruption to tenants and operations. And because the imagery is digital, it creates a permanent visual record that can be referenced year after year to track condition changes over time.

For property managers overseeing multiple buildings, drone inspections provide a standardized, efficient way to maintain inspection records across an entire portfolio. Regular inspections help identify maintenance needs early, before small problems become expensive repairs.

Due Diligence and Investment Inspections

If you're acquiring a commercial property, a drone inspection provides invaluable due diligence data. Our inspections give you a comprehensive visual assessment of the property's exterior condition, helping you identify potential issues before closing. This information can inform negotiations, repair estimates, and capital expenditure planning.

We deliver inspection reports organized by building component—roof, facade, rooftop equipment, site—with annotated photographs highlighting areas of concern and severity ratings. This format makes it easy to share findings with stakeholders, contractors, and advisors.
