Inspect the hard-to-reach. Safer, faster, fully documented.
Close-up drone inspections for roofs, towers, solar arrays, pipelines, bridges and industrial infrastructure. Get detailed visual data — findings ranked by severity — without scaffolding, rope access or shutting down operations.
Inspect the hard-to-reach places.
Traditional inspections of rooftops, towers and industrial equipment require scaffolding, rope access or taking assets out of service — all of which are costly and time-consuming. Drone inspections eliminate those barriers.
Our pilots fly close, controlled inspection passes at any angle, capturing high-resolution photos and video that give inspectors, engineers and adjusters the data they need — without sending anyone up a ladder.
- Close-up imagery of damage, wear, leaks and failure points
- Findings ranked by severity and mapped to the asset
- No crews at height, no scaffolding, no downtime
What we inspect.
From a single residential roof to miles of right-of-way, every inspection is flown by an FAA Part 107 pilot and documented for the people who have to act on it.
Roof Inspections
Residential and commercial roof inspections for insurance adjusters, property managers and contractors. Identify damage, missing shingles, water intrusion and wear — documented with geo-tagged photos.
Solar Panel Inspection
Thermal and visual inspection of solar arrays to identify underperforming panels, delamination, hot spots and soiling. Keep your system running at peak efficiency.
Cell Tower & Antenna
Close-up inspection of telecom towers, antennas and mounting hardware without costly climb crews. Ideal for routine inspections, storm damage assessment and pre-lease documentation.
Bridge & Structure
Visual inspection of bridge decks, understructure, bearings and drainage systems. Drones access areas under bridges and around columns that are dangerous or impossible to reach on foot.
Pipeline & Transmission
Corridor inspections for oil and gas pipelines, electrical transmission lines and utility easements. Cover miles of right-of-way efficiently with high-resolution video documentation.
Insurance Claims
Fast, documented aerial evidence for hail, wind and storm damage claims. We provide timestamped photos and video that document damage conditions clearly for insurance purposes.
Orthomosaic Mapping
High-resolution, geo-referenced top-down maps built using photogrammetry — stitched from hundreds of aerial photos. Useful for roof takeoffs, site documentation and precise measurements alongside your inspection.
3D Models
Photogrammetry-based 3D models of roofs, structures and terrain, built from your inspection imagery. Rotate, measure and inspect virtually, and share an interactive model with clients or engineers.
See what a drone inspection delivers.
Three assets that usually need a ladder, a lift or a climb crew, each documented from the air with every finding labeled.
Roof Inspection
How we inspect it. We fly close-range passes over every slope, vent, flashing and edge, shooting high-resolution stills and 4K video of each area. Nobody walks the roof.
What you get. Close-up photos with each finding marked and labeled, such as lifted shingle edges, open joints, exposed nails and aging sealant, staining and granule loss, and trim rot or rusted fasteners. It is documentation insurers, owners and roofers can act on.
- Safety benefit. No ladder and no roof walking, so no fall risk for the inspector and no foot-traffic damage to shingles or a weakened roof.
Telecom Tower Inspection
How we inspect it. We fly close-range passes at each level of the tower and capture antennas, radios, mounts and cabling from several angles, without anyone climbing.
What you get. High-resolution stills and 4K video of antenna arrays, radios, mounts and hardware, and cable and connector runs, labeled so you can check condition, document what is installed and plan repairs.
- Safety benefit. No tower climb. Nobody works at height or beside live equipment, which removes the fall risk of a climb crew.
Water Tower Inspection
How we inspect it. We fly around the tank and roof, then close in on the shell, riser and support structure, capturing close-ups from the top of the roof to the base.
What you get. Close-up imagery of the roof, shell, tension rods, riser and supports, with problem spots labeled, such as corroded roof fasteners, rust streaks at the roof edge, rust on a tension rod and corrosion at the riser joint. Repeat flights let you compare the same spots over time.
- Safety benefit. No climbers, rope access or lifts, so nobody is exposed to fall hazards or elevated work.
Roof inspection in 3D.
A residential roof captured in one short drone flight and built into a measurable 3D model: roof lines, lengths and pitch marked right on the house. Drag to orbit, scroll or pinch to zoom, and toggle the layers.
- Roof lines and lengths measured directly from the model
- Pitch callouts on every slope
- Estimated roof envelope you can toggle on and off
- Shareable with clients, adjusters and engineers
Find the problem before it finds you.
Every finding is pinned to the asset, photographed up close and ranked by severity, so owners, adjusters and contractors know what to fix first.
- Geo-tagged, timestamped photos and video
- Written summary of observed conditions
- Documentation ready for insurers, owners and contractors

Questions before you book.
How fast can you inspect?
Same-day or next-day inspections are often available. Most inspections are completed within 1–2 business days of booking. Call us to get scheduled.
When do I get the results?
You receive organized, annotated photos and video with a written summary of observed conditions. Deliverables are typically available within 24 hours of the inspection flight, and in most cases within 24–48 hours.
Do I need to be on site or shut anything down?
No. Drone inspections remove the need for scaffolding, rope access and taking assets out of service, so there is no ladder and no downtime. Your team can review everything remotely.
What can you inspect?
Roofs, solar arrays, cell towers and antennas, bridges and structures, pipelines and transmission corridors, and insurance-claim damage. We can add orthomosaic maps and 3D models alongside any inspection.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. All inspections are performed by FAA Part 107 certified pilots operating within all applicable airspace regulations. TDB carries $1M in liability insurance and is a BBB Accredited business. We coordinate required FAA waivers for controlled airspace when necessary. Proof of insurance is available in the footer.
