Aerial Inspections
RBC can now offer visual and infrared aerial roof and building inspections on request.Gaining access to inspect high/hard to access areas can be a logistical nightmare, requiring the installation of scaffolding and safety equipment to ensure the safety of all involved. It can take days, if not weeks to plan and organise all of the equipment required for an inspection that may take just a few hours. The use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft minimises risk and reduces lead times resulting in a safer, cost effective solution.
The roof is a building’s first line of defence from natural hazards such as wind, rain, fire, hail and extreme heat. It is also the most vulnerable part of a building. Every day, your roof is exposed to weather and other elements that may contribute to decay and deterioration, increasing the risk of damage to the roof itself and the contents below it.Signs of serious problems may be apparent even from inside the building. Water stains on a ceiling may signal a leak, which can be caused by a crack or hole in the roof. It’s important to understand that even the smallest leak can be a sign of big trouble. Similarly, if the building has unexplained mould or odors inside, this may indicate a roof leak resulting in water penetration. While internal water damage or mold may signal trouble above, it’s also important to visually inspect the roof itself to look for problems that are likely to worsen over time.
