Roof Leak Detection - Exeter Drone Surveys

Roof Leak Detectionin Exeter & Devon

Radiometric thermal imaging to pinpoint roof leaks and moisture ingress without invasive investigation.

Finding the source of a roof leak can be incredibly difficult from ground level. Our DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced carries a 640×512 radiometric thermal sensor that detects temperature differences caused by moisture ingress, pinpointing exactly where water is entering your property. Combined with 48MP visual imagery, this non-invasive approach saves time and money compared to traditional investigation methods.

  • 640×512 radiometric thermal imaging
  • Pinpoint leak sources without invasive investigation
  • Temperature differential mapping of entire roof
  • Combined visual and thermal overlay imagery
  • Ideal for flat roofs and hard-to-access areas
  • Detailed thermal report with annotated images
  • Recommended repair actions included
The Process

How It Works

Our straightforward process for roof leak detection.

01

Report the Issue

Tell us about the leak - where you've noticed water, how long it's been happening, and any other details that might help.

02

Thermal & Visual Survey

We fly both thermal and standard camera passes to identify moisture patterns and their likely source points on your roof.

03

Pinpoint Report

Your report includes thermal overlays showing exactly where moisture is present, with clear recommendations for targeted repairs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our roof leak detection service.

How does thermal imaging detect leaks?
Water retains heat differently to dry building materials. Our Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced's 640×512 radiometric thermal sensor detects these temperature variations, revealing moisture that's invisible to the naked eye. Wet areas show up as distinct thermal signatures on the overlay.
Does it work on all roof types?
Thermal imaging is effective on most roof types including slate, tile, flat roofs, and metal cladding. It's particularly effective on flat roofs where water can pool and travel before becoming visible internally.
What time of day is best for thermal surveys?
Early morning or late afternoon typically provides the best thermal contrast. We'll schedule your survey at the optimal time for the most accurate results.
