Lysterfield South blocks often back onto bushy reserves and sit on exposed ridgelines, so wind-driven rain, leaf build-up and gutter overflow can quietly damage 2 storey roofs—our drone checks the hard-to-reach areas safely.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We photograph ridge caps and mortar/pointing along the full ridgeline to identify cracking, gaps and displaced sections that can let wind-driven rain in, especially on exposed Lysterfield South sites.
We scan the roof surface for cracked, slipped or chipped tiles and for metal sheet issues like dents, lifted edges and loose fasteners. These surface faults often present first on the upper storey where you can’t see them from the ground.
We inspect valleys and roof junctions for leaf build-up, silt, rusting and separation at joins. Blocked valleys can push water under tiles or into sarking, leading to slow, hard-to-trace leaks.
We check upper-level gutters for sagging, overflow staining, heavy debris loads and ponding points, and we look at downpipe heads/inlets where blockages commonly form after windy days and leaf drop.
We capture close images around penetrations and flashings to spot lifting, sealant breakdown and gaps at transitions. These details are common leak points, particularly after roof movement from heat and wind.
We provide clear images of defects and risk areas so you can brief a roofer accurately or use the findings to support a maintenance plan or pre-purchase discussions on a Lysterfield South property.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
On double-storey properties in Lysterfield South, we often see leaf litter collecting in valleys and upper gutters, early cracking in ridge pointing, and deterioration around penetrations like vent pipes and skylights. Exposed sites can also show lifted edges on metal or slipped tiles after strong winds. The drone allows close inspection of these areas without relying on ground-level guesswork.
Yes. We visually assess accessible gutter runs from above, focusing on debris loads, ponding, sagging sections, overflow staining and downpipe inlet blockages. While we can’t physically clear gutters as part of this service, the imagery makes it obvious where cleaning or repair is needed. This is particularly useful on 2 storey homes where gutter issues are difficult to confirm.
It is. We can inspect around the solar array for debris build-up, damaged tiles at mounting points, and flashing or fastener issues in adjacent roof areas. We won’t test the electrical performance of the system, but the drone images help identify roof defects that can form near panel edges and cable penetrations, which are common leak pathways.
Yes. Properties near bushland typically experience heavier leaf drop and fine debris that packs into valleys, box gutters and downpipe heads. During the drone assessment we pay extra attention to these flow paths and to any areas where water could back up under tiles or flashings. We also look for signs of frequent overflow, which can indicate recurring blockages.
Weather and site conditions are the main factors. Strong winds, rain and low visibility can limit safe flying and image quality, and we’ll also consider nearby trees, open space and any obstacles around the home. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss options to reschedule so you still receive clear, usable roof imagery rather than rushed or incomplete results.
