Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We capture close images along ridges and hips to identify cracking, gaps, displaced caps, or deteriorated pointing that can allow wind-driven rain to enter—issues that are common on older tiled roofs and hard to confirm from the street.
We look for cracked, slipped or missing tiles, including isolated damage that can be missed from ground level. On 2 storey properties, even a single displaced tile can direct water into sarking, battens and ceiling spaces.
We review valleys and any box gutters for leaf build-up, corrosion, and signs of ponding. In leafier parts of Mount Waverley, blocked flow paths are a common trigger for overflow and leaks at internal corners.
We assess visible flashing lines for lifting, cracking, or poor laps where roofs meet walls or penetrations. These junctions are frequent leak points, particularly on renovations and second-storey additions.
We inspect penetrations such as vent pipes and service entry points for damaged boots, loose collars, and sealing failures. Small gaps around penetrations often cause slow leaks that don’t show up indoors until damage spreads.
We capture the roof perimeter to spot misaligned gutters, overflow staining, and sections where debris accumulation is likely. This helps target cleaning and maintenance to the areas most likely to back up during heavy rain.

Yes. Many Mount Waverley homes have tiled roofs where age-related issues show up first at ridges, hips, valleys and around flashings. A drone assessment lets us closely view cracked tiles, displaced ridge caps, deteriorated pointing and debris build-up without climbing. It’s a practical way to confirm roof condition before you commit to repairs, a purchase, or further invasive investigations.
We focus on visible roof coverings (tiles or metal), ridge capping/pointing, valleys and any box gutters, flashings at wall junctions and penetrations, and general roof-line condition. The goal is to identify defects that commonly lead to water ingress, overflow, or wind damage, and to document them clearly with images so you can plan next steps.
A drone assessment can identify likely entry points such as cracked tiles, lifted flashings, debris dams and gaps at penetrations, which are common causes of leaks. It can’t see inside the roof cavity or confirm moisture levels on its own. If interior leak symptoms exist, we’ll recommend the most suitable follow-up, such as a targeted internal inspection or a roofer’s invasive testing.
We can often see leaf build-up and debris dams in valleys and along gutter lines from above, which is especially helpful on double-storey homes where you can’t safely inspect edges. While we don’t remove debris as part of the assessment, we flag locations where overflow risk is higher and where cleaning is most likely needed before the next period of heavy rain.
Weather and site conditions can affect flights. Strong winds, heavy rain, poor visibility, or restricted access around the property can prevent safe operation. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling so you still get clear, usable imagery. We also work with you to choose a time when the site is accessible and the roof can be viewed properly.
