Springvale South’s mix of older tiled roofs and newer townhouse builds often hides cracked ridge capping, blocked valleys and storm-driven tile slip that’s hard to see from the ground—our drone check captures the details safely.

Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We photograph every roof face from multiple angles to spot slipped or cracked tiles, damaged metal sheets, surface rust, and patch repairs that may be failing. This matters on 2 storey homes where height and roof pitch make ground checks unreliable.
We zoom in on ridge lines and hips to identify deteriorated mortar, gaps, and displaced capping that can let wind-driven rain into the roof space. It’s a common weak point on tiled roofs and can be missed without close access.
We inspect valleys and key drainage lines for debris build-up, corrosion, and incorrect overlaps. Valleys concentrate water during Melbourne downpours, so small defects here can create persistent leaks and staining inside the home.
We check flashings around chimneys, skylights, vents and plumbing penetrations for lifting edges, sealant breakdown and poor detailing. These penetrations are frequent leak sources on townhouse-style roof designs in Springvale South.
Where visible from the drone, we assess gutter lines, overflow points, and signs of ponding or blockage such as vegetation, silt build-up and staining. On two-storey builds, blocked gutters can overflow into eaves and walls before anyone notices.
You receive labelled images that show the exact location of issues (for example, ‘rear left valley’ or ‘front ridge near solar inverter’) so a roofer can quote accurately. It reduces guesswork and helps you prioritise urgent items.

Yes. Many Springvale South homes have tiled roofs where common issues include cracked tiles, slipped tiles, and deteriorating ridge capping mortar. A drone allows close-up views of ridges, valleys and tile courses across a two-storey roof without stepping on brittle tiles. You’ll receive photos that clearly show damage patterns, helping you decide whether monitoring or targeted repairs are appropriate.
Yes. Modern two-storey townhouses often have multiple roof planes, penetrations and concealed drainage sections. A drone assessment is well suited to these designs because it can capture detailed images around skylights, vents and flashing junctions, and it can document areas that are difficult to see from the ground due to neighbouring walls and limited side access.
A drone assessment focuses on what’s visible externally, so it can’t confirm internal roof-space conditions such as insulation wetting, hidden timber decay, or leaks that don’t present on the surface. It also can’t test waterproofing membranes under tiles or access concealed box gutters where visibility is blocked. If we see risk indicators, we’ll recommend the next best step to investigate further.
Often, yes. Springvale South streets and backyards commonly have mature trees, and debris can collect in valleys and gutters, especially after windy weather. Where gutters and drainage lines are visible, the drone can capture signs of blockage such as leaf build-up, silt, overflow staining and vegetation growth. If areas are concealed, we’ll note limitations and suggest practical checks or cleaning intervals.
Most two-storey drone roof assessments take around 20–45 minutes on site, depending on roof complexity, access and weather. You’ll receive a report with high-resolution photos and clear notes on observed defects, likely water-entry points and areas to monitor. The report is designed to help you brief a roofer accurately or decide whether further inspection is needed.
