Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We photograph the full roof field to identify cracked, slipped or broken tiles, lifted edges on sheet roofing, and surface deterioration that can allow water tracking under the roof covering.
We check ridge lines and hips for missing mortar, deteriorated pointing and displaced caps—common leak entry points on tiled roofs, particularly around wind-exposed ridges on 2 storey homes.
We capture close imagery of valleys and roof-to-roof intersections to spot debris build-up, corrosion, gaps and poor lap lines that can cause water to back up and enter the roof space.
We assess flashings at chimneys (where present), skylights, vent pipes, satellite mounts, and wall abutments to flag lifting, sealant failure, or gaps that can direct water into internal framing.
From above, we look for sections that appear out of fall, bent guttering, separated joints and overflow points near valleys and downpipes—areas that can contribute to fascia damage and eave leaks.
Where installed, we review solar panel positioning, mounts and nearby tiles/sheets for disturbance, as well as condition around evaporative cooling units and service penetrations that often create complex sealing points.

Yes. Many Springvale homes have tiled roofs where small cracks, slipped tiles or deteriorated ridge pointing can be hard to see from ground level. A drone captures close-up images across ridges, hips and valleys, so we can flag visible defects and areas where water may track under tiles. It’s a practical option for 2 storey properties where access is limited or unsafe.
We prioritise leak-prone and high-wear areas: ridge capping and pointing, valleys, roof-to-wall junctions, gutters near downpipes, and penetrations like vents, skylights and mounts. We also scan broad roof fields for cracked or displaced tiles and any sheet roofing that appears lifted or corroded. The goal is to document defects with photos you can act on.
We can capture imagery around solar arrays and the adjacent roof surfaces to look for disturbed tiles/sheets, compromised flashings and fixings issues that can contribute to leaks. While we’re not testing electrical performance, the drone assessment is useful for identifying roof-entry risks and physical concerns around the panel footprint and cable/penetration points.
Yes. In parts of Springvale with established trees, leaf litter can collect in valleys and gutters, increasing overflow risk during heavy rain. During the drone inspection we pay close attention to valleys, gutter lines, and junction points where debris commonly builds up. We’ll note visible blockages or areas that appear prone to pooling so you can plan cleaning or repairs.
For safety and image quality, drone flights can be delayed by strong wind, rain or poor visibility. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll reschedule to the next workable time. Clear imagery is essential for spotting cracked tiles, flashing gaps and corrosion, so we won’t rush the flight in weather that could compromise accuracy or safety.
