Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sUAS?
A sUAS (small Unmanned Aircraft System) is a type of drone designed for various tasks, such as aerial photography, surveying, or inspection, and is characterized by its small size and remote operation.
What does photovoltaic mean?
Photovoltaic refers to the technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells.
Can I trust drone technology?
Yes, drone technology is generally trustworthy, but reliability depends on using high-quality equipment and following proper regulations and maintenance practices.
Why should I choose a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business?
Choosing a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business supports veterans who have sacrificed for their country and often ensures a commitment to excellence, integrity, and dedication. These businesses frequently offer personalized service and a strong work ethic, contributing positively to both their communities and the economy.
Why do you not use DJI Drones?
We do not use DJI drones because they do not meet the Blue sUAS certification requirements, which mandate that drones be sourced from U.S.-based manufacturers to ensure compliance with stringent security and reliability standards.
What is the benefit of having a drone roof inspection vs traditional?
The benefit of a drone roof inspection over traditional methods lies primarily in enhanced data gathering and improved safety. Drones provide high-resolution images and detailed data from various angles, allowing for a more comprehensive assessment of the roof's condition. Additionally, they eliminate the need for ladders or scaffolding, significantly reducing the risks associated with working at heights, which protects both inspectors and the property. Overall, drone inspections offer a safer and more efficient way to gather critical information about roof integrity.
Why should I have my tower inspected annually?
The National Association of Tower Erectors recommends annual tower inspections to ensure safety, structural integrity, and compliance with regulations. Regular inspections help identify and address potential issues before they escalate, reduce maintenance costs, extend the lifespan of the tower, and protect personnel and equipment from hazards.
What is thermography?
Thermography is a technique that uses infrared cameras to detect and visualize heat patterns and temperature variations on surfaces, allowing for non-invasive inspection of conditions such as electrical faults, insulation inefficiencies, or structural issues.
How does thermal imaging benefit me?
Thermal imaging benefits you by detecting hidden issues such as heat leaks, electrical faults, or water damage without invasive procedures, allowing for early intervention and more efficient maintenance or repairs.
