Setting the Standard in AZ Roofing Since 1993
A drone inspection gives property owners a clear view of roof conditions with fast reporting, safer access, and accurate details that support smart repair planning.
Large commercial roofs face heavy strain from UV exposure, dust, monsoon winds, ponding water, and constant equipment traffic. These issues form wear patterns that are hard to see from the ground or during a quick walk-through. Drone inspections give building owners a complete rooftop view that helps them respond before leaks spread or materials break down. Our team uses aerial footage to detect problems in locations that normally require ladders, lifts, or multiple technicians. This reduces safety risk, increases accuracy, and provides the clarity needed to protect every part of your building. Real visuals help managers communicate with tenants, document insurance needs, and map out long-term roof care based on facts rather than assumptions.
A detailed inspection begins with a study of the building layout, roof type, and known problem areas. Our licensed drone pilot then launches a structured flight path that covers slopes, edges, penetrations, drains, and equipment zones. Each flight collects high-resolution still photos, 4K video, and thermal readings when needed. This gives an inside look at hidden moisture, seam stress, lifting materials, or areas weakened by heat. After the flight, our roofing team reviews imagery together with the pilot to identify issues that require attention. You receive a clean, organized digital report that highlights visual evidence and practical repair recommendations. No large crews, no roof access setup, and no interruptions for your tenants.
A drone inspection saves time and reduces the stress tied to traditional onsite roof access. Property owners get fast answers about leaks, aging membranes, moisture pockets, or HVAC-related damage. Drones capture detail at angles that people cannot access safely, which makes them ideal for tall, fragile, or complex roof structures. Our approach supports better planning, lower repair costs, and improved safety for your maintenance teams and tenants. The data shows exactly where a potential issue starts, so repairs can be targeted instead of broad or uncertain. This level of precision helps extend roof life, supports warranty care, and strengthens your building’s long-term value.
Moisture problems often begin under the surface, where traditional inspections struggle to detect early signs. Thermal imaging helps locate temperature differences linked to trapped water or failing insulation. Our drone-mounted thermal sensors scan large roof sections in seconds, revealing pockets of moisture that would typically require invasive testing. This gives building owners a head start on fixing issues before they reach interior spaces, electrical systems, or stored materials. Early moisture detection is critical in Arizona, where high heat accelerates roof aging. A single thermal scan supports better repair plans, stronger asset protection, and improved warranty compliance.
Drone inspections support a wide range of commercial environments. Buildings with large flat roofs, multi-level structures, or heavy rooftop equipment benefit from quick aerial coverage. Schools, warehouses, hospitals, retail centers, and manufacturing facilities often need fast assessments with minimal disruption. Drones also help after monsoon storms by documenting wind uplift, flashing movement, or debris impact before repairs begin. They allow property managers to verify recent work, check drainage paths, and track roof aging over time. Every inspection creates a visual record that becomes part of your roof management plan, making long-term planning easier and more precise.
A drone alone won’t interpret roof problems. Lyons Roofing adds decades of commercial roofing experience to every inspection, so each photo gets reviewed by technicians who understand what the signs mean. Our team identifies seam stress, fastener issues, flashing movement, coating wear, UV breakdown, and drainage concerns that often get missed by companies that only fly drones. You receive a full explanation of what the drone captured along with clear recommendations built on real roofing expertise. This blend of technology and hands-on knowledge is what gives Arizona businesses reliable, actionable information instead of vague or incomplete reports.
Routine drone inspections help track how your roof changes throughout the year. Sun exposure, monsoon storms, heavy foot traffic, and rooftop equipment work together to speed up wear. Scheduled aerial checkups help identify early issues before they affect operations or tenants. Many businesses request seasonal drone scans to verify storm effects, check drainage pathways, or confirm that past repairs continue to perform well. Routine monitoring also supports warranty requirements, insurance records, and long-term maintenance budgeting. With Lyons Roofing, you stay ahead of problems, not behind them.
Arizona weather and commercial activity create consistent roof challenges. Drone inspections allow us to pinpoint issues early so property owners can plan repairs before they grow.
These issues grow quickly in Arizona’s environment, and drones help catch them before they disrupt business.
