DRONE ROOF INSPECTION
SKOKIE SMART ROOFING

Roof Inspection with Drone & Moisture Detection in Skokie, Illinois

 

Your roof might appear solid from the ground, but that doesn't mean it's free of hidden problems.

 

At Skokie Smart Roofing, we use state-of-the-art drone imaging and moisture detection technology to uncover roof damage that typical inspections miss. No guesswork. No surface-level assumptions. Just smart, accurate diagnostics—delivered fast, with zero roof disruption.

​

Whether you manage a flat commercial building or own a residential property in Skokie, our drone & moisture detection inspection helps you detect leaks, insulation issues, and water damage early—before they evolve into expensive repairs.

​

What Is a Roof Inspection with Drone & Moisture Detection?

​

This service blends two advanced inspection techniques: high-resolution drone scans and non-invasive moisture mapping. Our FAA-certified drone operators fly over your entire roof system, capturing clear visuals from every angle—reaching places a ladder can’t, like flat rooftops, fragile edges, or steep slopes.

​

Then, we use tools like the Tramex™ ME5 moisture meter to detect internal water buildup in insulation layers, wood decking, or roof membranes—without removing any part of your roofing system.

​

Why It’s Better Than Traditional Roof Inspections

​

• No walking or climbing on your roof—zero risk of damage

• Full coverage of every square foot, even hard-to-access areas

• Moisture detected early—before rot, rust, or mold develops

• Drone visuals and moisture logs formatted for insurance claims

• Full inspection report delivered within 48 hours

 

Thermal imaging can also be added to detect temperature shifts from hidden leaks or heat loss—great for catching what the eye can’t see.

​

What Problems Can This Reveal?

​

This inspection goes well beyond surface signs and can uncover:

• Hidden leaks under shingles, tiles, or membranes

• Moisture buildup inside insulation or roof decking

• Storm damage that wasn’t obvious at first glance

• Heat escape caused by poor insulation or soaked materials

• Repairs that are failing or incorrectly installed

• Mold-friendly conditions forming inside structural elements

 

In Skokie—where freezing winters, spring rains, and aging infrastructure are common—this technology gives property owners a head start on prevention.

​

Signs You Might Need This Type of Roof Inspection

​

You should schedule this inspection if:

• You see stains or bubbling on ceilings or interior walls

• There’s a mildew smell in the attic or upper floors

• Your energy bills have gone up without explanation

• Your roof is more than 10–15 years old

• You’ve experienced recent hail, snow, or strong winds

• You’re preparing to buy, sell, or insure a property

• You’ve recently had repairs and want independent verification

 

Even when a roof appears “fine,” moisture can silently eat away at its core. Our inspection reveals the facts.

​

Why Moisture Detection Matters

​

Moisture is one of the most damaging forces for any roof. If it stays hidden, it can:

• Dramatically reduce your roof’s expected life

• Destroy insulation performance, raising energy costs

• Lead to rot, rust, and structural instability

• Allow mold and mildew to spread indoors

• Weaken joints, fasteners, and rafters silently over time

 

That’s why we pair drone visuals with professional-grade moisture detection and thermal scanning—so you can act before costly damage takes over.

​

What’s in Your Report?

​

You’ll receive a detailed, insurance-ready digital report, which includes:

• Drone-captured imagery of your entire roof

• Moisture readings sectioned by zone

• Thermal scans if applicable, showing heat inconsistencies

• Labeled risk areas (S-1, S-2, etc.) with clear overlays

• Square footage of impacted zones

• Repair recommendations: monitor, fix, or replace

• A user-friendly summary for homeowners, adjusters, or realtors

 

This isn’t just data—it’s a roadmap to your next step.
