Inspections in South Florida
Cell tower inspections used to mean sending a person up the tower. It was slow, expensive, and dangerous in weather that South Florida produces most afternoons. The alternative was a cherry picker or a crane, which is costly and useless anywhere remote.
A drone with a high-resolution camera gets closer than a climber can, in a fraction of the time, with nobody off the ground. We can broadcast the feed live while you watch, or upload the footage for you to review afterward.
What you get
- Cell tower condition and mounted-equipment assessment
- Roof inspections for residential and commercial buildings - leaks, shingle condition, install progress
- Tank inspections, including navigation of confined spaces
- Energy assets: solar arrays, wind turbines and power lines
- Bridge structural and construction documentation
- Live broadcast during the flight, or footage uploaded for later review
How it works
What the job looks like
Tell us the asset and the question
A roof leak, a corroded mount, a panel that stopped producing. What you are looking for shapes how we fly it.
We clear the airspace
Towers sit in awkward places. We handle the authorization before the flight rather than discovering the problem on site.
We fly close
High-resolution stills and video of the structure and everything mounted on it, from angles a climber cannot hold a camera at.
You review it
Watch the broadcast live, or take the uploaded footage and go through it with your own engineer.
Examples
Work from this service
Frames from Papa's Aerial shoots across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach.
Questions
Inspections FAQ
What can a drone inspection actually show?
High-resolution cameras and sensors capture detail across the whole structure, which is what lets an inspector identify corrosion, damage, or ordinary wear and tear without anyone leaving the ground.
Can we watch the inspection as it happens?
Yes. We can broadcast the feed in real time, or upload the footage to a server for you to review at your own pace afterward.
Do you inspect anything other than towers?
Yes - roofs, storage tanks, solar arrays, wind turbines, power lines and bridges, plus one-off custom requests where a project needs imagery nobody can safely reach.
Is a drone inspection safer than a climb?
It removes the climb entirely. Nobody works at height, nobody waits on weather, and the camera gets closer to the equipment than a person hanging off a tower comfortably can.
Can you inspect a roof for an insurance claim?
We document roof condition - leaks, shingle damage, installation progress - in high resolution. What the claim needs is between you and your adjuster; the imagery is yours.
How fast is turnaround on an inspection?
Edited stills come back within 24 hours. If the work needs stitching or mapping, that adds several days.
